Rule #1: Never split the group On the other side they stepped onto a narrow stone bridge, which extended to the far side of the room. Thousands of fist-sized stone spheres formed a floor about 10 feet below. ‘who has the time to do this kind of thing?’ Ehrune wondered. Etherik boldly began to...

I see undead people 5 Reaping, 595 CY Ehrune, Etherik, and Lindingar returned to the Cairn the next morning, intent on further exploring its innermost secrets. Back down the yellow elevator, Ehrune unleashed a couple ray of frost spells on the brown mold, destroying it. Past the mold they...

Meanwhile, Ehrune had met with his master, Allustan, and traded some shards of a strange black stone he had found in the Cairn for the permission to copy the ray of frost spell from Allustan’s spellbook. Allustan examined the glyphs Ehrune discovered in the Cairn; he didn’t know what they meant...

I'll get you my pretty, and your little dog too! Back at Diamond Lake, Ehrune ran off to go see his master, Allustan, while Etherik ambled over to the Feral Dog, a local pub of some repute (but none of it good). Ferros skulked away, magical ring still on hand. The Feral Dog was the kind of pub...

"nobody makes me bleed my own blood!" "Am I flat-footed...or am i just delaying?" "My turn."

Caught between a rock and a hard face 4 Reaping, 595 CY After restocking much-needed supplies, Ehrune and Etherik returned to the Cairn with a new companion in tow. He was an oiled and muscled ex-gladiator-turned-mine merchant bodyguard named Ferros, and he looked capable of handling whatever...

2 Reaping, 595 CY. The two set out the next morning for the Bronzewood Lodge. They had heard of a local guide who helped the Free City Adventurers, as they were being called, and might be willing to be their guide. Once at the Lodge, they requested a meeting with the guide. Quite unexpectedly...

Ehrune knew he had found something special. Well, rather, the local cartogropher had found something special, but is was all on account of Ehrune pushing and prodding him to look over his oldest maps for signs of undiscovered cairns. And there it was, scrawled in a barely legible hand and marked...

1 Reaping, 595 CY. The adventure began like any other. Burdened with unpaid debts, living by the sweat off one's back, wishing for a way out. A group of adventures had been hanging around town for the last few days, spending gold as if they had an endless supply, frquenting the local pubs, and...

The following journal is an account of the adventures of my Age of Worms campaign, set in Greyhawk. The campaign began in late March, with the characters starting off at 3rd level (because I heard that the AP was quite difficult). The Players Ehrune of Dyvers (swash 2/wiz 3) - a daring...

Just call it a gestalt class and be done with it.

Yeah, my players are happy. And I completely disagree with you that there is a DM vs. PC mentality. IMO, players want to know that actions have consequences and that those consequences will be realistic. So, they know that if they go to up to a great wyrm red dragon and insult it, the dragon...

Pitting a 1st level PC against a Balor is against the RAW...pitting a 10th level Assassin against a group of 9th level PCs is perfectly reasonable. I also don't think that the ranged death attack feat is overpowered (nor does it matter since the players agreed to include the feat). What makes...

Seeing as how Hunter appears to have disappeared from this thread, would you mind taking a crack at my Fane creature?

I basically give them a decreased caster progression. Every level where a wizard would gain a bonus feat, s/he gains the feat but does not gain an additional caster level.

Nearly all of the old-era Wizards are dead or insane. A huge anti-wizard backlash among the human population resulted in the destruction of the magic schools and the formation of a new religion that villifies Wizards. With the loss of the most knowledgable Wizards, the secrets of magical item...

How about magical tattoos that allow armor special properties?
