    DoctorB's Legacy of Alexander Story Hour

    Made visible by her spell, the wizardess found herself under attack from a frighteningly accurate archer. The drow poison soon had her almost unable to move. The giant now stood just behind the barrier. Seeing her danger, Karl shouted an ancient dwarven battle cry and attacked the beast with...

    DoctorB's Legacy of Alexander Story Hour

    Escape from the Underdark The Salutorum appears as a large golden goblet, nine inches in diameter with four gems set on the outsides amid intricate scenes of hospitals and battlefield medicine. Titansbane is more impressive. The Dwarven Greataxe seems entirely made of mithril with intricately...

    DoctorB's Legacy of Alexander Story Hour

    Arin's Story The Champions holed up for the night using Joy’s Stone Shape to close in an abandoned cavern near the remains of the main drow camp. Finally, Cobbe turned to Arin, now back in human form: “So, now that we know that you’re a dragon. I think that is great and all, but you need to...

    DoctorB's Legacy of Alexander Story Hour

    The remaining Champions had other things to worry about. Cobbe continued to climb down the rope, hoping to recover Titansbane and the Salutorum without having to kill the gargantuan spider. Toiva held on to the rope with his legs and one arm as he swung his sword at the spider clinging to the...

    Philosopher King Prestige Class

    Well, I think the character has to be Lawful, but you could adjust it a little to make it work for another alignment. I am working on an "evil overlord" class that will act as a counter to this one.

    DoctorB's Legacy of Alexander Story Hour

    Slowly, the Champions shoved the 4500-pound giant’s body toward the towering wall of fire and the edge of the pit of darkness below. Onyx continued to concentrate, holding up the wall against the drow leaders they thought would be waiting for them on the other side. Cobbe, Toiva, and Liana had...

    [Meta] What Influences Your Story Hour Writing Style?

    I am constantly influenced by other story hours as well as books I am reading. I have been using my story hour to experiment with different writing styles to try and see which one fits me best. I guess I will settle down to just one eventually.

    Challenging my high-lvl group (NPCs and monsters; my players shouldn't read this!)

    How about a place where all of the inhabitants were neutral or good but have been made undead without realizing they are undead. The thing that makes it fun is you have people working the fields, selling (rotten or mummified) bread, gossiping with each other, etc. They would even beg for...

    Philosopher King Prestige Class

    That is an interesting point about Wisdom bonus. One of my players does want to take it. He intends to be a super-leader.

    Philosopher King Prestige Class

    One of the players in my campaign (Cobbe) suggested this prestige class. What do you think about its power and balance? What should I suggest for changes? Thanks! Philosopher King "Noble, gracious, the friend of truth, justice, courage, temperance . . . to men like him, when perfected by...

    DoctorB's Legacy of Alexander Story Hour

    A Long-Hidden Truth In the morning, Karl scouted out the entrance to the drow cavern and discovered that the dark elves had returned in the night. Two of the massive three-armed giants stood guard beside the entrance. The Champions made their plans. Drinking her darkvision potion, Joy ran...

    "I nerfed the sorceror"

    A couple of thoughts: 1) You could emphasize the "descendent of Dragons" element of sorcerers. They could get some of the abilities of the Dragon disciple class as they gain level. They become half-dragons at 16th level or something... 2) You could take the sorcerer spells and just treat it...

    Necromancer PrC sucks! I need a new one.

    I did something similar in my campaign. The villain was drawing on the power of a captured Dragon to power his super-undead abilities. He raised an army of thousands of undead but he could not command them, so he sent wraiths to control them and had a magical communication device to talk with...

    DoctorB's Legacy of Alexander Story Hour

    Into the Underdark (continued) Of course, waiting for the onslaught was not such a good plan. Galena put down a grease spell to counter the inevitable charge we were sure was coming. Instead, a dark elf female poked her head around the corner long enough to cast a fireball into the middle of...

    DoctorB's Legacy of Alexander Story Hour

    Into the Underdark From the journal of Rolf Wolfcaller, Defender of the Mountain The lava elementals seemed friendly enough to Galena. They spoke a strange combination of Ignan and Terran and chatted about how new the magical bridge spanning the river was and stressed that “Father” could wake...

    Challenging my high-lvl group (NPCs and monsters; my players shouldn't read this!)

    Great stuff! I like the idea of creatures that are group intelligences. What advantages would it give to have 100 ghouls who thought as one? Imagine them moving in perfect unison.

    DoctorB's Legacy of Alexander Story Hour

    Secrets (continued) From the writings of Rolf Wolfcaller: Naturally, as a Defender of the Dwarvenrealm, I was one of the three who would accompany the Champions on their quest though Nar and Ang would have to stay above. I met them in their rooms in the Mountain to talk about tactics for the...

    NeMoren's Vault III: Return to the dungeon!

    P-Kitty here, sneaking onto the computer in the middle of a post-wedding-shower get-together! Man, I'm shameless - and anti-social, and too lazy to log out my host. Do the party thang; I'll be home Sunday night, and have a nice combat update waiting for you Monday morning. Until then, have a...

    Drukar Rigall's Story “I traveled with Regor Blackblade. It was my honor to command the soldiers the Mountain sent to fight alongside Alexander in the Great War. Regor became a Companion to the General and won great fame in his own right. Soon after we had returned from the war, the...
