    Undead Monster Brainstorm

    Checked spellfire rules and they tie the amount stored to Constitution, not possible for undead. I am already including the prospective undead must make both his armor and his weapon (Craft is Int based) so to prevent further MAD Str/Dex or Int should become the limiter. I am inclined to make it...

    Undead Monster Brainstorm

    I've seen the Spellfire rules many years ago but forget which book they were in (maybe more than one, my mind says maybe updated?). Should his vulnerability be a real vulnerability as in more than normal damage from normal weapons?

    Undead Monster Brainstorm

    Ok, I really like the Videodrome reference. Bone blade, nice, can't be disarmed or released nice, [also can't harm the thief as it is made from the thief's own thighbone as part of the ceremony to become this undead]. Gives wielder +10 to Climb, Hide, Jump, and Move Silently. I'm not too sure...

    Undead Monster Brainstorm

    Morphile Thank you, that was exactly what I was looking for. I can build the template myself. Any ideas on special abilities as opposed to the lich's paralyze for life ability? Grogg of the North Non-published material only. I want to surprise my players. Of course all three undead will not...

    Undead Monster Brainstorm

    My first thoughts are these: a wisp of smoke that forms into a robed skeleton armed with a black blade that drips a sizzling green goo constantly; mainly assassins, but also rogues, bards, and monks that used a dark ritual to trade its life for shadowstuff and undeath. Requires an expensive...

    Undead Monster Brainstorm

    In my newest campaign, I plan to center the theme around undead and the different chosen paths (as opposed to forced paths) to undeath. There is a god of undeath who has three paths to undeath. Lich, or the intelligent/wise path already exists. And all need to be of that power level. The other...

    Jasper, It was a relief to finally get away from the duke’s cloying port as well as the duke’s slick and oily appointed investigators. A scant sennight later found us anchored off a small island with no apparent dock or even sign of civilization. We took the longboat to the shore where a small...

    good Alter Self forms

    Simple question. I answered it. Then you put restrictions on it. Maybe the restrictions were implied but they were not stated. Hmmm, you didn't even mention the duergar, because his psi-like ability would not be gained when changing into a duergar; but a PC duergar would retain the expansion...

    good Alter Self forms

    Other than werebear, bear or hybrid form or weretiger, tiger or hybrid form and a psionic duergar using expansion I don't know of any. It seems, though I am unsure if it is stated anywhere, that Humanoids cut off at Medium size and Giant type takes over for larger sizes. I am sure there are...

    A trap on a book

    The book and key are specially prepared. The key is both physical and magical. The book contains a portable hole-like space, only big enough for one person (adjusts to size of victim, but impervious to pointy things from the inside). If the book is unlocked and opened without the key, the...

    Pages from the Royal Chef's Cookbook

    Jasper Several things have come into focus once I arrived at Port Royal (or so our esteemed Duke calls it). The duke has spent a fortune building this port alone, staffing it with a complement of troops, multiple venders, a fully stocked smithy and stables, and even a decent-sized keep. The port...

    Jasper, The Earl of Eastwich, Shield Lord of the Northern Realms, handed over these pages. He only asked for a larger garrison of the king’s troops to help patrol the eastern frontier. I assured him that I would relay the request along with his personal message to his majesty with no delay. He...

    But whether the "weight no longer held" hits its target or not should be resolved with a die roll, meaning skill. Otherwise dropping things on character's heads would become the go-to tactic of all monsters. "No, I don't have to roll because he is right below me, why did we have to learn how to...
