Cool. Just need to imagine a role for slaves.

Ogrémoch hates mining, since any fruits in the crust of the earth are his. The only alternative that's come to mind is some sort of slave plantation, on an expansive plateau with well-protected entrances. Ideas? Edit: after LMoP, everybody's tired of mines and this mine map is pretty weak

Best edition yet, and I'm happy to see the back of the edition wars.

Holy crap, I hadn't thought of buying it strictly as a DM aid. Wham, sold. This is the future of module publishing.

What on earth is going on?!? It doesn't making sense. After the blockbuster release of the PHB you'd think Wizards would be growing, not shrinking. Is Hasbro not investing Wizards' sales profits back into Wizards? It feels like D&D is being ripped off. Do we need to pull a Michael Moore and...

Steel's made into ingots for further processing too. Try a Google image search for "stainless steel ingot."

An ingot isn't only used as currency (see wikipedia: ingot). Ingots are the base form into which metal is first smelted, and they're expected to have a minimum purity and a particular weight. Ingots made with more exotic metals can be currency as well. That would blow the previous D&D values...

Smoke breaks is a great idea! But they have no access to herbs. They will take breaks, though, just like they did in life. Thanks :P I'm pushing the notion that skeletons mime all aspects of their former lives, from work, through social, dining, pub going, sleep, sex. It's all an eerie...

Good idea! In my scenario the Phandelver mine's been running for hundreds of years with skeletal miners. I did the math using the 1e DMG mining table and even if there's just a trace of mithral in the host rock (0.001% if memory serves) it works out to a 60' cube stack of smelted mithral after...

The last session ended with the party 6 miles underground at the earth's mantle, where skeletons have almost finished excavating the Pit Fiend skeleton and his iron crown. I still have time to incorporate the Enworld braintrust and improve this hell-forged crown. I'm not happy with the finished...

Well, there's always 3.5e: http://www.d20srd.org/srd/specialMaterials.htm#mithral Type of Mithral Item Item Cost Modifier Light armour +1,000gp Medium armour +4,000pg Heavy armour +9,000gp Shield +1,000pg Other item +500gp/lb I'd add some expense for the difficulty...

Well I'll be damned. I didn't bother to look it up since it's not the sort of thing one sees described in a monster entry! Question answered!

Your gut reaction please, followed by any rationale. Yes or no?

It's just lightweight steel, imho.

Sage advice. The 1,200gp per 20 lb ingot is fine with me, even it it's at the low end of the scale. Mithril's more common in my world then. Done! Love your avatar :D

Thanks all for chiming in. For what it's worth, mithral armour is classified as uncommon (max value 500 gp). Thanks Jester. That's something at least. So let's say 600 gp for 10 lbs, or 60 gp/lb. Only 20% more valuable than gold. So, for your consideration in your own campaigns: A mithral...

At what value would you set 1 lb of mithral in your campaign? According to the DMG (p.157): 1 lb of gold is 50 gp 1 lb of platinum is 500 gp Does anybody recall any reference in D&D material to the value of mithral bullion (coins, ingots)? The party is about to enter Wave Echo Cave, where...

Incidentally, the party should never have made it as far as Strahd's brother's tomb. They actually went straight to Strahd's tomb, following his footprints, but uncovered the teleport trap where the footprints stopped. After testing with a mouse, they unbelievably decided to all jump through at...

Oh, Strahd's default is no problem and needs no buff. The vampire legendary actions are essentially a super haste, allowing a full move with no AOP, an extra attack and bite (but not all three), all while regenerating 20 hp and restoring hp from draining the PCs. I can't wait to try a full-on...

That's what I ran. If you uncover some cool encounters in that 200-page Expedition beast, please share. I bought it half price in a Halloween sale but 200 pages might as well be 2,000. I just don't have time to read it.
