Here's a cool monster you could throw in (CR 4):

Either would work. If it's insubstantial, I could give it resistance to non-magical weapon damage. If you know of any, yes, please suggest them! I have a party of six level 6 PCs, so, something that would be appropriate for them.

Yes, I'm currently playing in a campaign about a world where magic has been only available to the Evil Empire and we're fighting against them. However, the DM has been making magic items available to us, and I would encourage your DM to be thinking about giving you more magic items (and earlier)...

I have a session coming up this weekend where the PCs (level 6) will be fighting a construct--a portrait of a mage that has come to life. I could homebrew this from the ground up, but I feel like there is probably something like it out there already. Can anyone suggest an existing monster...

But wouldn't a campaign creation guide also be another book to buy?

Oh yeah, don't get me wrong, I like campaign creation guides. I just question whether such a book reaches the level of essential-ness to make it qualify as a fourth core book.

And apparently do so without a campaign creation guide?

I don't think so. What if you're planning on running mostly published adventures?

I don't think you need a campaign creator's guide in the same way you need, say, a monster manual. A campaign creator's guide would be more of a niche thing that some GMs would benefit from and others not.

Have you checked out ENworld's En5ider? Might scratch the same itch, although it comes out as individual articles.

I'm glad you're covering this campaign. It's quite solid and deserves more love.

Ah, got it.

Wow, so the PCs can never be caught off guard, ever? I don't want to shut down that much potential story.

Do you mean the cover art? I wouldn't call that "lovingly fondling." If you're thinking of the "Illusion of the Decapus" illustration, it's pretty tame (though it was the cause of some hand-wringing at the time), and also, you don't actually see the decapus in it.

You more likely ran the reworked adventure with the green cover. It's much easier to find.

How about this: Decouple it from stats entirely. Make it a skill that can be trained by anyone. Expertise and Jack of All Trades may apply. Maybe add a homebrewed "improved initiative" feat for extra bonuses. (I haven't read the whole thread, so apologies if this has already been suggested.)...

I kinda feel like "uncommon" is more of a guideline to how NPCs should react to these items, rather than how many PCs should expect to get them. Like, "Ooh, you don't see those every day!"

I've run it.

Still, how many MtG-based horror settings can D&D realistically sustain in terms of official publications?

Wouldn't there be too much overlap with Innistrad, which already has a D&D conversion?
