It's within your rights to set limits. If the npc's are making scrolls, where is the gold and the xp's coming from? Sounds like the pc should cough up at least the creation cost - but those xp's are a little more problematical, especially if the npc starts with the minimum experience for the...

In 3.0 that was true. In 3.5 the rules don't say one way or the other. In my game I started with the NPC option only, but to make my life easier I had the players do the homework and say how the classes were divided up amongst the followers - I didn't need the extra work and it was the players...

Like from a Silent Image or such? Then yes, the wall will conceal those on either side from each other from sight. Blindsight, tremorsense, and maybe blindsense should all see through the illusionary wall; but normal vision, low-light vision, and darkvision should all be fooled until the...

Book III is on it's way, as well as someone else's 3.0 Book II notes that I found on the net. Let me know how they work.

Hmmm. I just finished reading WoTC's Rules of the Game part 6 and Skip talks about this very subject. If you take the above definition, then the save is automatic if the character actually steps on the illusory spikes. As a DM I would 'grant' the character a reflex save to avoid stepping on...

Wizards 'Rules of the Game' part 5, deals with this in a roundabout way. At the bottom of the article it talks about 'Cubes' as related to the Area entry of a spell description. Essentially the cubes (or squares in this case I believe) have to share a side, corner or edge, and the spellcaster...

Last I saw, Leopold said Morrus had Book II, but I don't know what the hold-up is - I didn't work on that. Once I turned over Book III to Leopold I let my attention be distracted by other things that were pressing at the time. I know life was occurring for Leopold at that time too. If you...

At Sword House Again The forges of the Sword House ran hot the first week Kellron arrived back in Corlean. The paladin watched the priest-smith pray over his sword as they reworked the metal of the blade with both hammer and faith. The forge room was hot and smoky and the air was acrid with...

I voted Social Event and Other. Other: Playing a game and creating a story. When it's all done there's a tale to be told around the fire...

Or in this case "If it costs a lot of money, it must be worth it." :D

The Library The Corlean Library sits quietly three streets south-east of The Square; separated from the surrounding buildings by several well groomed lawns. The Corlean Library consists of three large buildings. The central building is three stories and made of brick and wood; formerly a...

Sword House !!TANG!! Ashimar’s slim rapier met the swing of the heavier Imperial longsword and sang out with a clear note as metal clashed with metal. Seemingly impossibly, the slighter rapier held. Ashimar grinned and settled back into a guard position as he allowed his opponent to...

I like it. Erratta, maps, pictures...If this content is the new standard, then Paizo's website has become a must-visit (at least once a month) for me. My only complaint would be that on a slow connection it would take awhile to download. Zipping it up doesn't appear to gain a whole lot though...

rangerjohn, thanks for the encouragement. I've been travelling a lot over the last six weeks and between that and not liking the first two drafts of anything I've written, I missed your post. It got to the point that I was avoiding the SH forum just so not to remind myself that I wasn't...

<snip> I don't know of any erratta yet, but Keith Baker is answering questions on the WoTC Eberron boards here. Also, the link above is where he starts answering some artificer questions (It's 40 pages). Other things to note is that unless specifically mentioned, that infusions follow...

I've had two players play paladins in my game over the years. They were both played differently (as alignment allowed) and the player's views on paladin-hood didn't always match mine. As a suggestion, work out with your DM your Code of Conduct and what that might mean in various situations...

Nice opening. I like it and hope to see more of it. :)

A Step Back in Time Just a quick step back in time to relate a scene that will soon become important. ---------- Some two months ago the arrival of five newcomers to the City of Corlean was remarked upon by a varied number of persons. It would be untruthful to say that there was nothing...

Just a short update. This is the second rewrite as I didn't like the first. It was all compounded by the new Eberron book and the Giants of Legends coming out. The behir rocks though - I wish I had had it ten months ago. :\

On the Road It was only a day since the four friends had left the svirfneblin community. They had made good time in the tunnels once past the orc caves, had opted to take the tunnel that exited near Kupier’s farm. The former scout, now farmer, was happy to see them this morning and had...
