The Trappings of Death The last type of dark secret that Nethrancor will trade and only to undead creatures consists of recipes for magic items associated with death, undeath, and necromancy. These are further categorized as common items (those listed in the Core Rules) and special items (those...

I would say the polymorph any object spell is ended and replaced by the alter self spell. It doesn't wait until it can affect you again even though it is permanent (preeminent?) It is ended and replaced by the next polymorph effect, alter self is a polymorph effect as evidenced by the reference...

So every spell that exists, exists in as many versions as there are combinations of metamagic feats? A maximized, empowered, cold, fireball wouldn't be stopped by greater spell immunity because it is different from the fireball chosen. Essentially, the number of spells in the campaign grows to...

I agree with Greenfield, metamagic feats do not transfer to the spellbook with the spell. And learning spells does not include metamagic feats.

Had one in one of my games. It was magical. Its magic allowed it to seek out and attack (repeatedly, 5 attacks per round, on its own) any male within 5 feet. It sought out a certain body part and attacked it until the male was not within 5 feet. It was made by a female mage that had been...

I think the spell copied into the spellbook would be the original spell without metamagic effects; that is, the iceball would be lost; but the mage would now have a copy of fireball in his book that he could metamagic in any way available to him when he memorizes it. Now Sorcerers gaining a new...

Alternatively, you could use Ride-By Attack and Improved Disarm to grab an item from the hand(s) of a wandering nobleman or mage.

Just a thought, but a powerful positive area created by a god could not only be hallowed ground, but also cause a spontaneous resurrection of one of the god's most powerful mortal allies in time of need. Not someone well-versed in today's problems or why he was even resurrected. But he knows he...

If such is true about negative energy building in an area, so too should positive energy in certain places; suppose if an area were subjected to multiple resurrections, could not a spontaneous resurrection also happen?

Note: All the following is made up and does not follow any rules I know of. Hallowed ground usually prevents animation as undead. Ground can also be un"hallowed" (not the spell, though the unhallow spell could work to dispel such an effect if the effect is magical) un"hallowing" requires...

Wow, there was a published adventure that used the same storyline? I guess great minds think alike.

I used an ancient ruined tower for a campaign adventure/camp for the party. The tower, though with holes in the walls and the top layer missing, was still inhabitable and became the party's home base as they explored it. It seems the wizard was trying to build a multidimensional fortress and the...

Scrabblings from the Graveyard Next are the rituals that Nethrancor makes available to his undead allies. Agreeing to become a lich or other intelligent undead is the first requirement to become an ally of the Keeper of the Core. Once undead, a simple service can be traded for more secrets such...

V. Soul Weapon Ritual An integral part of becoming a soulless knight is creating a soul weapon in which the character stores his essence. As a rule, the only way to get rid of a soulless knight for sure is to destroy its soul weapon. Unless its soul weapon is destroyed, a soulless knight...

Just an observation, but why do Chaos clerics gain 4 major powers while most others only gain 2? I understand making it fun to play but what did the other types of clerics get instead of those 2 extra powers? I suggest adding a power called "Bolster X" to each of the alignments except Chaos...

The next two rituals are mostly written by and special thanks to Morphile and Dannyalcatrez. Also special thanks to Grogg of the North: I disdained your suggestion originally, but kept coming back to it again and again later. IV. Sealed Shadow Ritual Shadowy assassins are the remains of greedy...

III. Mummy Lord Ritual The process of becoming a mummy lord is unspeakably evil and is usually undertaken only by a willing character. A mummy lord retains all class abilities it had in life and this ritual is usually reserved for only the most devout of Nethrancor's worshipers. Alternatively...

II. Ritual of Lichdom* The ritual for becoming a lich is described in the Core Rules; making it both the best known of Nethrancor's rituals and the easiest to obtain without going through The Death Father [It can be researched for time and cost as if it were an 8th level spell]. Prerequisites...

Rituals Rituals are the second kind of secret disseminated by Nethrancor, of which there are two categories. First are those rituals available to living creatures in exchange for a (deific-ability guaranteed) promise to become undead. These rituals are also available to undead creatures in...

Jasper, I apologize for taking so long to pen this letter, but circumstances prevented me from contacting you. The new captain is a slob and it took me a while to locate a candle; but I am getting ahead of myself. Let me start from the beginning. We left the island where we had received such a...
