Session 16: Revelations Session Summary: Erik moved to bind and search the unconscious shadowy figure as Tok moved slowly toward the church’s entrance. Meanwhile Thornt called Wilheim aside and the two of them commenced a ritual that would send Gale’s canary to RHC headquarters for help. Erik...

Someone has to hold the the torch, lantern or sunrod. Seriously. I've lost count of the number of times my players have looked blankly at each other when I ask who's holding (or has a spare hand for) the light source...

What's the benefit of that? Why not just wield a rapier and a light shield with Weapon Focus? You'd have the same damage, AC and Reflex but a spare feat. Of course, a tempest fighter would change things, but we're not talking about a tempest fighter.

After all the drama of last session, a healthy payoff for the PCs this session. Full report to come in due course, but for now I'll just say this: "What's the best way to confirm a suspicion? Have the changeling impersonate MacBannin and wake an unconscious Creed".

Session 15: Old Faith Session Summary: One of the attackers gestured with his wooden orb, and the sunrod Wilheim held aloft instantly filled with darkness, then exploded in a flash of searing cold. In the sudden confusion, Tok stuffed the recovered documents into his clothing and Erik...

Ah, so that's who you were calling an idiot :)

I've been thinking more about my Zodiac killer sidequest, and am thinking about timing each of the killings to align with a time when the associated plane is strong. For example, Jiese is "particularly strong" when the PCs climb Cauldron Hill in adventure two, making it a perfect time for the...

This thread probably has your answer, but I'm not sure if you've changed your method since the AP started. If you're interested in a more mathematical look at it, the attached spreadsheet has numbers up to level 8/9 for: Item value GP per party per level GP per PC per level (assuming 5 PCs)...

I wouldn't be disappointed by this if I were you. I think it's one of the best things about the adventure: that the PCs can take different paths and still arrive at a successful conclusion without it feeling anything like a railroad. It might be frustrating from a writing sense (write 4 plots...

I don't think WotC do them any more. This is akin to the Abyssal Plague international event from (last year?), a series of themed releases at the same time. More of a marketing campaign than a D&D campaign, really. Not that I disapprove, but I understand your confusion.

The quick play pdf sounds like a good idea. Can't offer any feedback on the naval rules because my players aren't up to that stage yet (and in fact look like missing the smuggling subplot in Adventure 2 altogether).

The dirigible sounds like a story Rock Rackus would tell. Are you planning to combine the two characters?

The ranger interrupt that imposes -8 to hit can very easily turn a crit into a plain hit. Disruptive strike, I think it is. But except for such powers, non-crit natural 20s are indeed very rare.

Hit points is an odd one because it's inherent to the hp system that they stack. Bonus attacks stand alone as far as I can tell. Everything else is trigger X causes bonus/penalty Y. When it comes to bonuses, the + and the - imply stacking, but I can't see anything that implies 'stacking' for...

The conversation seems to have moved to a discussion of consecutive basic attacks from consecutive fritz, which is a different question to the OP's. On the original question, my view is that neither the item nor the feat specify that the free attacks are stackable. IMO, the mere fact that you...

10 to 15kg, yeah. I might have overestimated a little (the informant was a lower-class thespian after all), but I figured that a race with an average height of 6'5, an average weight of 123kg, a metabolism that creates fire/lightning/acid etc and teeth that appear to all be incisors probably get...

Session 13: Twin Dragons Almost as soon as the manor’s guards allowed RT3 through the gates, the constables found themselves surrounded by armed and armoured Risuri soldiers. Their leader, Lieutenant Dale of the 4th Regiment, stepped forward and demanded to know why the investigators had been...
