The problem with this idea is that without any of their stereotypes you could name anything as the race. Perhaps you want 1 ft tall purple skinned reptilian-scaled humanoid(ish) beings - and call them 'elves'? Or how about 18 ft tall thin as a willow branch 'dwarves'? Or maybe halflings are...

If they are headed for disaster, I'll have a few signs or suggestions along the way to discourage them, but ultimately the players themselves choose their path. Should they insist upon a foolhardy stumble towards TPK . . . well, I *did* warn them.

Giving an artifact a price is like trying to state a price for something utterly unique: the Mona Lisa, the Hope Diamond, a hole in one on a par four, and so forth. Some things truly are priceless. (And, no, Mastercard is not necessary /needed for every thing else. :p )

:eek: That is . . . :confused: I never would have thought of that, but I think you are correct - and the implications and plot hooks are astonishing! The only problem I see is . . . do babies have normal Int, Wis, Cha? Or should they have penalties to Int and/or Wis? (Somehow, I see them as...

You left out an "I don't buy or use minis" option. I rarely need minis. When a situation arises where knowledge of how the battlefield is precisely setup is necessary, I have plenty of spare change and dice, loose paper to write / draw on, and pens with which to write / draw whatever details...

I tend to do something similar. I use a bronze age model as it allows for vast unexplored regions, and except for a few 'empires' (some of which are really the size of kingdoms or even principalities), most settlements are self-sufficient towns and villages or powerful city-states - that only...

Suddenly I just had a recollection of watching Voltron as a kid, except this time it was modrons joining together. :confused: :lol: And then, reading 'race of alien constructs', I thought of the Transformers - specifically the movie coming this summer. :uhoh: :lol: I think I need more...

It could mean only 3 castings (or less) from a runestaff per day, although I tend to lean away from this reading, due to the fact that some runestaves have more than 3 spells in them. Wizards may not be able to use a spell in a runestaff if it is not known to them (ie: in their book or known via...

I'll have to go back and re-read it. Somehow I thought it was each spell in the staff could be used once per day. If it is more along the lines of any spell in the staff, but overall uses of the staff no more than 3 per day, that changes the feel and balance of the item. Okay, I note that it...

Charlie McGee (Firestarter) is an interesting and highly plausible addition, although I cannot see her as an analogue to any of the Extraordinary Gentlemen in the movie or comics. She'd be a nice original character add-on. McGyver is also interesting, although I am not quite certain as to his...

Actually, I think they need to drink from the grail regularly to have immortality. Otherwise, it just heals any injury / disease / poison you currently have, perhaps slowing aging for a while. Remember, the knight that guarded the grail was exceedingly aged, yet he had been of moderate age when...

I would suggest the following: Indiana Jones or Eric Draven (The Crow) [Allan Quatermain] Conner McLeod (Highlander) [Dorian Gray] Dr. Emmett "Doc" Brown (Back to the Future inventor) [Captain Nemo] Blade (or Alucard from Hellsing) [Wilhelmina Harker / Murray] Bruce Banner / Hulk [Dr Jekyll /...

A few oddities, but otherwise good . . . The description states that such staves usually have 2-5 spells, but they give an example with 6 spells. This suggests to me, for instance, that a Cleric of a deity might have a Runestaff of ______ domain, holding all the spells of that domain, allowing...

Better be careful. I think he's gone rogue, so who can say what he might do next. :eek:

That is actually a good point. The only exception I can think of is that in shinto the deities are more spirit than manifest / corporeal divine beings. The spirit of Mt Fuji is worshipped, but I don't think they consider Mt Fuji itself a deity - at least not in the western world sense of the...

I was turned off the idea of getting "Expedition to the Demonweb pits" due to my thought that there would be a strong drow connection (due to Lolth), but now I am seriously reconsidering. I may just have to buy this book . . . and don't you mean Evilgasm

I find it interesting that although the game is made and balanced for use with a party with four characters, the majority by far seems to play it with 5-6 characters.

Have you ever read J Gregory Keyes books "Waterborn" and its sequel "Black God"? The setting in these books is almost identical to your 'land of a thousand gods' idea. Every river, stream, etc has a deity, as does every forest, every mountain, etc. Magic is either due to deific nature (eg: a...

This might be a silly question, but just what line of plastic toys were these? I've never heard or seen of such, although pocket monsters might come close . . . .

Still, I can see this lowering the usefulness of the item considerably. The advantage of potions is that they can be taken just about anywhere and used days, weeks, months, even years after they are made. So how about the item being good for, say, 7 - level * 1d3 days. By this I mean something...
