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

    Wow, can't be dodged? I want a class ability like that!

    Rate my sig (cheap excuse for a .sig test)

    Of course, this assumes I can get my .sig to work right.

    [OT, grammar and punctuation] Use of commas in US and British style?

    With a couple of weird exceptions, such as Biblical names (e.g., "Jesus" and "Moses"), singular nouns should always be made possessive with "'s", even if they end in the letter "s". *** Also, re: "I could care less": I think that while the phrase most probably originated as a sarcastic...

    The Rape of Morne [Final Update]

    I think giving Ulao the pick and a speech about how it's Ortwin's own weapon might backfire if Ulao noticed how much more impressive Ortwin's scimitar was.

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

    It doesn't seem like a very noble act to sucker some poor hapless dwarf into taking the job, though. You know what would be perfect for the job? An inevitable! Do the Defenders have any good contacts on Mechanus? (Hey, maybe they'll run into some marching modrons while they're there.)...

    Scrolling news dingus

    Personally, I'm not too keen on it. Sure, loading Java only takes a few seconds each time I come here, but given my compulsive reading habits of certain story hourse, that adds up quickly! Any chance we'll get the option to turn it off? (Oh, and I agree, as long as it's there, might as well...

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

    You can see it on Velendo's character sheet. Speaking of which, where do Velendo's Protection from Evil, 1/week/level; Sanctuary, 1/day; and Wall of Calphas, 1/day abilities come from? Are they just standard Calphasian perks, like the brick thing? Are they related to him being a Proxy for...

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

    It's one of his Hunter of the Dead abilities: PC, the wording suggests that this does not apply to undead destroyed by turning (a Supernatural ability) or positive energy bursts (I'm guessing they're Su, as well). Is that the intent?

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

    I can't help wondering if the ghouls have been reading the evil overlord list, particularly item #80.

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

    We'll just say that the divinations are mysteriously blocked. Not like that's happened overly much in the story hour form lately or anything. :D

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

    Oh, come on. Evil, undead, monstrous children are such a cliché. How about having the Defenders encounter a group of fairly normal, but still somehow creepy children? For example, the Defenders take out a minor ghoul stronghold (perhaps a long-ago captured Dwarven outpost or something), and...

    1000 Unique Magical Items/priced/lvled/exp

    A slightly cheesy item, which probably fits better into a "Beer and pretzels", "Kick in the Door" style game than a serious roleplay-focused game #55 Amulet of Life Saving These golden amulets come in a variety of designs, ranging from the simple to the ornate. When the wearer of such an...

    1000 Unique Magical Items/priced/lvled/exp

    #54 Cloak of Twilight Blacker than any natural material could possibly be, this cloak is obviously magical. When worn, it grants the wearer a +15 circumstance bonus on Hide checks in darkness. If the wearer knows the nature of the cloak, however, he can invoke its other powers. First, the...

    The Heretic of Wyre - Part II

    Er, I think he gained a level. "His mind swam with potency.", and he went to scribe Gate into his spellbook afterward. The side effects were, uh... growing pains?

    [art, hosted] DnD Iconics gallery! Today: Alhandra!

    You cut off her arms! :eek: ...and while I'm sure that if anyone can smite evil with no arms, it's our favorite iconic paladin, but still, I think she deserves to have them show up in her sig pic. Plus, I think the spikes are cool. I've attached a fixed version. (I may have no artistic...

    The Heretic of Wyre - Part II

    Phooey. Think of it as a hypothesis. Now we just need some free time for Mostin and a volunteer or three... You kidding me? I've got learning nothing down to an art form, bub. :D Much as I love your story hour, Sep, I guess I'm glad I'm not one of your players. That sort of thing's...

    The Heretic of Wyre - Part II

    Re: Thanks All Hmm. That's really interesting. Is natural reincarnation (as opposed to the spell) a common fate for souls in Wyre, or is this only effective against the presumably small group of people who've been reincarnated? If the former, could you cast this on somebody repeatedly, and...

    Oz d20 - a world of Swashbuckling Adventure and High Weirdness

    What a cool concept! I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this thread! When do we get to see classes?
