Nor do I. I just wish that every time there was a piece of FR news or even a FR topic that the haters wouldn't come back and tell us all over again why they hate FR so much. The WotC FR forums are basically unusable because of this. I typically avoid any FR-related threads here, too, because...

Fantastic: That's a great group of writers! (I also hope we see a decent map or maps to make up for the bum-wipe version that came with the FRCG. We need either Mike Schley or Sean McDonald.)

Nope, it's not there. (I also searched spelling it correctly as one word. That didn't work, either.) I suspect that's because it was never "officially" published.

Thanks for replying, Jan. So it's the same as For Duty & Deity? Does this mean the she has only been imprisoned once in your campaign or is this the second time? (I'm just asking because I'm trying to come up with an idea as to how Graz'zt captured her twice IMC. I cannot think of anything so...

I've never thought of doing this as a way to teach players to use more tactics but it's a great idea! Besides action points in my games, I used "re-roll" points. (Most of the time I call them "luck points"). Basically, you can re-roll any d20 or damage roll at the cost of one luck point...

Thanks for posting that, jan. Can I ask? How did Graz'zt imprison Waukeen again in your campaign?

OK, maybe if I asked: what allies would this NPC be fighting alongside? That's actually why I asked about marking: I was thinking he might be playing a defender-like role for the group that he will be encountered with. Check out Aegeri's re-crafting of the purple worm feel more like a purple...

I can't give you more XP but I just wanted to say how much I like your purple worm. You've made the purple worm into a proper solo monster and you have also highlighted how well-designed and well-chosen powers can make a 4E fight feel "realistic": your purple worm would play as one would imagine...

As I'm also preparing a Graz'zt-related campaign I am always looking for more ideas. Are you prepared to post some of your plots and other ideas? Thanks in advance if you can.

Basically, for NPCs that are elites I give them their encounter powers as recharge 5 powers and their daily powers as encounter powers. It's just the way I prefer to create NPCs. I made Tempest's Shift and Tempest's Step from scratch after I made him into a skirmisher. I just wanted a really...

You're welcome. It was a good excuse to play around with the monster builder after the upgrade. I've changed him to a skirmisher now and added in a couple of more powers that I feel suit him better. I've attached my updated version in case you're interested. (He actually is perfect for an...

The DMG explains it fairly well. Personally, I treat NPCs the same as a I treat monsters and I use the Monster Builder to put them together. As a start, I've set him up as a level 6 elite soldier but I think he should probably be a skirmisher. Essentially, I reduced his powers to those that I...

I think 3.5E got it just right. The flavour was excellent and the penalty for not having the correct weapon wasn't too punishing. If I ever played 1E or 2E again one of the things I would remove would be the "+x or better to hit" mechanic. I really dislike it.

Do you have the 2E adventure For Duty & Deity? It is set in Graz'zt's realm so should provide you with some good ideas. You can download it for free and also legally from the WotC website. From the art gallery, it would also appear that there might be some lore supporting Graz'zt's realm in the...

It might be worth having a look at the original "cut" of the Epic rules as presented in the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting. I seem to recall that a lot of people preferred that simpler version to the ELH.

That's my experience as well. In some ways I have more time available to me than when I was in high school, and certainly more than when I was working during the day and going to uni three nights a week when I first left high school, but getting my blocks of free time to coincide with that of...

It's not a wipe: he scrapes.

Psionic warrior was never the class name: it was psychic warrior. (C'mon, folks, we're D&D fans: where's the OCD-level of attention to detail? :) )
