My players realized the pun, I did not -_-

Checked in the text, it's in the "Smuggler's night", second paragraph, citing: The Crisillyiri will hand over three crates of magic wands, and the local smugglers will pay them with a case of gold worth 10,000 gp, plus stack of bills of mark worth a total of one hundred and fifty thousand gold...

I can't load my copy right now, but from memory the money is in form of small casket of solid gold, retrieved from some shipwreck by Beshela and given to Gale, then passed to Nilasa. It's likely already in the cargo hold of local ship, perhaps loaded with irrelevant heavy-looking things to mask...

Well, of course she got the planar energy on her, she was there when the portal to Apet opened. It's not a damning evidence by itself. The question of how much exactly in control is she, or how much Sighjen's consciousness merged with her may be open, if you want for some reason turn her a...

The way it is framed, Xambria looks not as a suspect, but as a victim, who barely escaped Sidhjen in Flint. I guess, your players are not convicted? In my game, Sidhjen was very wary of constables due to party psion beeing able to sense something in Xambria consciousness. The way it actually...

I apologize for taking my time to answer all who posted, be assured that I read all the answers. I just want to restate that I was afraid mostly not of the player breaking the game, but that his supersenses will trivialize some parts of it and make it boring. I've gained many ideas how to...

Oops, my bad, it's Sorcerous Vision.

It's not a power, it's a feat, Arcane Vision. EDIT: also, what you propose basically sums up to a lot of flustration for the player, which wouldn't be there if he wasn't so good at the skill he wanted to be good at. This is exactly what I'd like to avoid

Not sure, perhaps making it a group check and decreasing difficulty a bit would help, but I haven't tested this.

In my experience, unfortunately, Prestige system kinda falls apart mid-heroic due to at least one player having enough Diplomacy bonus to overcome any and all penalties for extra favors per day and/or level of said favor. It's a neat way to track the group "importance" in addition to just their...

Sorry, didn't have time to reply to all the posts, we're having a bit of a break in our play either way. Some technical replies: Never said he would. You're forgetting +2 from familiar (actually, not a Coure Attendant yet, but another one with Arcana bonus) A bit of leeway on my side, I...

You're actually quite reassuring :D I admit that I've been neglecting SC a bit, I'll reread that section of RC.

This is an interesting take, thanks! Also, here's his build, for your curiosity: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5F8v4MM-paoZkZIQ0NzYkpqQjQ/view?usp=sharing

He's using Arcana in place of Dimplomacy/Intimidate when interacting with non-natural creatures (Binding mastery, with +2 check), in place of Insight/Perception as I said, once per encounter in place of Stealth (Chameleon's Mask) or in place of Bluff/Intimidate/Diplomacy (Arcane Mutterings). He...

Thanks for all the replies! Implementing all the advice won't be trivial, but I think I'll manage at least some of them. I think my main problem is that I need to change the results of successful checks a bit, but without making it tiresome or irritating for the player. Exaggerating, instead of...

Ryan semi-confirmed that WotBS occurs (or maybe occurs) in the same world as Zeitgeist, which is isolated from the usual multiverse (and I just sent my players hunting trillith beneath Flint...), and as far as I checked the original campaign, no obvious divine interventions are needed there.

...perhaps my English is worse than I thought or I just didn't clarify this enough: I certainly don't want to force the adventure into a set of predetermined scenes, which now do not work because of autosuccessful checks. But just removing (e.g. autosucceeding every check) the whole mechanic of...

One of my players made Sherlock Holmes-like PC, eladrin artificier (and yes, he's playing violin). He has heavily invested in Arcana-boosting options, and today, starting paragon, finally unveiled the combo he was building: by taking Arcana prodigy feat (sorcerer multiclass) and then Sorcerous...

I think I made her a bit too invincible with both bonus to defenses from Shield of Lies and penalty to attacks from Demonic Presence, especially since the party is only lvl 25. On the other hand, my own game is only entering paragon, and I have no idea of what epic level characters are capable of...
