    Steel Shadows: a cleric, a juggernaught, and a girl walk into a bar

    To recap: Someone is killing Warforged. Two locations were mentioned: the Cannith forgehold (with the bodies), and the Tain foundry (where they all worked). You have a clue: a link of gold chain. Morning lumbers over the horizon, or it would if you could see the sun. It's the start of...

    Steel Shadows: a cleric, a juggernaught, and a girl walk into a bar

    Seeker, Reason, and Melina look it over. After a few detects, they decide that sometimes a gold chain link is just that - a gold chain link. Probably from a larger piece and designed to be decorative. Is there anything else that you three want to do before morning?

    Steel Shadows: a cleric, a juggernaught, and a girl walk into a bar

    There is not much to be seen at the crime site; or, rather, too much. As you look around, passers-by stop to rubberneck before being shooed away by Reason. After about two hours of searching, Melina spots the glitter of gold in a crack low on one wall. Something managed to get kicked into a...

    Steel Shadows: a cleric, a juggernaught, and a girl walk into a bar

    It's a walk of a few minutes to get to the alley where Leatherneck was found. The directions Ash gave you were clear, and nobody troubles you along the way. Unfortunately, the mouth of the alley also looks to be relatively frequently travelled; a casual scan doesn't produce much in the way of...

    Steel Shadows: a cleric, a juggernaught, and a girl walk into a bar

    Shadowblack bounces off Reason's armored chest. So, you're one of them, are you? That's a loss. Looks like you know how to handle that sword of yours. Well, if you ever come to your senses look me up. Or any of my brothers. And let that meatsack know that as long as she stays out of my way...

    Steel Shadows: a cleric, a juggernaught, and a girl walk into a bar

    The warforged looks down, obviously completely disarmed by this (apparently) seventeen-year-old-girl. His left arm was crushed by some heavy weight. "Lass, I hate to break it to you, but we don't work the same way you do. Your bandages and such don't work on us. The only thing that does is that...

    Steel Shadows: a cleric, a juggernaught, and a girl walk into a bar

    Easiest thing to do is to ask a string of questions in-character, and I can cut and paste (and use colors to make it obvious who is who). Warforged bodies do not rot, so any that are in decent shape could be a target for Speak with Dead. See below, though - the bodies aren't here. Where did...

    Steel Shadows: a cleric, a juggernaught, and a girl walk into a bar

    To Blackbones it is! The industry of Sharn is buried beneath the ground. Vast foundries and forges tap into lava flows that rise up from the depths, and tanneries, slaughterhouses, and other unsavory trades are hidden in the labyrinth that lies beneath the city. The heat is oppressive, the air...

    Steel Shadows: a cleric, a juggernaught, and a girl walk into a bar

    This thread is for the Steel Shadows adventure, as played in by Seeker (warforged cleric/9), Reason (warforged juggernaught/9) and Melina (changeling sorceress/9). The adventure begins... Two warforged wait in a room furnished with cast-offs and non-wood improvisations, reinforced or...

    Has D&D become too...D&Dish?

    I think the idea of purchasing any magic item is linked to the newer, faster-paced modules that are coming out. When a character goes up a level or two within a short span of time, there isn't time to custom-craft items. At that point, the GM either says "no, you can't have it" (which is...

    Sneak Attack vs. DR

    To me it's pretty easy. Do you want people to play a rogue or not? There are two ways to 'penetrate' DR. Either with the correct weapon, or with a lot of damage. So the combat types have ways of getting lots of damage: power attack, and sneak attack. Power attack is useable all the time, but...

    Has D&D become less about the adventure?

    The game is about having fun around the table. Seriously. Until recently, we ran two campaigns. People vastly preferred Campaign A over Campaign B. It wasn't because the GM was better in A, or the adventure, or anything like that. It's because Campaign B was "fight, kill, fight, kill" and...

    Help me make a cowboy.

    Derail away! But before you do... The Talenta Boomerangs are wonderful weapons, especially if you have access to Races of Eberron, where there are a couple of extra combat feats. Lovely, lovely stuff. Also, that gives you an 'in' to Master Thrower. Also, if you don't want ranger... Google...

    This Weekend at the Boxoffice: 2006.06.18

    Cars was awesome. Critics had disliked the fact that they could predict the plot, but _man_ was the ride there great. Also -- stay through the credits.

    JollyDoc's Age of Worms (Updated 11/30, Epilogue!)

    I'm looking forward to this. Just had our first two character deaths today... and in a side quest, no less. Ogre mage with greataxe. 3d6 + 11 damage. Two crits... and two of the squishies had just gotten into range. "I have 32 hit points. You're rolling 9d6 + 33. Let's see how negative we get!"

    Eberron: DM needs help for side quest

    I don't know if you like using Dungeon modules, but issue 135 had an adventure based around infiltrating a prison and getting someone out - it would be easy enough to rejigger it to be "infiltrate the prison and kill someone". Especially if that someone was infiltrating the prison in turn...

    Whirlwind Attack with touch spells?

    No, actually, that brings them back from the dead, but only if used during a rainstorm and you yell "IT'S ALIVE!!!!" loud enough. I see no reason why WW Attack can't be used with touch spells, but it must be a multi-use touch spell. As another example, the Duskblade class in the PHB2 gets...
