Yes it is! Having someone with a cutlass and a brace of pistols is fine. Having a sharpshooter on a rooftop armed with a rapier for the inevitable rooftop chase is great. My concern is keeping to that balance point where everyone isn't getting firearms. Having a reload time and making the...

JohnSnow encapsulates my reply nicely. I have my campaign year tied to 1650, ignoring firearms, for cultural and scientific achievements, but the idea of people in armor, titles, mercenary companies, ruins to explore, and for the most part muscle, wind, and water powered machinery is a big part...

I was thinking of manticores, lamia, ankhegs, chuul, sphinx, catoblepas, gorgons, and the titular dragons, of course.

I would consider "monsters" a viable third option.

I appreciated the elemental planes, although I had similar concerns with a certain level of accessibility and survivability. My current planar scheme was influenced by the Arduin Grimoire, in that I started thinking of each plane as a "planet", and what level of fidelity to typical physics they...

It helps he's dead.

Okay, so a wizard gains two spells per level, plus an extra once every other class level (when gaining a new spell level to cast) that is from their specialty. Not jazzed by it, and it turns into one less thing to spend money on, maybe. (And thanks for the speedy reply!)

It's not? That's a relief. Could you explain what he meant?

Gives a new meaning to "I'm pretty short. My legs barely reach the ground!" Nice! A village whose residents die only of accident or old age. Very old age. It could become quite the resort town. Reminds me of Mutant, by Henry Kuttner. You might have some who become benevolent semi-hive minded...

I'm impressed you were able to make her forehead symbol as consistent as you did.

I'd buy it.

Hard to say... I've written adventures for the Abyss, Ysgard, and Acheron. Of the three, the most interesting was Acheron, but the most fun was Ysgard. I'm particularly fond of Acheron, except for the cube business. Having Elysium be the setting of an adventurous morality play, particularly in...

In the Arduin Grimore there is a phenomenon known as the helltide. This is when giant army ants decide to swarm and go "that a way". I can imagine that, either before or after the town in its path is eaten, a terrible rainstorm washes away the trail, and now they just circle the town. Flight or...

I enjoy railroads as long as I don't perceive the rails. I had a friend who made some great adventures, and it was really logical how our choices lead to the next stage. However, the DM was really good at presenting to us the 2-3 most likely choices we would chose, and have those lead to the...

Garuda...

One way is breadth and level of control. The Guild of Summoners teaches a plethora of common and expected otherworldly creatures- elementals, other-dimensional humanoids, &c. Concentration is required for control of any summoning. Disciples of the Pallid Emperor learn some summoning...

For me, it's option 1, where the summoner calls a creature and while it is active the magician is concentrating. The caster trades their actions for a different set of actions and capabilities- the creature's. There are circumstances where the magician can, for example, summon a flying...

Indeed, they're both right, in a way.

Then the skills apply.

Loving the shops! You need someplace to duck into to lose a tail!
