All I want for Christmas... ... Is the Aag! :D Really, what kind of creature is an Aag? Apparently it's a plague/bile-related type of undead. Is there anything more to tell? And what does the base creature look like?

This might not be applicable to your game, but if it is, here is what I think: You are going about this backwards, taking a big, powerful dragon in advantageous circumstances and asking for help to make it fair. But it shouldn't be fair. It certainly shouldn't be fair at the expense of good (or...

You're probably tired of me going on, but thanks for the epic constructs. I especially like the Swarm. The Omega Horror is rather higher-tech than I had thought possible, even for Master Control. I expected the Horrors to be more technomagical, with supernatural and spell-like powers rather than...

Thank you. Great stuff.

Is this a "Tomb of Horrors" style game? You know "see how far in you can get before you all die?" Or is there an expectation that the adventure will be completed? In the former case, I have a lot of ideas, but in the latter, more of a warning: Character deaths, especially repeated ones or many...

Shaffer, you are right in one thing: You can put anything in the Elemental Chaos that you could in the Elemental Planes. Probably even more, since it's the elemental *chaos* and you can throw everything together as you like it. But which you use is a mattter of cosmology and setting assumptions...

I was wondering, Jester: Master Control and his Clockwork Horrors have been enemies of the PCs for a LONG time, correct? But Clockwork Horrors by the book exist in rather small groups, only one of the most powerful kind exists and they can't advance in power. Obviously you disregarded that for...

Sometimes "Go write a book" is quite warranted, yes, as with the sewer example above. But not always. In my original post, it was meant as shorthand for the hostility sometimes (I suppose on reflection it's not as often as all that, but still noticeable.) displayed against plot-happy DMs. I'm...

If you want this, you pretty much have to make your own tools -there isn't much in the game that works this way. There are a few effects, however, and you should aim to get use of as many of them as you can. I second the recommendation of Permanency and Incarnum. They are probably the most...

It is a commonly expressed sentiment both on these boards and in the community at large that "If a DM wants to 'tell a story', he should get away from the screen and go write a book", or words to that effect. On reflection, though, I think that's really both rude and disingenious. Of course...

This thread fascinates me greatly. Is there any chance we might see the Shadowroot Bloom? I need it for my campaign. :)

This is really a no-brainer, unless you have a really strange campaign or you DM has banned it: Quicken Spell. You should have taken it 6 levels ago at the latest. It will nearly double your effectiveness in many fights and massively increase your tactical versatility. And you'll notice the...

I love the sound of your setting, and the tagline idea of "for every three, a hidden fourth". (Which obviously applies to these wizards, too, eh? :p) Actually I love it so much that I think I'll steal it. But I think your presentation of Dungeons, Monsters and Adventurers is a bit coy, a...

WOW. Looks like there's been a big jump in the power level of the adversaries? I mean, Vlaangelwhatsit was only CR 32, and he was a legitimate fight for the PCs outside Bile Mountain. Neither the Bile-Maulgoths, the Deathdrinkers nor the Axon/Axars were near this power level. And these show up...

Thanks a ton. Take your time, it's obvious that you have a lot on your plate, even discounting RL issues. But another thing: the "gutling" template. It's different from the Bile Creature template, right? And it's not posted in this thread yet?

I just read your Empires of Chaos update, and I'm stoked. Doomsday medusas? Disjoiners? Tearless Beholders? YES PLEASE! :D If you can't be bothered to post the stat blocks, then can you tell me the builds so I can emulate them? I assume for example that the Bile-tainted Maulgoths are just that...

The revolvers of the Saint of Killers, from Preacher: "And from the sword of the Angel of Death the Devil made a pair of Walker Colt revolvers. Any shot from them would find its target, and no wound from one of them would be anything less than fatal." -the gist of the narration from the comic...

I think you already posted it, Jester. Page 10.

Two things: - No, that abillity is not a trait of dragon wings. AFAIK, it is unique to the feat. What happens when you're stunned/paralyzed/immobilized/grappled in midair depends on your maneuverabillity rating, spesifically your minimum forward speed. If you can't move at least your minimum...

Crust, could you do me a favor? My game also features a good werewolf of Selune who has a rivalry with the People of the Black Blood. Could you please post the stat block for Ruskin (and ideally, Kragg)? I'd love to have them as NPCs in my game. As for your problem, it seems to me that this...
