    Wild Mage in Complete Arcane?

    I think there was a link in some thread a few days ago to a post on the WOTC messageboards by one of the design team saying that the Wild Mage will be in Complete Arcane. Don't quote me on this one, and I'm sure who posted it, but I am pretty sure the Wild Mage will appear.

    JollyDoc's Shackled City: FINAL POST [Updated 11/2!!]

    When my party faced the bone naga, they dealt with it rather quickly and without much pain. The flying paladin wielding a holy bastard sword managed to flank it with the spider climbing rogue, also wielding a holy bastard sword. A few smite evil + Power Attack combinations later, plus some...

    DM Brainiac's Prison of the Firebringer (Updated 12/21/05)

    Chapter 12 The High Conflagration sat behind his desk, Degradzel seated opposite him. A hulking troll in chainmail stood behind the High Conflagration, his arms crossed across his massive chest. Their eyes were on Durzhul, bruised and bloodied, as he paced about the room. The durzagon's eyes...

    Handing character death

    In the games I run, it is mainly a decision on the player's part whether he wants to take the level loss and continue running his character or create a new character at a lower level anyway. At lower levels, the most popular choice is reincarnation since it is a lot cheaper than even raise...

    JollyDoc's Shackled City: FINAL POST [Updated 11/2!!]

    Well, you almost got the name right. Just call me Brain for short. :D Anyway, I'd like to take this opportunity to praise you for the great work you and JollyDoc are doing on this story hour. I've been lurking along for quite a while to see how your game compared to the one I'm running, and...

    "How will I lose my paladinhood this time?" Classic. :D

    How did that happen?

    I have used this tactic numerous times, especially in my PBEM games in which a simple slip of tongue or a seemingly random occurence sends the players into a flurry of posting conspiracy theories about what's really going on. Many times their ideas are actually better than what I had planned...

    Not to mention raising the ire of a few new enemies. :)

    DM Brainiac's Prison of the Firebringer (Updated 12/21/05)

    Well, I've kept you waiting long enough. :D Chapter 11 Rumar Destare sat cross-legged on the floor of his room, still clad in his full plate armor. Sigils and holy symbols decorated virtually every available space of metal, no two of which appeared to be alike. His two large, pearly-white...

    JollyDoc's Shackled City: FINAL POST [Updated 11/2!!]

    That is quite funny. In my group, Alakast has become the favored weapon of the party's rogue; he used it to great effect against Nabthatoron, Kaurophon, and all manner of evil outsiders. Improved Two-Weapon Fighting coupled with an evil outsider bane double weapon plus Improved Sneak Attack =...

    As a player/DM do you prefer one powerful monster or many weaker ones?

    While it is certainly easier to run a single powerful monster against a party, you run the risk of it actually not lasting very long at all. Especially at higher levels with all those save or die spells flying back and forth, it only takes one poor roll for the monster to go down without much...

    Lords of Oblivion? [Possible Spoilers]

    Erik, Running the Shackled City adventure path has ranked among some of my favorite D&D experiences of all time. It has been one of the most cohesive and innovative campaigns I have run in a long time, and both my players and I are constantly surprised by the interesting twists the story...

    Lords of Oblivion? [Possible Spoilers]

    Embril is not back yet...thought that she'd be at least a bit involved in Lords of Oblivion judging from a few sentences at the end of Soul Pillars. Ah well, I guess they'll save at least one of the BBEG's for later. Claiming to be Adimarchus, eh? Ha! I can't wait to see where that goes...

    DM Brainiac's Prison of the Firebringer (Updated 12/21/05)

    Pelwrath, while I do appreciate the bump, you don't really need to post one until after the thread has slipped to the second page. That's when you need to send it back to the top to attract more readers. I've got Chapter 11 all typed up and ready to go, but I'll give you guys some time for...

    Lords of Oblivion? [Possible Spoilers]

    Wow, thanks a lot Simplicity! Unfortunately, now this only heightens my anticipation until I receive the magazine. Basically from how I understood it, the Soul Pillars were what the Cagewrights used to figure out that they needed the Shackleborn to complete their ritual. The PCs are able to...

    DM Brainiac's Prison of the Firebringer (Updated 12/21/05)

    I'm doing my best to watch out for tense slips, but a few always manage to sneak by. I am converting the story from messageboard posts, and the posts are written in present tense, so I have to change all of the verbs to past tense. I catch most of them, but I apologize for those I miss. I'll...

    Lords of Oblivion? [Possible Spoilers]

    This is a question for those of you who have received Dungeon #111 already. Can any of you give me a general idea of what happens in "Lords of Oblivion," the latest installment of the Shackled City Adventure Path? As a subscriber, I haven't received the issue yet, and I don't know anything...

    DM Brainiac's Prison of the Firebringer (Updated 12/21/05)

    Good things are worth waiting for. This one took me awhile, but it was fun to write. Chapter 10 “I must say, Allanon, you make a most attractive woman,” said Grundar, chuckling. "Well, don't get used to it Grundar,” Allanon replied haughtily. “I'm not planning on staying this way...despite...

    Friendly neighborhood *bump*. ;) Okay, so I haven't had much time lately to work on the story. But I assure you something will be up by the end of the week.
