Description: A large imposing figure who bears a large scythe. His facial features can not be made out in the hooded cloak he wears. It is reminiscent of a wolf. He appears to be wearing hide armor and carries a longbow strapped to his back. He is a rather grim man searching for his sister who went missing around these parts. An old gypsy woman told him to come when five met on a full moon whee a skull chewed a rose. So he arrived at the Deadly Rose and set about his business killing the patrons. In my Ravenloft PbeM game, the PCs all met at a inn called the deadly rose. There were four of them there. He needs to get to his sister and he was told killing the patrons would open the way.

Used the DMG Variant pg 96. Druids summon allies as per their element. Cleric summon Celestial (if they are good), Infernal (if they are evil) and if they worship a god of an element, they can use the elemental template from MotP. They may also use the Chaotic and Axiom templates depending on their god. They must pick one though.

Not overly important, but when computing NPC wealth, I think Monte, SKR, or Skip once said that the discounts for alignment, class, etc. don't really apply when the NPC meets the requirement.

As I said, not overly important.

I love the intelligent hat.

Could you tell us a little more about the backstory of the characters?

 

[Angelsboi]

Well the gnome was for a contst. The druid however i have posted his stry =)

Ah, I missed the part about evil gnome contests.

I wonder what circumstances you could have a truly evil gnome like that in a campaign?

In my current one, there is a gnome illusionist ... named Jabeddo. He's come across a very minor artifact, a reanimation scepter. Essentially, it reanimates skeletons, but for each hit die of skeletons that it does so, it does 1d10 points of damage to the bearer of the staff.

Nonetheless, no one takes a gnome seriously amongst the other players. They've never be able to deal with an evil arch villain gnome.

Which could work to a gnome's advantage, I do think.
