We plugged him in at the end and I was running him for JollyDoc. The party did quite well against him, especially considering that they had precious time to buff. Oh, he's plenty tough. All the casulaties he inflicted on the party were with minor damage to himself, despite herculean efforts...

From Legends and Lore (p. 7): "In certain instances, some divinites are so loathsome and repellant as to actually have negative charisma. This applies only to truly ghastly divine beings . . . as with awe power [for really high Charisma] even if a person were to be given negative charisma...

Nice post JD, good to see some RPing for a change. Fight with Adimarchus (Part I) concluded tonight. 1 PC imploded, 2 PCs paralzyed (and reduced to zero strength)

Thought I would toss you guys a little gem while we patiently await JollyDoc's update. So "Asylum" has entered full-swing. The party (now a total of 9 PCs!!) enters Carceri after repeated attempts on their lives, some more successful than others, by the minions/spawns of the big A...

Yep, it was Eberron-flavored this year.

Huh? Where did you get this forumula? CR is not included AFAIK.

Just wanted to give props to a couple of our very own ENWolders who participated in and won the D&D Open in GenCon this year. Their pictures are featured in the latest issue of Dragon, along with the other members of the team. So, JollyDoc and Joachim . . . props to you for an impressive...

If you start as a Pureblood Yuan-Ti then you need to start at least at 6th level. 4 HD + 2 ECL. The ECL includes all of the special abilities and ability modifiers descrbied in the monster block. This is unlike races (not monsters) with ECL adjustments. For instance Drow (+2 ECL) can start...

Thanks guys! Could someone give me a brief run-down of Damning Darkness? Does it require any vile feats? Edit: Actually, I think I have the bare stats, could someone please confirm these? Cleric 4 As Darkness but deals 2d6 to good creatures/1d6 to neutral creatures Save: None Sr...

I'm looking for some spells in WotC books that have the [Darkness] descriptor. Specifically, I want to negate the [Light] generated by Exalted spells in the BoED. Perhaps the BoVD has a few solutions?

There have been a handful of Entropy references in our Shackled City SH. Some were more overt than others, for instance . . . During Test of the Smoking Eye, Also, if you'll recall the end of the Bastion of Broken Souls story arc in Gfunk's SH . . . For a refresher on Entropy and her...

JD, that was a superlative job! Great to see some great role-playing in addition to pulse-pounding combat. A nice post to hit the 20,000 view mark on.

Thanks!!

All I can say after witnessing the first part of "Asylum" is . . . WOW! For those of you who thought Vhalantru the Beholder was an easy victory the first time, the "new and improved" version went down in a blaze of glory. Can you say . . . 3 Finger of Deaths, 1 Charm Monster, 1...

I have the 3.0 MotP but not he 3.5 version. Could someone please give me a quick rundown of the 3.5 pseudonatural template?

Hey Tony, welcome to our SH. I do agree with you that addition of non-core content tends to throw everything out of whack including the CR system. The problem I have when I DM is that I find it necessary to optimize my monsters using various splat-book PrC's and spells. Unfortunately as you...

It turns out "Strike on Shatterhorn" ended with another exceedingly interesting plot twist, just like "Thirteen Cages." The group is starting the final chapter, "Asylum," this weekend and I'll be there. Sweet!

1. It really sucked when lethal means were used because the players are a force of weal in Cauldron. They have no wish to kill innocents, even if they are a part of crazed mob. 2. CR 9 wasn't too bad. The mobs basically function as giants with an inability to fly or throw boulders, albeit...

It seemed like a cool idea but it did not work well in our game. The swarm mechanic was silly for several reasons: 1. It is not possible to stop the "swarm" in an intelligent manner (e.g. simply charming the swarm's leader(s) and convincing them to stop the others). 2. It becomes...

What are you talking about!? "I go into the bar to make some contacts." - said by player during a short-lived Werewolf campaign during some "in-game" downtime. "Eat lead Chinaman!!!!" - said by me during a short-lived Deadlands campaign. I was playing a xenophobic, 80-year old vet of...
