IC Thread Known Ratcatchers With my shiny new Strongholds and Followers pdf from Matt Colville I am looking at running a game that puts the rules to use. I will be running the adventure that goes with it IRL but I doubt very much that I will get a chance to do much beyond what is in the book...

Round 2 Thateous, ready to engage notices an orc merge from the tent and looses an arrow that lands true. Nariah blasts at the nearest orc but doesn't land the shot. Illvilious lands a swift duo of blows on his attacker, leaving him staggering. Thateous attacks the orc again, finishing him...

Thateous I got a bit confused with your character sheet in the RG. I think you're a ranger, but your spell list shows Cleric/Warlock still. I also couldn't find your chosen fighting style mentioned - though it looks like you chose archery. Could you review the sheet and just clarify a few...

For me it is more an issue of professionalism. If I pay market price for a book I expect it to be properly edited for consistency. I only backed the pdf, even though I was tempted to get the actual book. If these sort of things are taken care of, I'd happily get the book. If not I'll stick...

Steve Gorak That could work. I think Rorik hearing of Gimlak would make more sense. The Wizards of Rowtil are something I made up for 97MG's world. The higher ups in the organisation were arrogant, snooty wizards who felt that they were better than others, so I don't see them playing nice...

Rorik The replies from the scraggly band were feisty, even threatening, but Rorik had surprised them in a dark cave. He watched as the big man upturned a bag of rocks - no not rocks, heads - dwarf heads. Well that was a good sign. He lowered his sword, taking a more defensive stance...

Perin Perin looks over the to approaching pair. "Well, if they're trouble we'll be having a bad day." He whispers to his companions. "Looks like there is no chance they will miss us, and if they aren't careful they'll give away our hide." Being careful to stay out of sight of the snake...

I quite appreciate the future proofing of the book, knowing that when/if I buy the next book the two will be easily compatible. Strongholds is entirely stand alone atm, as the rules he references can either be safely ignored or easily incorporated into your existing game. He is offering a...

Rorik Rorik heard the voices drifting down the cave, he closed the book and started wrapping it in its oil cloth when Welkin touched his arm. He cursed as Welkin doused the fire even as he knew it was a good idea not to give away their position. "Kobolds?" mouthed Wilken. Rorik shook his...

The adventure was a stretch goal of the Kickstarter. I think that Matt was trying to ensure the actual goal was reachable by splitting into two sections and underestimated his fan base. So he was kind of stuck making the adventure. I do see you point though, but I quite like the look of the...

Round 1 Seeing the others start to attack Errol sends a bolt sailing over the fence and intervening tents to catch one of the dozing orcs completely unaware. He lets out a spasm and lies there dead. A flash of energy from Nariah catches the other orc unawares, but isn't enough to kill him...

I didn't mean to imply you did not care at all about balance. My assumption was that if you gave anything, even a tiny bit, you would take something in return. Spell casters are generally considered among the most powerful classes in D&D (its certainly a lot closer in 5e than previous...

Just a rough outline map of the camp. I'll get the battle map up tomorrow when I have a busy day of watching a giant heater warm up NYC. It may not quite match the earlier description I gave, but I've tweaked it to bring you guys a bit closer together, otherwise I think Duran will either have...

I had (foolishly) made the assumption that you wanted to keep the game balance as is, so an increase in level 1 spell power would come from a decrease in cantrip power. From reading your other posts it seems that you are not so concerned with this.

Perin Perin scanned the valley for a suitable hide to watch the camp. "They might send out a patrol to see what happened to the ambush, other than that I think it will be blind luck weather they head towards or away from us." Perhaps a hide this side of the camp is best? Survival...

Round 0 Illvilious quietly moves around to the far side of the cages. As he gets closer, one of the prisoners notices you but is smart enough not to react. Although they clearly haven't been well cared for, none of them seem to show any signs of deliberate harm. You are currently on the far...

Rorik Brigward Fighter 1 The Wizards of Rowtil, self proclaimed defenders of the city, had long been a force within the political circles. They recruited talent from within the city and maintained order among those with magic. Young Rorik had long dreamed of joining the Mugus Martial, the...

Lol, I nearly did, then realsied there was still a few bits to add - like traits and possibly fluffing up the description a little
