77IM Dausuul aco175 Finally have all primary characters and alternate characters caught up to the same in game day. What happened? The halfling mage Pips ran to ArKay's camp crying and wailing. Arkay's men pushed and shoved her around a bit, knowing that she is the coward that always flees...

How about a bridge? Medieval London Bridge was a setting I used once for a campaign. Each pier with it's own factions and atmosphere.

For us it tends to be situational and is role played. A character risks death on behalf of the group but finds something, then that object is theirs. The group skips over the dead X but someone searches and finds something then it is theirs. Or like a necromonger they keep what they kill...

Malkizid he is a solar with interesting multiclasses :p

A little back story; a group of gnomes were mining in a border territory, or the gray elvish lord who recently claimed the lands after taking them from a dragon came across the cave/mine entrance while exploring his new territory. Who is to blame, the gnomes that attacked "trespassers" without...

How do your players like moral dilemmas? If one of the components needed is a heart of an unborn son. Do your players murder hobo expecting women to find a male to take his heart, or do they find an alternative such as grave robbing and taking from corpses of women who died during or before...

I would have it summon allies the same way a demon summons other demons.

The background of my game is hard and gritty. A combination of GoT and LotR. However being a West March sandbox there are often moments when the dice are put down and my players simply role play whatever they want. The halfling mage making friends with William Faulkner the city Falconer and...

I am reminded of Traveller with its roll 2d6.

I have encounters that are setting appropriate. However, the players do have the expectation of what kind of encounter they might face. Entering an area of hills where orcs live; expect to find orcs. Our campaign area if you imagine a triangle sectioned into three parts, the players are in one...

Rather than combat you could attempt to entrap the lord or lady with a binding contract. Be Iggwilv rather than a paladin.

A medusa who the party had to capture alive and turn over to someone they owed a debt to. Our halfling mage hated her the most as she turned her to stone, slipped a cursed ring on her finger, brought her back to flesh, questioned her and sent her off to suffer for nearly a month in game time...

In my game an arcane caster can cast any spell that he or she has the skill to cast. Illusions require the illusion spell skill. What the "slots" are used for at higher character levels are for scaling spells. We call these orders of magic. You begin at order 1 at first level and gain an order...

I came across this list, you might find it interesting. https://www.deviantart.com/whisperthewolfie/journal/Top-10-Mythical-Creatures-of-Winter-Ice-and-Snow-717911543

I start with constitution/health attribute X 10 at first level, then add the attribute every level after that. A character with con/health 10 would start with 100 hp and at level 10 have 190. With weapons skills which lower the critical hit range which cause 2x-5x damage, plus possible...

In my game players can play a dwarf, elf, faerie, gnome, halfling, human, or bugbear, giant (GoT inspired), goblin, hobgoblin, orc, ogre, or troll. A player can also play multiracial characters. I gave each race homelands where they are the majority. If you imagine an archery target being the...

Shadowrun 4e and The Dark Eye 4e use the same chargen system. This may be a place to use as an example.

I have played both a thief and an assassin both to level 17 and 18 respectively.

I have natural weapons as a special weapons skill that those who can shape shift can learn. It also applies to beasts, for, older more experienced beasts are deadlier foes compared to cubs and yearlings. If your players came across a band of carnivorous apes which would they target first, the...

Though not sporting one could bait an animal into a trap. An illusionary fragrance of something sweet, the sound of an animal in distress, the scent of an animal in heat all could be used.
