So while looking over the section on scrolls to figure out scroll costs, I noticed that it mentions that scrolls are "a heavy sheet of fine vellum or high-quality paper" and that it is "placed in a tube of ivory, jade, leather, metal, or wood". The CRB only says that the "writing vanishes from...

a. Thank you muchly, that's much better. b. I may use him in combat. Does the wiki have any preset tables for entering Familiar stats? Doing it all by hand seems daunting. c. Thank you again. d. And again. e. I haven't chosen anything yet but I'll take a look. I may just get scrolls for him to...

No problem. I may take a crack at attempting to assemble some groups of information information into non-hex entries, mainly with the gods and religions. As for the cuckoos, I was, embarrassingly enough, inspired by cuckoos from Ocarina of Time. In the Shrouded Lands lands cuckoos are large...

Canes Sanguis, the Templars Indivisible. (26.15) The ancient and much-feared Order of the Canes Sanguis is the greatest arm of the Priests-Militant of the Temple Indivisible in the Shuttered Lands. Famed for their blood-red armor, fully enclosing hounds-head shaped helms, and impressive...

Everdark (01.03) If one travels north along the cliffs from the Bitter Coast, one comes to a fog-shrouded place where the mountains drop precipitously into the sea. Here, the Road River flows out of a narrow mountain pass before cascading over the cliffs and into the ocean. If one were to...

Quick reminder that Harkoz is still waiting for approval.

The Glorious Reign of Doge Simone the Fowl (29.14) It happened in a certain year that in the City of Shuttered Windows an election for the Doge was held, following the death of the previous Doge, as was the rule. The top contender for the Doge’s coronet was Simone the Foul, a singularly...

Done. Moved the skill point to Know (local), added a skill bonus I forgot about, amended his background to reflect change in skills, removed artisan kit and adjusted weight and wealth in accordance.

Might as well sink the points into a useful skill then. Very well, I'll need to rework his background a tiny bit since there's a reference there, but otherwise so far so good.

I'm glad you like the Society! I kind of wanted to enhance the theme of Shuttered being a doomed city kept functioning only by the monumental efforts of its citizenry. And yes, they are designed to be pure adventure fodder, and a potential PC organization. The Crack Finders could be more...

No that is a mistake, technically, I did not realize it was fluffed to that extent. Before I change it, I will ask if craft skills can still be used to make passive income during downtime, like professions?

Submitting my first character. Stumbled a bit in setting things up but I think it should be mostly okay: Harkoz D'Vorza Let me know what needs to be fixed or changed.

Sealed Library (29.14) Constructed in the early days of the supremacy of the Temple Indivisible by the legendary traveling wizard-architect Vilenius Arkhaus, the Sealed Library is the heavily warded archive housed at the top of the Steeple, accessible only by the Matriarch and those she...

The Honorable Society of Engineers (29.14) Half guild, half civic institution, the Honorable Society of Engineers has been one of the greatest societies in the Shuttered City since the Sinking began. Originally a minor guild in the early days of the city, the Sinking of the City drastically...

The Devil's Bible (29.14) The Legend of the Devil's Bible, which is well known to occult scholars in the Shuttered City, is generally agreed to proceed thusly: A certain acolyte of the Temple Indivisible, having broken a sacred vow, had been condemned to live as a hermit in a bricked-up cell in...

Sure, all Pen and Papers will inevitably ship with broken rules, but if the publisher is respectable and competent they will have play-tested the rules and done a thorough job of sweeping most of them out. Under those circumstances, there should not be that many broken rules. House Rules happen...

Always Lawful Evil, when I can. I get what I want, without moral qualms to get in my way, and I do it in an orderly, meticulous, organized fashion. And you know what? It's always worked for me. Heh.

Nerf the problematic character. The character is the problem, the character needs to be changed, not your DMing style, not the game. When you're a DM you need to consider the good of the whole table. If you're throwing roided-up encounters at them just to challenge ONE player they're going to...

Weresharks, maybe? Therianthropy makes everything more exciting (and deadly).

Libramarian has a good point, because players are often detached from the actual events, the only way to get them invested is through serious detriments. Otherwise they'll fight hordes of zombies and nameless horrors from the abyss without so much as blinking. Level drain is one way. If they're...
