Canon Arkonseptsis has made it his personal goal to wipe out magic in the world. He has left more than one subterranean city in ruins and at least one on the surface world. He mostly ignores non-magical opponents. Rumors of his existence abound nearly everywhere deep underground. Abundant...

Use this description of the elemental plane of entropy if you intend for it to be more than the description of some lost part of Limbo, the Negative Material plane, or some other plane. ELEMENTAL PLANE OF ENTROPY This is a dark, empty place, an eternal pit where a traveler can fall until the...

PART ONE Arkonseptsis Nemesis of Magic This tablet of the Draco Procreatio started with a long dissertation on the value of magic in order to describe the singular creature by the name of Arkonseptsis, who considers himself the antithesis of arcana. Painted as the opposite of magic; he lives...

ELDER DRAGONS An elder dragon is a type of dragon that predates written history and even most oral histories. There are whispers of legends that tell that they have always existed, even before the creation of the world. Early history of the world suggests that dragons ruled all. Nothing could...

Jasper, It was with heavy heart that I read that both the Epicurious and Eric are overdue back at the capitol. I was especially surprised to learn that the Grand Duchess had invited Eric to join her for tea in the castle gardens. My only suggestion is that you send her a missive informing her of...

I apologize for totally misreading your original post. So the party has come up with neither new tactics nor ideas for combatting the flying monkeys? Off the top of my head, rules of engagement: 1. Always look to equalize your opponent. Fog, smoke, darkness (unless opponents have darkvision)...

All the previous answers are strange answers from my prospective. It is an unwinnable encounter as you described it. Survival then should be the best possible result. Denying or cutting down experience for successfully thwarting the encounter (by actually living through it) should award normal...

Dumb but charismatic? I remember a half-ogre that was so big, dumb, and ugly it looked like he fell outta the ugly tree; hitting every branch on the way down. He made up for the actual fearsome features with an innocence and total belief that he was the smartest, wisest, most beautiful, and...

This is something I have been working on lately for another thread; but it seems appropriate here as well. It is my attempt to codify rituals that already exist in the game, but are mostly glossed over. This is but one type of ritual. Magic Item Recipe Unguent of Timelessness When applied to any...

Maybe I'm off base, but I think the idea of a bard being able to inspire more than one person at a time sounds like a bardic ability. I mean a 1st level cleric spell can do it to more people for a longer than just one use. I suggest keeping number of inspiration uses the same, but allowing the...

Oh yes, adding on further resistances and adding resistance to regeneration; those mean more in context. Is that what you really were asking?

I try to find a template that does that (and not much else if possible) and use the CR adjustments there. For instance: for CR, Fiendish Creature Template says: HD 3 or less, as base creature; HD 4 to 7, as base creature +1; HD 8 or more, as base creature +2. The template provides: cold and...

Number of gods is, I find, a personal choice. I have played in worlds with seemingly limitless number of gods (Forgotten Realms) or almost none (beginning Dragonlance or Dark Sun). As well as personal worlds that contained only 3 gods and only a dozen gods. That said, I tend to like my worlds...

I saw that as part of his normal aura. Magic absorbing additions to his power should be targeted only at one ally, allowing the effect to be more powerful and requiring an action to bestow an additional ability to an undead ally. Choice of abilities from a short list. Cost: say 1-4 spell...

I also find it unappealing to force him to use ready actions to absorb spell energy/magical energy. Personally I think it should be automatic and not require an action, leaving his actions for actual combat rather than spending them to prevent magic happening. I also think he should have some...
