Thanks to all those who pointed out the Mithraic Mysteries. I had not thought of that. I am indecisive about Scandanavia. I was toying with the idea of removing the humans and making it an Alfar (Scandanavian Elves) stronghold, but everything I find under that name reads alot like Tolkien...

I'm drawing on Graham Hancock et al's assertion -without comment on its accuracy:) - that an advanced civilization was based in pre-iced Antarctica. The notion serves two purposes: 1) It allows me to add a strange but distant culture that I can totally make up, after re-reading Plato's stuff...

Given this list of changes to history, what do you think the effects would be on the Mediterranean world and more importantly the British islands, assume the current date is 600 AD: * The Romans fought to a stalemate with Carthage during the Second Punic War. Currently, the Carthaginian Empire...

A few, my Arabic is rusty: Prophet= Rasool (This isa prophet who has come with a sacred text; there is another word for a prophet who does not come with a revealed text.) Believer= Mu’min (Holy) Warrior =Mujahid Martyr= Shaheed Protector= Wali If I remember the words for any of the others...

Using a hook from the player's background that he mentioned once in an off-hand way at the table I turned one former PC into a bad guy. It took a while for the others to figure out what happened but once the party realized he betrayed them they howled for his blood. The confrontation has yet...

Someone else gets the credit for finding this (I forget who- someone on these boards), but Walmart is offering the 3.5 books at a pre-order price of $17.62 each. Go to www.walmart.com and enter the book's title in the search field, just be sure you order the 3.5 book and not the 3.0. Corey

Seeking a player to join an established group in Springfield, VA. Here is some shameless self-promotion in the form of feedback from the game’s players: “(I like) the great detail. The feeling that my character is actually not in the standard European D&D setting- instead of just the same...

Hi all: The 'to be playtested' version. *************** Wearers of Black (Thanks to Technik, SylverFlame, MarauderX, and Felix of the EN World message boards. Also, thanks to Kephri of Shadowcraft Studios for his incredibly useful Class Construction Engine-...

Mike, thanks for noticing that. It does seem very contradictory. I do fall into the unremarkable until they choose otherwise category. I see the order's organization using its older members more openly while the younger ones tend to stay out of the picture. The party ran into three members...

MarauderX, good to hear from you. No. They would only wear their "uniform" when operating openly. The term has no real significance, other than I like it. I got the name from an Afghan tribe. (siyah-push, Persian for wearers of black ) I see them as able to gather information and then...

Thanks for chiming in, Felix. Agent of Sin = Someone who willingly and conciously exalts and/or sacrifices to Sin. The second you freely choose to worship Sin, the ultimate blasphemy, you become a target for the WoB. Mindless undead do not fit this definition, in fact alot that can be...

Thanks for the great comments so far. It’s obvious a lot of thought is going into these responses. I’m trying to make the class something appropriate for characters taking their sixth or seventh level. I also want it to appeal primarily to Fighters, Clerics, and Rogues. My hope was to use...

Wearers of Black Unimpeded by most of the moral constraints generally imposed by serving Avasara (God), the Wearers of Black live among the world’s degenerates and filth. While acting as traders in illicit goods, prostitutes, or in other unsavory roles they seek out rumor of those who have...

I'm happy. You did a great job.

To my knowledge, I'm the only Muslim gamer on this board. I gamed during Ramadan, I just broke off play to end my fast and pray when the time came. I DM a campaign at my home so when one of the five daily prayers comes in I just call a break and go pray. I play in another campaign an hour...
