Not much archer-material in BoED, but it's a good book. Makes a very nice pair along with BoVD. :cool: There is one archer PrC though, called Skylord. It gives you a Giant Eagle or Giant Owl mount and some nifty tricks you can do while mounted. There's also a couple of PrCs well suited for...

For the "death" corporeal undead I describe it as a "falling apart"; it has sustained so much damage, the magic that animated it can no longer hold it together. As the body is destroyed, the magic is dispelled. I'm guessing that is how the designers imagined it too, since the books always refer...

There is a small number of spells that's tied directly to the deity's favored weapon; originally from Defenders of the Faith, but I believe I've seen them in a 3.5 book as well. Complete Divine, probably.

Regarding the Christian influence in the works of Snorre Sturlason: This was very likely a necessary evil for Snorre. His ambition was to collect the traditional poems and epics of the Norse myths, get them written down for posterity since they only existed as a dying oral tradition. For this...

Our group has been playing together since the release of 3.0. There are 6 of us, but only one who could be called a powergamer. And he's not too much of a powergamer either. Well, he can be pretty bad... But he could've been worse! He's does sometimes choose the less powerful option because he...

Does nobody have any ideas/comments re. King Augvalds saga? I think the story is cool, but I'm not sure if it's suited for a campaign. What will be the PCs part in these goings on? I don't want to leave them as just spectators to what the NPCs are doing. Anyone have an idea about how the story...

I'm currently mulling over the idea of starting the campaign with the war between Avaldsnes and Sevland. Let me go over some bits of local history (taken from Snorre): These "kingdoms", and two others as well, were all located on the same island; neither of them were bigger than a few miles...

There's definitely stuff in Frostburn that I'll be using, as I mentioned above. ;)

Try ad-libbing the encounter I finished DMing half an hour ago: 5 dwarf barbarian 23/battle rager 5 5 dwarf fighter 8/cleric 13/Hammer of Moraidn 10 1 dwarf cleric 31 1 celestial dwarf paladin 30/dwarven paragon 3/hammer of moradin 10/wonderworker 3 3 gnome ranger 37 vs 27 frostgiant...

I've heard praise of Mr Anderson's books before, but havn't been able to get my hands ony of them. :( I really liked Harrison's Hammer & Cross trilogy, though, so much I read them twice in fact. And you say Anderson's are better? Gotta get me some of those! Actually I was thinking of using...

Couldn't agree more! :D Full of excellent tales and brilliant plot-ideas for a RPG. And required reading in Norwegian schools, I might add! ;) But I'd very much like to take the PCs through some real-world adventures before taking the campaign to the mythological level, and it's ideas for...

My players would never consider any of those options I'm afraid. They'd see it as their duty to destroy all three parties and their only question would be who to stop first. :\ Unless it was in our evil campaign! Then they'd team up with whoever they figured was the most powerful. And then...

In the type/subtype descriptions (or possibly in the create-your-own-monsters section) in the 3.0 MM (havn't got the 3.5 books with me, so I'm going by memory now) it says monstrous humanoids are humanoids with some abnormal features. Humanoids with animalistic features are mentioned as typical...

That's ok, Norway's not a member! :p

Glad to see there are somebody outside Scandinavia and Great Britain who knows their vikings! :D As you say, the word viking had several uses. For the norse it could be a noun, indicating a raiding trip across the seas or a warrior who had been on such a raid (an experienced warrior, in other...

Revenge was indeed very important! Exacting a revenge that was sufficiently dire, while still not being completely over the top, earned you the respect of your fellow men. ----- There'll definitely be sailing. The quality of viking ships, along with the superior quality of their steel, was...

The are some magic shops in my homebrew world... One is located in the biggest city of the prime material plane, the rest are located on the planes in cities like Union, Tunarath, Sigil and the City of Brass. Guilds, churches and orders on the material can sometimes help members aquire items...

This is very, very close to what I'm planning, except I'm making my own variant classes and "prestige classes". It's still a work in progress, but here's my draft for a viking warrior class: d12 HD BAB=HD Saves: Good fort Skill points: 4/lvl Bonus feat (from a list very like the ftr list) at...

This gives me an idea! :D The vikings believed the rainbow was a walkable bridge (called "Bivrost") between Midgard and Asgard. Maybe I should set the PCs on a "chase the rainbow" kind of hunt... (Sings: "I believe; we'll catch the rainbow..." :p )

In Norway 13th warrior is regarded as a comedy; aka Eric the Viking II :p Seriously though; plenty of goof ideas in your post, thanks! :)
