It was some species of zombified beholder. Dunno if it was actually a Death Tyrant. And I can hardly criticize other people for slowness in response. I mean, it'd been over a month since I last updated this, just because we hadn't played in so long. I probably won't update for two more...

Ah, the joys of fleeing for one’s life from what is probably a dragon, size unknown. Moreover, we’re likely to bring down a lot of wrath on the nice drow villagers we were trying to help, but any other course of action would have made our efforts for naught. I should pick up where I left off...

I was there for the Atlanta early screening on Thursday, with about twenty of my closest friends. ;) Holy cow. What a great movie! I laughed, I cried, it was better than Cats, I'll see it again and again. I spent most of this afternoon getting another of my friends addicted to Firefly. I...

There are spells like Healthful Rest (Complete Adventurer, p 151) that do exactly that. (Bard 1, Druid 1 incidentally.) Haven

In my campaign, you can teleport from anywhere to any place with a magic item called a teleport beacon. There is, however, no chance of failure. It is therefore useful as an escape spell and a long-distance travel spell, but it pretty much takes care of any danger of PCs teleporting into the...

The party, as of current writing: Teagen Allister d'Cannith, human male Wiz (Transmuter) 5 Gerron d'Tharashk, human male Brb3(?)/Rng2(?) or maybe 4/1, not sure Maeve ir'Bacct, human female Cleric (Cloistered, from UA) 5, of the Sovereign Host Fel, changeling 'male' (better than 50% of the time)...

Xen’drik is a lovely place, if you don’t mind rainstorms that you could set a water clock by, mosquitoes enough to choke a dragon, and ambushes from native tribes of lizardmen who hate anything not covered in scales. At least the elves have been friendly thus far. We arrived a few days ago in...

(OOC: I have Knowledge: history +3 and Knowledge: religion +3. Either of these help at all?) Tiberian steps up to the glowing icon uncertainly and peers at it for a minute or two. He scowls.

And once again, we’re off for a journey into gods-know-what. Five days after we got back to Sharn, the Dean called us into his office to send us far, far away. This time it’s Xen’drik. If we are successful, his story will at least confirm its own veracity. We had been in town for less than a...

In a couple of my campaigns, I've given out magic items with an additional pre-set Spell Known imbued into it. In each case it was a spell the character would not normally spend a precious Spell Known slot to purchase, but thematically appropriate to the character or the object in some way. I...

Once again calling on the name of Dol Arrah, Tiberian casts the same orison a second time, and then nods. "Ready enough, I suppose. Not that I've got a lot of magic left to spend. 'Twill have to do. Maybe I can avoid getting stabbed next time around." Another cure minor wounds spell brings...

I would suggest the lowly Darkmantle as your high-dex source of leather. It is a creature with both a good Dex score and a good natural armor bonus, and "darkmantle leather" sounds pretty cool to my ears. Haven

I voted Yes when this thread first appeared. I'm now getting around to commenting. Basically, I like this character not for whether or not he is a paladin - his god says yes, so yes it is - but because he deals with the most horrifying parts of his world, and has to find a way to live with...

Our journey home by skyship definitely qualifies as another significant brush with death. It has been awhile since I’ve had one of those – a week or two at least – and I have to say that I am sorry to see such a thing again. On the first day of the journey from Varna south to Sharn, lookouts...

Tiberian's breath is labored, and he spits out a lot of blood. "Wounded again, na' quite so bad. Dol Arrah, I beseech you, heal me." As his breathing and color improve slightly, Tiberian looks around for wounds on his companions and finds none. He grins raggedly. Cure Minor Wounds on self...

This is a problem that has been bothering me a great deal also. I'm just as tired of "having" to stat NPCs with chain shirts, breastplates, or full plate as I am of seeing PCs with only those kinds of armor. For a campaign that I hope to start later this month, I will be using the following...

*soundly thrashes Berandor* :p And Joshua Dyal is of course correct. I like this game! Haven

I cheat and include a whole paragraph. I'll go with this: "Armorica is next. The Land across the Sea. Beautiful Ynys Trebes, King Ban, Lancelot, Galahad, and Merlin. Dear Lord, what men they were, what days we had, what fights we gave and dreams we broke. In Armorica." Doubleplus points to...

The situation is grim for Tiberian, and he dispenses with the pleasantries. Snarling, he strikes at his attacker again, with a vicious cut at his enemy's midsection. 11 (d20 roll) +3 (attack bonus) +1 (action point) = 15. In the off chance that this is a hit, however, it deals 13 damage. Odi...

"I dun know what in the flaming hell you're lookin' for, but once I'm done with you it won't bleedin' matter!" Furious, Tiberian swings his halberd at this assailant, missing badly as he fails to account for the close quarters of the tunnel. Rolled a natural 1. Firk ding blast!
