Indeed. :D Other notes: Harkover isn't proficient in Arcana. I'm guessing his proficiency in Religion is an error? The adder-in-the-corpse trap was deftly avoided when King Lorcan tried to remote-bury the body with earthbending, and the presence of a hostile snake made that fail. Fire from...

Bonds of Forced Faith has gone well for both sides thus far. :D The group fell for Deliria and Languor's double bluff completely, taking the ritual with hardly a question. Deliria escaped. Lorcan's player (Sawney Chert, above) is absolutely loving the king powers and is going to miss them when...

I think mdusty has the deciding opinion here. A related thought: running BoFF after Dying Skyseer would spoil the PCs for the "protective ritual" Lang offers, whereas doing Skyseer second will make them paranoid about Nevard's proposal. :D If I can assemble the whole gang, I'll be running BoFF...

I'd like to know that too. ^.^ (Edit: I actually checked his website last week, but the "shop" header isn't a link.)

Actually, I've noticed that a lot of the elf portraits are more light brown? I think? I'm away from the books at the moment, I'll check later. (Edit: and I do mean elves, not eladrin.) I did come to the same conclusion about humans.

...since Bourne is about three times as tall as Cristo Redentor, does this make him Bigger Than Jesus? :D

...and I just looked up more details on Corcovado only to find out that it means "Hunchback" in Portuguese, so I'll call that a good guess? :D

I've been burning brain cells wondering how to properly get the atmosphere of Flint across. It's like Victorian London, but plopped down on the edge of the mountains of a subtropical rain forest, with one particularly tall peak right in the city center... ...then it finally hit me after like...

That part at least is simple: the horror-film teaser version of Roland has no background notes, and the main-plot version can be left out of the PC list.

Okay, thanks. I'll give it some more thought. One more question, if I may: in BoFF, Stanfield is listed as the Mayor of Flint rather than Governor. Is this a time before the city got so busy that every district had its own Mayor?

I've been puzzling over whether it would be best to run BoFF before IatAotW, or as an Arc flashback in Diaspora as suggested in a few places. The biggest problem (and it's not really big) I have with the former is the possibility of cluing the PCs into Harkover's secret right away (not...

A separate background question for RangerWickett: The 5e guide doesn't mention backgrounds giving boosts to Prestige, like Vekeshi and the Unseen Court. Is this a deliberate change?

We're waiting for IatAotW, of course, but preparations are underway. This is a Roll20 game, played on intermittent Sunday nights (it's tricky when the DM and half the players are in California and the other half are on the East Coast). Characters: Sawney Chert, a Spirit Medium aasimar bard...

In the 5e guide, it's just noted that 5e normally allows you to knock out a target with melee but only melee damage, hence my question.

Should the characters start with more than the 1st-to-5th-level standard equipment/cash? Edit: I'm considering letting the constables do non-lethal damage with almost anything, not just melee attacks, due to a combination of training and rituals. Would this break the plot?

Hmm. All good ideas. gideonpepys' version could be summed up as "always has advantage against designated villains," which would be simple enough, but I am leaning towards efreund's first alternative. I think I'd have to pass it by another of my players, who's a mathematician and better at...

So, pending the arrival of 5E Island at the Axis of the World, I've been introducing my players to the world of Zeitgeist and having them make characters. One of them will be a Heid Eschatol Sorcerer (white dragon blood), who's a little bit crazy -- she was technically a serial killer before...

Got it, read it, awesome... but Avilona has me confused, as it doesn't sync up with the previous campaign history as far as I can tell. Previously, the explanation for weakened flight was that Ob agents accidentally damaged the planar connection to Avilona by messing with the flying ziggurat...

Well, it is known that you can summon demons and angels from elsewhere, but they can't stay. Why are similar or identical creatures sometimes found here, but can't leave?

Got it, thanks. ...Now I'm wondering what the in-universe attempts to explain this are like, by the Clergy and others who don't know about the Seal?
