Yes. Yes, I'm quite sure. Shudder.
Some of the other ideas you guys have are quite brilliant, though! In no particular order:
- I'm definitely going with a fungus theme. I think the stands will use giant mushrooms for awnings, and Akin himself will still be wandering around after these ten years - a mold-covered fungal intelligence living in a former adventurer's body. He doesn't say anything, he just wanders and observes, and everyone stays clear of him.
- I'll probably pass on the calliope. It's a cool image, but too anachronistic for my own game. I do intend to have steam. The dripping stalagtites is a nice touch, too. As for music... very cool, interesting idea. I'll have to think about it. The Voice of the King might be too good to pass up, though.
- Spatz, good thought on the tremorsense, but I don't think I want my PCs getting ahold of something like that! Yeek.
- Kaodi, what +ECL does the "of legend" template add? I'll probably end up shooting for something around CR 21-22 or so if the PCs head in that direction. If you're doing something for your own fun, though, I'd love to see it!
- I'll pass on the albino drow - the halflings are getting the albino treatment - but a kuo toa fishmonger has such delightful possibilities. Especially if he's a spy for the ghouls.
- Med stud, I can't do that, but the idea of Nolin acquiring some groupies may be too good to pass up. Especially because he's going up a level, and that means more followers for his leadership feat.
- Nice engraving. *grin*
- Sewage. Hrmmm. Err. Ummm. Fascinating...?
Hee hee... thanks! I'll have an update posted tomorrow, and I'll be using some of this Thursday. I can't wait!

So- are you gonna wrap up your campaign after the White Kingdom??

Legend
Kuo Toa of Legend
Not sure what the +ECL is, and it is getting late so I will check it tomorrow. An alternate idea I had was to make the Kua Toa a Divine Agent instead of a Cleric, which would fit more with the fact that it is a Monster of Legend in the first place. If you are looking at CR 22 tops, I will see if I can cook up something for that level, I can always mix in some fighter levels with the divine agent idea. The only thing I am still thinking on is what to make the weapon, because an Unholy Shock Pincer Staff wouldn't do much damage to undead (which I assume would be the Kuo Toa's enemies as well).

The CR adjustment is +2 which is just plain wrong for something protected by spell turning and haste at all times. The ECL with that and the stat adjustments would be hideous. I'd put it at ECL +8 at first glance, maybe as much as +12 because of the fast healing and natural armor and miscellaneous benefits.

The kuo toa are allied with the undead.
I don't know when I'm wrapping up the game. Eight months ago, I said in a year! So much for that plan. I guess we'll finish when (a) we're done, and (b) we're not having fun or finding it challenging. My guess? About a year from now, when Velendo and Tao hit 20th lvl and Nolin is 21st-22nd. That's probably about right.
As you'll see, the crap is about to hit the fan, and there are going to be a lot of loose ends floating around.

I hope you keep having fun with the Defenders for EVAR! They're great, and an epic-level game that actually starts from first level would be super sweet and much more 'realistic' in terms of character developement and such than all the epic games I've seen (which generally start at epic levels and let you buy up all the stuff you need to totally optimize; that's not very likely how a character played from first level would be!)
So who hit 20th level already, just Nolin?
