    Shilsen's Eberron SH (Finished - The Last Word : 9/20/15)

    Passing through the wall gates that separate each tier from the other, they first enter the Terrace, home to the city’s professional warriors and to lower-rank spellcasters. This area seems full of shops and buildings dedicated to magical craftsmanship, with larger buildings where mages keep the...

    Shilsen's Eberron SH (Finished - The Last Word : 9/20/15)

    Okay, okay - now I'm feeling guilty. Here goes... * * * * * * * * * * The Guardian Angels appear on a rocky plain, with a large chain of mountains arising to the east. Looking around once the momentary disorientation of teleportation passes, they glimpse what looks like a large ruined town to...

    I almost cried...

    I get the bastard thing a fair bit, but I got a fun variant in a monthly Eberron game I'm running. I started that one because Rolzup, the DM for that group, needed to take a break from DMing. So in this session the PCs are in a gladiatorial contest, with all sorts of plans in hand for dealing...

    The Gas Chamber

    Grab your throat, scream, "Aaah! Failed save vs. Stinking Cloud!" and collapse on the ground. That may give him a hint ;)

    Help me build an encounter.

    Sorry I couldn't send you any stuff, but I got really busy with work and other things and totally forgot. But it sounds like you had a good time, freaked out the PCs and players, and achieved exactly what you wanted. Nicely done!

    Memorable Moments

    One I particularly remember is from my yet-to-be-paladin PC in Rolzup's campaign. Cedric ended up in a duel where he discovered that his enemy had kidnapped, tortured and mutilated his mentor. Barely surviving the duel and still badly wounded, Cedric rushes off to the warehouse where his mentor...

    Shilsen's Eberron SH (Finished - The Last Word : 9/20/15)

    And it came last session - big time :] Note to players: Don't spill the beans for the moment, please. I need to make carborundum wait a bit too :) Rackhir actually covered it very well above. I definitely second not trying to cover everything that everyone does every round (a mistake I used...

    Favored Enemy hypothetical

    It's not that big a stretch. Note that wildshaped druids don't get the special qualities of the form. So a druid wildshaped into a plant can be criticalled, for example. Which presumably shows that the druid has a similar but not exact anatomy to whatever it wildshaped into.

    Anyone else getting anti-4E spam?

    Smart man. And thanks for the story. All of my students know I play D&D and I even use my dice in class. They love it!

    Cloak of Minor Displacement & friendly spellcasting

    Nah, the miss chance never came up in the game when an ally tried to heal him. He's just fishing for sympathy :D

    Favored Enemy hypothetical

    No. If they're really orcs, he gets it, not otherwise. In fact, that would probably be one way he'd realize that they're not really orcs.

    Cloak of Minor Displacement & friendly spellcasting

    What? It just so happens that Gareth here is only MOSTLY dead. There's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Mostly dead is slightly alive.

    Shilsen's Eberron SH (Finished - The Last Word : 9/20/15)

    Shocked by the dragon’s offer, Gareth replies, “To be honest, we came here thinking that if we were to get any assistance it would be minimal, and only possible help against the forces of Xoriat. Perhaps in our dreams we, or at least I, had thought of other things – allies, training in lore of...

    Shilsen's Eberron SH (Finished - The Last Word : 9/20/15)

    Luna says, “Well, we are working on keeping the daelkyr and other aberrations from Xoriat from coming through into our world since it is no longer severed from our plane of existance. Unfortunately, the knowledge of how to seal the portals has been lost and so we were hoping someone here might...

    Shilsen's Eberron SH (Finished - The Last Word : 9/20/15)

    This is a very interesting day for Shalash and Ofarrn. The twin brothers are doing what they do on most afternoons, lazily riding the thermals high above the Vast. It is Shalash who first spots the intruders flashing over the edge of the precipice more than a dozen miles away, which descends to...

    Help me build an encounter.

    Since you mentioned me (unlike Hastur, you need to say my name just once ;)), I figured I should pop in. I don't have the MM5, so I can't really comment on the Ushemoi, but I saw them in some WotC Dungeon adventure/sidetrek and I remember some seemed pretty strong for the CR. Sahuagin are a...

    Anyone else getting anti-4E spam?

    Now that sounds like an intriguing story to me, especially since I'm a teacher. Care to expand on it?

    sudden persist feat

    The Arcane Disciple feat (Complete Divine) would do it, adding a domain's spells to your spell list. It is only for arcane casters, however.
