Until they can clean the smell off (no mean feat either!) they would get an appropriate reaction from people they meet. If encountering enemies, the smell would clearly give away the victim's presence, but the reaction would vary depending on the creature. I imagine most creatures would just...

initiative: 5 + 2 = 7 "That's it boys. Nice and easy as we bring her 'round." Vemuz sits in a relaxed manner, trying to look unthreatening (but not very successfully).

Have you read Moby Dick Wilphe? I think the passage where the ship's blacksmith forges the harpoon with Ahab's blood is the best part of the book. The boatswain, being the voice of the captain relayed to the crew, also often had an important psychological role on the ship. He was the...

Vemuz leaves his axes and bow holstered as he begins to bring the boat in closer to the shore.

Listen check: 9 + 2 = 11

If you use psionics rules for PHB spells you need to do one more thing, which is to tie scaling damage in with increased power point cost. So fireball is a 3rd level spell and costs 5 points, however it will always do 5d6 damage. If you want more damage, you need to expend an additional power...

Hi Lupa, I think it's really great that you would stop by to address this concern, but did you read all of Clint's posts on this thread? To be honest, it really doesn't look like you did. He is referring to your distribution list service. You gave the email to them. They are a 3rd party...

ooc: I like how it's going Bob, and I'm still here. :)

While none of us knows for sure, it seems to me that you've got it backward. It looks like they decided these racial traits you describe above in order to justify the preferred classes, not vice versa. So, if elves were sorcerers instead of wizards they wouldn't have been depicted as you...

I really don't like what Dragonlance did to gnomes in D&D. I think gnomes need to be taken "back to the forest" just like 3e was "back to the dungeon." Druid makes the most sense to me too - or maybe wizard. ;)

I think the mooks might need to be either undead or fantastically motivated though, to hold up morale and keep coming after a few people single-handedly managed to kill 100+ of their brethren without casualties.

I also love I1. It introduced a bunch of really great new creatures into D&D, and most importantly it's incredibly open ended. There are locations and groups and it's left up in the air all the possibilities you could have between them all. You could also approach it with any number of...

I think that a nation will often be comprised of numerous varying (and sometimes radically different or violently opposed) cultural groups who boundaries similarly may cross national boundaries. Most published campaign settings I've seen (with exceptions of course), however, seem too often to...

I don't understand what you mean. It's all relative to the challenges that the DM throws at the party, isn't it? Frankly, an equal level CR challenge is far too easy IMO and kind of boring because there is pretty much zero element of risk. A 15 in a spellcasting attribute is fine. You just...

Ah, I get it now. Thanks!

Does anyone see anything related to miniatures in the samples? I don't understand what the point of this book is...

Given the goal of your world building project - taking the D&D tropes to their logical conclusions - I think that's an excellent way to handle the alignment problem. In general, I think alignment is maybe the worst part of D&D and I'd just get rid of it altogether. There have been numerous...

That jarring smile appears again. "Aye then. I'll help protect the welfare of Heart-Of-Ten-Thousand-Oaks here aboard our vessel."

It might make a slight difference to me. Some of the sample photos on the site look pretty cheesed. In particular, there's one of a tiny little green person on a tree stump. It really does look pretty awful and to be honest I find it hard to understand how anyone could find otherwise. The...
