IMC I've got a character who is very good at rebuking undead. He's got a 17 Charisma and both the Improved Turning and Extra Turning feats. It is no surprise that I introduce plenty of opportunities to use that class ability. The problem is that the process is really unwieldy. Even though...

This is a fair analysis. As soon as my group finishes Madness and the follow up Vengeance I'm going to get them back on the open ocean as quickly as possible. Scarbelly and the orcs aboard the Bloody Vengeance do provide something of a red herring. My group got all the information possible...

The Freeport trilogy is fantastic. My group just arrived at Black Dog's caves last night. Orryn is right, the trilogy does involve a lot of investigation. I ran the three adventures one after another, the party was 3rd level at the start of Death, 4th level at the beginning of Terror, and 5th...

Here there be spoilers. (And if you've read this far and are still worried about that, what are you doing?) My group just started AoW over the weekend. Our DM was concerned that the Whispering Cairne was going to chew us up and spit us out, but I think we did quite well. I'm not sure we can...

I've read the entire magic chapter in the PHB, but I've clearly overlooked something. Let's say my wizard has already selected his two new spells for leveling. Now he wants to research another existing spell, say, scorching ray. How long will that take? How much will it cost? Does it...

Session 6, 7, and 8 - Terror in Freeport A quick search of the temple revealed Enzo’s corpse, and Lucius, exhausted and wounded, but alive. The mild librarian was thankful to be rescued and nearly brought to tears when the party revealed that Brother Egil had send them. They returned to the...

Sessions 5 and 6 - Death in Freeport The trio was still arguing over how to sneak on board the Bloody Vengeance when Scarbelly walked through the front door of the Broken Mug. Bronson and Nate stared, momentarily stunned by their good fortune. Sully immediately went to work. By the time...

Both suggestions for a pirate eyepatch have something to recommend them, although I don't have UA so I'm not up on blind fury. I like the idea of a magical hook, although I'm not sure that granting improved grab makes much sense stylisticly. It's a hook, you're probably not going to be...

I'm looking for some pirate magic item ideas over here. Morrow

While Freeport: The City of Adventure, Stormwrack, and Dragon have provided some pirate specific magic items, I'd like to create some more. First up is the Vest of the Pirate. I've got a swashbuckling fighter headed for the Freeport Pirate prestige class in my game. She's been a little short...

In Contact's Liberation of Tenn story hour Jespo Crimm is the character and Prince Thrommel is the cohort. Since the Prince obviously calls the shots, poor Jespo spends a good deal of time and effort convincing the Prince not to run off and get himself killed. Morrow

Ha! We're Back! Hallelujah! Internet connection has returned. The long awaited next updated is coming soon. In the meantime, head over to Behind the Scenes or Freeport Opera House Plot Suggestions to help me plot the next fiendish development in the campaign. Morrow

Who says Charisma is a dump stat? An interesting fact I just realized. At 4th level both Nate and Sully put their ability point in Charisma. So Charisma scores for this party are as follows: Nate: 18 Bronson: 17 Tavarii: 15 Sully: 14 I think Tavarii's player was a little shocked when he...

Well, you know what they say about short men with big noses...

Session 5 - Death in Freeport - Boring Investigation Our heroes began their investigations at Lucius’ home, a quiet little cottage in Drac’s End. Any illusions they may have harbored about the affluent life of a librarian were soon shattered. Lucius’ cluttered little home revealed the life of...

History of the Wanting Thief Presenting Tavaari Naaldren Not so long ago, Empress Gabriella of Thonia gave birth to a son. It was a joyous event and was a great relief, as Emperor Alexus was in poor health. When the Emperor and Empress finally had their child, it was a beautiful male child...

Somewhat Tangential to the Topic I see that sleep, charm person, and color spray enjoy prominent places on many lists. What would you recommend for a wizard who doesn't have those as an option? For example a 1st level conjurer who, in a fit of suicidal enthusiasm, chose enchantment and...

Session 5 - Death in Freeport The following morning the trio returned to the Temple of Harrimast. They made small talk with Father Peg-Leg while he worked his magic and promised to meet his friend for lunch at the Dented Helm. The arrived at the Helm and met Tavarii, a drinking companion of...
