Have you looked at The Lost Temple of Demogorgon in Dungeon 120? It sounds like it would be a near perfect fit, artifact and all.

Night, Can you explain what you mean by spontaneous? <-totally ignorant of SL

I have one request. No more golems. All the sane ideas have been done. Most of the insane ideas as well. I don't want to see any cheese golems or feces golems or any other (insert substance here) golems. Who can afford these blasted things anyway? If PCs balk at the price tag, you can...

Ari, I really should have had the data to back up my statements, especially when those comments could unfavorably color someone's product. I apologize. My copy is out on loan, and I was speaking from general impression. I was quite excited about the book and, well, you know how expectations...

Right now, and it's all thanks to The Forge. :uhoh: Seriously though, I feel we're in a golden age of D&D{hands Diaglo a tissue}. Can't speak to other systems.

I felt a little cheated by this book. It read like the Complete Book of Taint and if you don't like that particular mechanic, then you're left with less than half a book. Maybe it'll grow on me. Either way, I'm glad to hear that it's rekindled interest for some of you.

Just a light hearted jest at your stated misfortune of always having a campaign ill-suited to your character. A straight fighter might have a slow time in a game involving endless diplomacy, bluff and sense motive checks.

Gratified to hear you like it! :) That's what this site's all about. Feel free to borrow, modify or steal entire. As for protection, with the order being somewhat tethered to the wall, it would have some ardent defenders. I could also see a wise and practical baron capitaling on all the...

Hey Bullgrit, let us know how that high-stakes political game works out. :p

Agreed. If you use the "Mastering a Foreign Spellbook" from CArc, you might have a basic workaround. I had this picture in my mind of a massive wall, which is tended by the Ecumenical Brotherhood of the Graven Stone or somesuch(a bunch of VoP caster types) who "Master" the wall and thus...

True to form, we have another victory for Godwin's Law. :(

Thanks for answering on his behalf. Regarding spell mastery, it doesn't seem useless if the character had taken it before he took the vow, especially if he doesn't want to pursue further levels in wizard.

Alarm can be tricky to use effectively out in the wilds, but in a structure, like, say, a dungeon you can alarm the approaches away from where the party is sleeping, hopefully with a door interposed between you and the bad guys. In the hands of a sorceror, alarm is a whole nother matter. My...

Some of the spells are certainly more equal than others. Owl's Insight, I'm looking at you. Lightning Ring looks a bit overpowered, not sure on that one. Overall, though, it's a great book.

It's not extra dice, so I'd imagine so.

Even if they're willing to just be a read magic(+ potential spell mastery) machine? Why expressly forbid it?

Write those two new spells on a wall. Thus the wizard donates his knowledge to the world. Seems fitting for a selfless character.

Maybe the comments in this thread prejudiced me, but the impression gained in my (admittedly brief) foray was baloney firmly ensconced in a layer of meta-baloney.

Heavy armor proficiency is a class feature for the fighter and yet its use would seem to be proscribed. Does a kensai keep his signature weapon regardless of what form it takes? Should a wizard be allowed to craft scrolls? What happens to those two free spells if a non-vowed wizard levels at...

Would you allow a fighter with VoP to have heavy armor or even a greatsword for that matter?
