IMO, rogue weapons or finesse weapons are more appropriate for Trickery domain. Good idea about the damage type. Psychic is both more appropriate and more effective than poison.

True, flavor (or lack thereof) is a valid consideration for build options. IMO things like dimensional travel are even worse than the pluses, because the ability is both common (multiple subraces and classes already do that) and weak.

Necro: I just posted a "5 least-favorite Epic Boons" poll as a book-end to this one.

The obvious (IMO) followup to this poll never happened, so now here it is. "While only a microscopic fraction of players are believed to be playing on post-20th level games, the chances are that (as long as you actually grabbed that DMG) you should have seen the epic boon list on page 232 of...

Some classes & builds have obvious "best" magic items to aspire to in the epic tier (17+). Arcane caster: Staff & Robe of magi. Melee paladin: Holy Avenger. Melee STR: Vorpal Sword, Hammer of Thunderbolts, Belt of Storm Giant Strength. Others have legendary items, but not epic & definitive...

... so I'm thinking about letting the events of 12.1 happen early, and revealing the split after the first long rest ("you wake up in Flint, from a crazy dream about worlds...") The first half of the Gyre would occur in parallel with chapter 11. What problems might I run into?

As the last barrel of whiskey goes into Father of Thunder's mouth from their airship, the paladin dives in after it to attack the titan from the inside.

Most of my game has been in-person with battlemaps drawn on a vinyl mat, with clear acryilic risers for elevated areas. This year is Roll20. My best so far is the Axis Island ritual site. Also, my world of Llanjyr is (initially) a flat disc with mountains along the rim (far away from the game...

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1a-xpf89-Gg527a0RzlxrH0GBOV2ocv-Z The Ancient icons are worn down with age and hard to read (which is still a 100% improvement, since the Ancients didn't have a written language). The Obscurati icons are freshly minted, but the Aspects are hidden with...

Way back in Chapter 1, instead of dying, Tanya, Letmas, and Burton just plain disappear during the purple planet event, while Seven Foot Dan is incapacitated for a couple days (drained to 2 strength by greater shadows). Dan takes a few months leave to search for clues. Late in Chapter 4, RHC...

BTW, one finicky peeve about the Gyre: I would literally pay money if I could edit the source books so the plane numbering went by logical hex distance rather than raw verticality. 01 02 03__ __05 04 06__ __08 09__...

Google Drawing (diagram) with names & numbers. If there are any inter-planetary bridges I didn't mark, let me know.

During chapters 8 & 9 my players spent many hours researching, interrogating, scouting, and planning, as well as convincing the militaries of Risur & Ber to help, so I let them get onto Axis Island a few hours ahead of Borne. The result was a crazy huge battle. I hope my players enjoyed it as...

I'm a fan of JMS, but... 1: He's lying; Crusade comes from SBY. They're even on a mission to save Earth from alien-inflicted illness. 2: He's a repeat offender. The monastery in DoFS isn't from Canticle, my ass. Also, Coaltongue is more similar to Yamato than to Excalibur.

A unique battleship, using new technology, from another land, to power a short-range, slow-charging, forward-fixed, but devastating weapon. Is there some other source material for that?

I'm horribly embarrassed for both myself and the entire EnWorld community that no one has mentioned SB Yamato (aka Star Blazers) until this moment.

@RangerWickett ok good, I didn't want to overwrite something important by mistake. @arkwright yes, that's exactly what I was thinking. I elaborated on my campaign world's history a bit, and one ancient god had a unique connection to Axis Island. @Morrus true true, but the party put a lot of...
