Isn't it basically just the same as Legendary Resistance? Is it the inability to make the item work on the first hit that bothers you, or the fact that the module instructs DMs to hide what they're doing?

There's always (IMO) been a healthy amount of Robin Hood mixed in with the Ranger archetype, and he certainly has roguish tendencies.

(never mind)

On the other hand, it can't report until it gets back, as it doesn't have the "see through your familiar's eyes" telepathic link. You also have to speak to it verbally or at least in whispers, which could interfere with trying to stay hidden.

Such a great setting. I understand why it's never been updated--and yes, a lot of it is system-agnostic--but I'm still bummed that it's dormant, if only because it deserves to be better known.

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone! I think I've decided to treat the teapot as a magic item (with charges) and will balance it by giving similarly powerful magic items to other party members. Someone pointed me to this resource, which will also be handy...

I guess that's fair, but still, bummer.

Why is it the "final" book?

Didn't the original Starter Set come with pregen characters? I don't have mine handy right now, but I could swear it did. Or do you just think the ones from the Essentials Kit were better?

Music and Ambience Resources for Chapter One I don't usually use music at the table, but I've been experimenting with it for this campaign. In addition to the various versions of the "Song of Elturel" listed a couple of posts ago, here are some of the resources I've been using for chapter one...

Is the new novel by Christie Golden? She's written for Ravenloft in the past and recently left Blizzard.

Watch the Star Trek TOS episode "Elaan of Troyus" for inspiration? :D

You don't have to burn your bridges. Just say you need to bow out for an unspecified amount of time. It might turn into forever, or something could happen to get the group back on track. You'll keep your options open. I don't think it's worth sticking around for this. The fact that you really...

Sounds interesting! How do they work?

Seems like they're talking out of both sides of their mouth.

I just remembered that I bought this third-party supplement ages ago, so I may try adapting some of those items for the tea effects. https://www.dmsguild.com/product/171344/Recipe-Crafting-for-Consumables I'm still worried about balance, though. To require a skill roll or not to require a skill...

TL;DR: I want to give one of my players the opportunity to make a few magical teas with mechanical effects, but I don't want to make the teas or the character too powerful. For context, I am currently running a campaign in the Koryo Hall of Adventures setting (based on Korean folklore), in...

Some great suggestions here, thanks! I especially like the petrified ship.

I'd like to see it! I can always use more golems (I have a weakness for them).

Just introduce them to a wealthy mark and watch them fleece him/her?
