I see that you took OB's methods to heart

So... I just realized that I can use pictures of Khan Noonien Singh for pseudo-evil half-brother of Harkover in my campaign. This is unexpectedly awesome. The truth by technicality is the best Bluff.

With all due respect to Morrus... Boooo!

Well, now you only have to have to obtain a service of 15th level spellcaster, craft a high-quality dublicant body and pay 2500 gp to said spellcaster (4e prices and levels). Congratulations, you've just invented immortality for the richest. Alternatively, in the near future streets are flooded...

You know those moments in the anime when you see the character after a long period of training off-screen, and now his powerlevel is over 9000 and he can do new stuff, but still with the same signature technique? I need a bit of that for the best orc-and-elf duo. My party didn't attack Liya...

To add to what gideon said: I strongly recommend thinking about introducing healing surge costs into skill challenges to try and strain player resources a bit more, because otherwise the amount of battle healing in 4e can be overwhelming. Maybe not from the first session, but as soon as you get...

What is your goal? Typically, backgrounds introduce a single minor buff (+2 to skill or addition of a skill to the class list) and help the player to actually remember his backstory (there is a number of very potent exceptions, which I usually ban in my games). It's trivial to find a suitable...

There is a rumor in my campaign that is indefinitely in state of uncertainty because my players haven't got any time to verify it in full. At Ob convocation in adv.7 Nicodemus happened to mention that "whole southern Lanjyr is already controlled by dragons, and they're trying to spread their...

Re:vassal of Ekossigan - consider Copperhat the Headless, originally introduced in adv.6. He's described as a minion to the Voice of Rot, but fey titan's plans are multilayered. Maybe Copperhat is indebted to Ekossigan and tries to set him up for defeat, so he can be freed and fully available to...

Risuri natives and other people working with RHC for a long time are likely to know Primordial as bonus language. There are very few language barriers in AP: sign language for adv4 (unlikely to be known by anyone in the party), Draconic for some possibilities in Ber, probably Elven to speak more...

Well... Last night almost went too well. Wyvern rider dropped Dont-do-that to 0 hp within 2 turns despite being momentarily disarmed. She then rolled 9 and 1 on death saves while Iryth were failing the Medicine checks to stabilize her friend. All hail halfling Lucky trait, otherwise we'd have a...

In my campaign, Risur has weaponized Nem defense reaction from Sidjen planar ritual. A competent spellcaster only needs less than half an hour and a bit of spell reagents (with golden plate of variable size being the most expensive one) to potentially clear a whole city district from all...

And so, we're playing with Iryth, tiefling sorcerer with white dragon ancestry, whose family had a small shop in Gate Pass prior to their arrest as innate spellcasters, and Don't-do-that, halfling kensei monk with a backstory rolled from random tables. Now this land has the North Wind...

Sent you a message with Gdrive link. All credit to Siberys! I only removed his homebrew languages from .part files.

We've just started a discussion in our group on the topic of our campaign speed... At current pacing it'll take us approximately 12 years to reach lvl30 (middle of Diaspora, but only reaching lvl17 due to some reordering), so release of setting book will definitely motivate me to speed up a bit...

Thank you for your replies! We've built a monk+sorcerer duo and hope to start this Thursday. Some of the encounters collapse in this case, i.e. lantern archon has 28 hp by default and I'm supposed to remove 15 hp for each player below 4... I guess that's what's called "win-win situation" for...

Which system are you running? I can attest that requisition system can be completely broken from ~level 3 in 4e, if your players are willing. Be prepared for this or, better, speak to them about it and try to work out a balance which will satisfy everyone. Narratively... Remember that there's an...

My two friends finally persuaded me to DM for them and I wanted to run WotBS since forever. I'm already managing ZG 4e campaign with ~5 players, so I wanted to keep this side project to the minimum possible party, and most people I could invite as players would shy away from overnight sessions...

82. Recruiting a dog paladin into the world-saving party. Not a weredog, or a talking dog, or an "awakened animal" dog, just a fluffy st. Bernard with plate mail and fullblade in his mouth. A player joined for a single session, liked the atmosphere and decided to stay, so...
