The way I run it, Sense Motive is sometimes a lie detector. In some cases, an NPC will directly lie in some statement. ("Did you see who stabbed Joe?" "No.") Depending on the situation, I think it's fair to say that a sense motive check will arouse suspicion. With any decent bluff check, it...

I created some new elemental-infused armor enchantments for my game (though they will probably only be in the hands of NPCs for a while yet). I hope you guys like them, I'm mostly interested in if you think the prices are balanced (They are mostly ad hoc, I looked at the cost of crafting...

Here's a few 13th mark hooks that I might use: --Though Vol carries the inactive mark of Death, it is too late to revive the mark; the mystical essence that creates dragonmarks of Death is no more. The draconic prophesy, however, demands a 13th dragonmark, and the imbalance threatens to...

Half-growling and half-shouting at the groylkyn that wounded him, Scathach utters a foul curse in the Elder language. "You will not live you regret your folly!" [Shout the threat at the Groylkyn #6, then attack #6. If it survives, give it the Hexblade's Curse as a free action]

(OOC: Sorry, I got sent out of town on short notice.) Scathach sees Argento's distress, and quickly leaps to his aid, hoping to confuse the monster by attacking it from both sides. [Charge into flanking position on Argento's groylkyn and attack]

Scathach, Sidhe Hexblade (OOC: I can't dish out much more than you, actually, Quazeem =D) Seeing that Quazeem is about to attack the wounded groylkyn, Scathach moves up to help him (Aid Another action to improve his attack roll).

I just thought I'd note that Arcane Strike is a free action, which plays a large part in its usefulness. A 9th level spell doing 100 damage or so is pretty standard, but it will usually take a standard action to toss that spell out. Combining a 100 damage 9th level spell with a 100 damage full...

Scathach (assumedly) sees nothing at the moment except for the cadre of dead warriors, and is relatively indecisive, for once. Sensing a hostile situation, he refrains from calling out; Sidhe blood matters little to the dark races. As silently as he can be, he moves out of sight from the...

I think this is said fairly often, but really not true. Sure, it has no save, but 5d6 does about 17 damage on average. At 7th level, that is the same as a non-critical hit from a barbarian. That is to say, a wizard's most powerful offense should probably have some upside compared to a single hit...

That's kind of a slanted situation. 10th level is the largest possible difference between Dispel Psionics and Dispel Magic. At lower levels, it can't be augmented fully, nor can it get the full +10. At higher levels, it's already capped and Greater Dispelling catches up. Back on topic, I don't...

Scathach also draws his sword and approaches the ravens (unkindness of ravens, or conspiracy of ravens?)

I thought this hook was rather mediocre, but my players ended up loving it and talking about it for years to come. The more proper members of the group were members of a merchant house, and they were contracted to transport some kind of valuable merchandise, but weren't allowed to know what it...

It seems that the best monster deaths so far will involve something much more dangerous than food pretending to be food. Mine was having the level 2 group poison an advanced Dire Wolf. Earlier in the adventure, the group had killed a some monstrous vermin and extracted a bunch of poison with a...

Scathach, Sidhe Hexblade Scathach nods at that comment, "Warlord Obermhal gave us little information, aside from the fact that he was unwilling to help. His new advisor, Brother Ishmael, arouses my curiosity. Obermhal is a proud warrior. I have seen his kind many times, and they are not the...

OOC: What happened to all the posters?

I think that it's absolutely unacceptable to kill a PC when that player isn't at the helm, unless the rest of the party is beaten in an absolutely overwhelming encounter also. There are tons of circumstances where either the DM or the absent player can write his character out of the story (or at...

Scathach, Sidhe Hexblade Smirking at the guard's comment, Scathach waits for the chamberlain to come to the door, and gives him a formal, courtly look. "Greetings, master Breckens. Your man here," gesturing to the smaller guard, "has indicated that the lord of the house is indisposed at the...

Relating to what's happening IC now... I'm trying not to be a spotlight hog for the scene I'm in at the moment. I'm wondering if my two companions are quiet because they're not around OOC, or if they just don't think it's appropriate for their characters to speak? If they're letting me be the...

You have the augmentation details a little messed up. First off, the cost you pay for the power is counted towards the same maximum as the augmentation. A 4th level power costs 7 power points, and a 10th level manifester can spend a maximum of 10 points per manifestation. The important part of...

Sorry to hijack your thread CC... Our circle is always looking for new folks who we might game with. We live in various places in OC, and have been playing in Costa Mesa lately. It's kind of a big and loose group, so we usually have more than one game with different DMs, players, and schedules...
