    Bastion of Broken Souls Follow up and the Magic of Incarnum

    Currently: Graz'zt has one character. He's looking to siphon off the 'Spark' to try to transfer it off to his daughter. (a sort of For Duty and Deity plot redux) An ancient powerful red dragon has one character. She wants the spark for herself - mainly because the character she has captured...

    Best/Favorite rogue special ability

    Your character is a melee combatant. The thing that keeps you down as a weaker combatant than a straight fighter is not the 3 points of BAB that you are down, but the FEATS. Take a feat. Edit: Improved Evasion?!? People must be on the good drugs and not sharing. Any decent rogue is not...

    Magic of Incarnum... hmm...

    I've been working up to something much of the same, and recently asked for help on it here: http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=138566 Especially since running the Bastion of Broken Souls (my expanded version anyway) I've been looking at something like that.

    Bastion of Broken Souls Follow up and the Magic of Incarnum

    Doh! Missed this part the first time. Yeah, there are quite a number of characters who were there. The kidnappings have begun and one NPC has been captured, one simulacrum of a PC has been captured and one PC has been captured. Another PC has been attacked, but escaped. I have LOTS of room...

    Bastion of Broken Souls Follow up and the Magic of Incarnum

    There is a review of the Bastion of Broken Souls here. 'The Spark of Life' is a reward that the characters get at the end of the adventure - basically the equivient of being in a minor positive charged environment such as being in Asgard. Thanks. Resurrect a dead god has been done (and done...

    Bastion of Broken Souls Follow up and the Magic of Incarnum

    A while ago I ran the Bastion of Broken Souls. Now I didn't care for the adventure as it was a high level adventure designed in a very linear way, and the resolution to every question that the party had was combat, but the end of the adventure is memorable. Anyway. At the end the characters...

    <little question about> Psychic Characters

    This poll seems to be missing at least one if not more than one option. It seems that the majority of games include a relatively low number of psionic characters and I think that there is a fair range between "a few in our campaigns" and "Every other character"

    Funny PC names

    Funny names are bound to happen, I myself prefer it when a character earns a funny nickname, but over the years I've seen some amusing things. A few off the top of my head. Most of these are pre 3.x ed. An elven fighter/druid who kept 4 war dogs - Crockett, Tubbs, Switek and Zito An NPC...

    A rogue, a bard, a monk, and a ranger walk into a bar...

    I think your biggest problem is the 'Start at first level' part, which is to say that you may have some issues, but you don't really have that big of a problem. I play in a once a month game that isn't too far off from that. The players will either learn to deal and adapt OR the characters...

    "Anachronisms" in your game

    I really think you are caught up on semantics here. Weather you are talking about the Heron Marked blades from Wheel of time series, any of the medieval 'choppers' from the Maciejowski Bible or even the grossmessr (a germanic sword from around 1400+). All of these, including the katana, are...

    <Rant> Where has courtesy gone?

    It is a problem brought on by the increasingly corporate and service based economy that we live in. The squeeky wheel gets the greese. Businesses have taught their employees to reward customers rude behavior by by granting the jerk greater attention and service.

    What's your favorite Superhero movie?

    Well, good thing he isn't a "superhjero", but he is a SUPERHERO, and one of the earliest and best known. :D

    What's your favorite Superhero movie?

    Its a hard genre to make a movie for. A fair number of the movies on that list are good and were enjoyable, I like spectecle, and many of those movies were outstanding from that point of view. The Incredibles was not only funny, but provided an interesting idea of a world with superheros...

    Rolecall for the Dead - Bring out your dead!

    My "campaign" has been continuously run since 1980, but I'll only count the 3 current groups I actively run. Otto, Half-Ogre Fighter 5 - Slain in combat with a Lich. Animated as a large zombie by the lich in the same combat, then destroyed by a sun domain powered turn dead attempt....oh...

    Perfect Despot-Sorcerer Spell List

    The low level spells are fine, but some tweaking is needed for the higher level ones. 3rd - This is a magic poor populace with virtually no contact with others. The Dispel should go, possibly for an illusion or Fireball/Ligntning bolt. 4th - Nice choices 5th - Dominate is good, but this guy...

    EnWorlders at Origins?

    I will be there. However. Unless I'm running events (and I haven't run any Gen Con or Origins events in 8 or more years) I tend to avoid the rpgs and do mass abounts of board gaming.

    How do you like your steak prepared?

    Precisely. The chef's are getting mad for two reasons. 1. Chef school has taught them to frown upon "well done" - for no other reason than "its bad". 2. It throws of the grilling timing/is more difficult to do correctly. So basically because they are lazy and because of chef school...

    The adept class

    I'm not really concerned with the balance of classes for CRs, because the value of CRs is not a fixed thing - its is an estimation. What I was talking about was that when you have enough XPs to get a new level, using them to gain a level of ANY of the NPC classes is clearly a wasted level. Any...

    How do you like your steak prepared?

    No pink what-so-ever for me thanks, I try to avoid ordering beef when eating out as it is all too often undercooked for my taste. It is a poor cook indeed that cannot cook a piece of meat so that it is both juicy AND fully cooked. Squishy pink beef will make me gag, I cant get it down.

    The adept class

    Yeah, I'm "bothered" by the Adept, but in a number of completely different ways. 1. They are signifigantly weaker spell casters than any full casters in the game. 2. They loose ground on the other casters as they gain levels. 3. They are given nothing in the way of abilities to support their...
