Ashen Covenant - DDI Orcus Cult Article

[Hawke]

Sure makes me want my group to level so I can use some of the tougher bad guys here!

Edit: Actually, scratch that. Just noticed that the original adventure is still available, so I can read for myself if cultists are involved.

Not only is the original still available, but I did a 4E conversion that should be available eventually.

That's awesome.

We know they were going to do some conversion of recent books, like Elder Evils. Is it safe to guess that recent Online Dungeon adventures will be converted to 4e as well?

I wonder when the conversion notes for that will come out.... I would love to plan a campaign arch based around a couple of those baddies.

Great article.

I love the fact that we have soo much new content out so soon. I don't usually read flavor as much as I used to, but it was great nonetheless.


....I love the idea of a self-proclaimed exarch. That's so cool ... its stolen, since Orcus isn't the god/demon I was planning on using as my heroic tier behind the scenes BBEG.

C.I.D.

Since getting the core books last week, I've been torn between running a Shadowfell campaign or a Elemental Chaos campaign (with the evil villain being either undead or elemental).

This article presents a very interesting idea about combining the two threats... The cult of Orcus plotting to reawaken a primordial, in the attempt to change the laws of nature! Very wicked.

Keep up the good articles. Im considering signing up for D&D insider if this is what it will be like.

Good show, Ari.

So... you got any Animate Dead rituals up your sleeve?

Heh. I'm afraid not. I'm still trying to work out how summoning/animating/other-ally-creating powers are likely to work in 4E.

Better figure it out before your Advanced Player's Guide is due.

Also, I thought I'd re-ask, because my gut still bugs me: Is it intentional that Wraithstrike weapons get such a low enhancement bonus compared to other weapons of similar level?
