Was Chekov a fan of prune juice, like Worf was? I don't recall that ever coming up. Johnathan

One thought: maybe the gloomfetch can generate a kind of permanent "reverse shield other" effect (something like a shield me spell, if such a thing existed), such that half of any damage sent its way (by deliberately targeting the head) is transferred to the thrall, whereas any...

I think the second sentence under the "Sorcerers and Wizards" section is there in error, as it contradicts the other material. Have you decided how to deal with attacking a gloomfetch "riding" a thrall? Who takes the damage? Johnathan

I wasn't aware of that - it might have aided in building the dream parts of this campaign. I just kind of winged it with the scant material in Manual of the Planes. The 3.5 era of the game certainly came out with a lot of books - it would be difficult (not to mention expensive) to have gotten...

I see what you did there! Johnathan

I'm a shade shocked, myself. Johnathan

Well, we're two episodes in (we're watching an episode a night, skipping Wednesday because it's D&D game session night) and at the point where we pretty much can recall who the characters are and what their relationships are to each other. So far so good, although I've noticed they have a lot...

Fought triple-digit hp zombies underwater. Johnathan

I don't think you want it to be Large - that doesn't fit with your pictures above, for one thing. And the darkmantle gets Improved Grab against creatures Large and smaller, even though it's only size Small. I'd probably go that route, myself. Johnathan

You might want to make "Gloomfetch Thrall" a template that you apply to the host creature. That's how you could rejigger the ability scores around. As for the chameleon-like ability, isn't "Chameleon" a psionic power? Maybe gloomfetches get a racial bonus on duration for using that psionic...

Swapping out blindsense for low-light vision and darkvision makes perfect sense. I can definitely see the Frightful Presence being a logical addition. And a darkmantle already has a limited form of chameleonlike, color-changing skin - "a darkmantle can change its color to match almost any type...

My current 3.5 sorcerer PC, Alistair Mandelberen Pastlethwaite, comes from a noble background and dresses accordingly: a white shirt with ruffles at the neck and wrists, pants that reach just below the knees, hosiery, and black leather shoes with shiny buckles. His hair is tied in the back with...

My first thought was this: an octopid creature capable of dropping down upon unsuspecting victims from above? Sounds like there very possibly might be some genetic ties to the darkmantle, which does this very thing. Are the two races related? Might the gloomfetch be a particularly intelligent...

I finished the first book in the trilogy and am now starting the second, Twilight of the Gods II: Groa's Other Eye by Dennis Schmidt. It's pulp sword and sorcery with a Norse flair, and it does what it sets out to do: be a cool, action-packed pulp story with cool characters. I'm enjoying the...

Yeah, fortunately that was only a dream-figment of the Dreadful Flying Glove, not the real thing. And the human rogue has six levels of bard (as many as it took him to realize bards suck), and used it to inspire courage in his friends (the Blue Meanies were not at all impressed with his music)...

In today's "Dreams of Erthe" session, the PCs: Met up in the Dreamlands, and were told that a neighboring dream galaxy had skimmed by their own, resulting in a number of alien dream-fragments inhabiting a few of the dreams of the local residents, and the PCs, being dreamwalkers, were being sent...

Kaiju, Rabbids, Jigglypuff, Blue Meanies. Johnathan

Clown - This spell makes an inert duplicate of a creature, albeit one with an innate penchant for wearing greasepaint, rubber noses, and obnoxiously oversized shoes. If the original individual has been slain, its soul immediately transfers to the clown, creating a replacement (provided that the...
