I'm in the opposite position of several previous posters: I'm almost 16 years younger than my wife. But they say older-wife/younger-husband marriages have the lowest divorce rate (at least in the US, not sure about worldwide), and we'll be celebrating our 41st anniversary in March.... Johnathan

I've used them in two different campaigns. In one, it was the ghost of a gynosphinx cursed to watch over her treasures until someone could best her riddles and take that which she guarded so scrupulously during her life. The next one involved a gynosphinx and two lamia assistants capturing...

My bookcases started out lawful neutral: everything alphabetized by author's last name, book series in sequence, and so forth. Over the years, they've somehow become chaotic neutral, with books stacked in front of other books, books placed sideways on the tops of book rows because they happen...

I just finished Michael Reaves' The Shattered World and am now beginning its sequel, The Burning Realm. The first one was as entertaining as I recall it to have been when I first read it some 40 years or so ago, and I can't wait to see what happens next. Johnathan

Well, best of luck to you on both fronts! Johnathan

It looks like you forgot to update its AC and damage values. And it looks like its saves are off by a bit, too: as a 12-HD aberration (with good Will saves), its Fort save should be +9 and its Ref save should be +9. Johnathan

I have 12d6 that I refer to as my "fireball" dice, because the 1-2-3 faces are predominantly yellow and the 4-5-6 faces are predominantly orange. It's easy to see at a glance whether you did above average damage with them or not, even before you start counting up the numbers. Johnathan

It looks like its AC values are off, since a 20 Dex provides a +5 bonus, not +4 as listed. So, AC = 19, touch = 14, right? (Or am I missing something?) Likewise, a 22 Str provides a +6 bonus, so its tentacle damage should probably be 1d6+6 (including its constrict attack) and its bite damage...

Good deal! Johnathan
