    Holmes in my D&D: dealing with Perception+Insight optimization?

    You're actually quite reassuring :D I admit that I've been neglecting SC a bit, I'll reread that section of RC.

    Holmes in my D&D: dealing with Perception+Insight optimization?

    This is an interesting take, thanks! Also, here's his build, for your curiosity: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5F8v4MM-paoZkZIQ0NzYkpqQjQ/view?usp=sharing

    Holmes in my D&D: dealing with Perception+Insight optimization?

    He's using Arcana in place of Dimplomacy/Intimidate when interacting with non-natural creatures (Binding mastery, with +2 check), in place of Insight/Perception as I said, once per encounter in place of Stealth (Chameleon's Mask) or in place of Bluff/Intimidate/Diplomacy (Arcane Mutterings). He...

    Holmes in my D&D: dealing with Perception+Insight optimization?

    Thanks for all the replies! Implementing all the advice won't be trivial, but I think I'll manage at least some of them. I think my main problem is that I need to change the results of successful checks a bit, but without making it tiresome or irritating for the player. Exaggerating, instead of...

    WotBS 13th Age Icons for the Burning Sky thoughts?

    Ryan semi-confirmed that WotBS occurs (or maybe occurs) in the same world as Zeitgeist, which is isolated from the usual multiverse (and I just sent my players hunting trillith beneath Flint...), and as far as I checked the original campaign, no obvious divine interventions are needed there.

    Holmes in my D&D: dealing with Perception+Insight optimization?

    ...perhaps my English is worse than I thought or I just didn't clarify this enough: I certainly don't want to force the adventure into a set of predetermined scenes, which now do not work because of autosuccessful checks. But just removing (e.g. autosucceeding every check) the whole mechanic of...

    Holmes in my D&D: dealing with Perception+Insight optimization?

    One of my players made Sherlock Holmes-like PC, eladrin artificier (and yes, he's playing violin). He has heavily invested in Arcana-boosting options, and today, starting paragon, finally unveiled the combo he was building: by taking Arcana prodigy feat (sorcerer multiclass) and then Sorcerous...

    ZG #11 (4e) Concerns

    I think I made her a bit too invincible with both bonus to defenses from Shield of Lies and penalty to attacks from Demonic Presence, especially since the party is only lvl 25. On the other hand, my own game is only entering paragon, and I have no idea of what epic level characters are capable of...

    ZG #11 (4e) Concerns

    Sooo I had too much time on my hands, and with a help of Certain Program That Should Not Be Named I made a full stat-block. Note that I completely agree that A-S should not be a combat foe, but this was a good exercise, I think. Tell me what you think of the result! Edit: Holy mother of...

    ZG #11 (4e) Concerns

    It's referenced in side-note "Evil demon" on page 49, though, as included in Appendix. Just something to correct to compilation, I guess... 2OP, if I were to stat her, you can probably start from Lolth stat-block from MM3 and go from there

    writings of William Miller in Crypta Hereticarum?

    I think Clergy only puts very specific stuff in Crypt, the things that may be reborn if physically destroyed. There's nothing magical about physical books of William Miller, so there's no reason Clergy can't just burn them and be with it. In my head-canon every book there was originally...

    ZEITGEIST Bladebound Magus in Zeitgeist

    PF sure has some tasty classes. Some thoughts in no particular order: apart from witch oil, there is a second soul-related substance, which is Needlewire - a mysterious liquid, which allows Nicodemus to possess any person upon injecting, which McBennin could in theory have some supply of. The...

    new campaign began last night!

    Well, there's a paragon-level golem stumbling about through the island, and especially unlucky (wink-wink) PCs can attract its attention. Add a wandering Danoran patrol, which overheard the commotion/was sent to capture the golem as a proof of inhumane Danoran practices (and therefore came in...

    Alais Primos or Methia?

    Methia was the capital of old Crissiliur, whereas Srasama was killed at Alais Primos, since that was the furthest eladrin were able to advance. It is only logical that Srasama's last curse was aimed at the heart of the nation that killed her. For the record, I disagree with Elfshire here, I...

    Sijhen's escape plan ... how could it work?

    In my game the party prepared 3 magic circles "from aberrants" in advance in RHC headquarters (in basement, on ground floor and on second floor), and inserted Xambria via Witch Cauldron from adventure 2 (allows to complete one ritual instantly if pre-cast). Had they made another circle on the...

    Pathfinder play report

    The goal of the golem is not to assault PCs, but to cover technicians' escape. If PCs are incapacitated/seem to be like that (Bluff check to feign death maybe?), he's likely to return to his original orders, which is to transport engineers to Bleak Death via rusted ring and lantern in his chest...

    ZEITGEIST Zeitgeist Adventure 11

    Great work, as usual! A quick notice from native Russian speaker: "Vsadni" is meaningless word, perhaps you were aiming for "vsadniki" ("riders", "vsadnik" in singular). Also, a typo: ...stopping the radical eschatologists will makes the PCs heroes to Drakr....

    The Exploits of Javelin Company, RHC Flint Chapter [Starting Cauldron Born!]

    Ottavia wouldn't know anyone from Gold cell, they are secretive after all. If you want to strand them in Crypta, let the undead wreck their boat, they're supposed to be unable to leave until dawn. In my game PCs made Ottavia doubt her loyalty and they made a run throughCrypta together with much...
