[QUOTE="GruTheWanderer, post: 336059, member: 3119"] [b]Awesome stuff[/b] Hey Sepulchrave, You had better submit these to the ME site, or the Colonel and I will never forgive you. Let one of us know when you think they are ready. For everyone's information, the site will get an update today. The Colonel's conversion of Saruman the Many-Colored, Andy Simpson's thoughts on a Middle Earth campaign, and Takeda Mataroshi's take on orcs and goblins. I'm also going to update the links page with links to all the recent EN World Middle Earth threads (Aragorn's battle on Weathertop, Boromir's last battle, LOTR RPG thoughts, Roleplaying in Middle Earth). I haven't contributed any content since my ME campaign ended in May, but I'm throwing around some ideas. Someone once contributed an article to the old boards about the power of the voice in Middle Earth (evidenced when Frodo cries "Elbereth" or anyone else cries out the name of their homeland or ancestors). I don't remember all the times it happens, but even evil creatures seem to grow stronger in these situations (similar to a bard inspiring their allies). Does anyone have a copy of this article around (I think it was written by Orcus)? I was thinking of creating three feats, and these are the rough thoughts. Comments welcome. Shout of the Homelands prereq: History (local) +4 effect: inspire allies, bless? Shout of the Ancestors prereq: History (local) +8 effect: cause fear, aid? Shout of the Valar prereq: History (Valar) +4, must be good aligned effect: protection from evil, divine favor? For each of these, I need to choose a single ability and limit the number of uses per day. The uses could either be level-based (like Heroic Surge from WOT) or based on an ability score modifier (like Rage). I'm tempted to use Cha as the relevant ability. Later, Derek [/QUOTE]
