Dragon #302

Thanks for supporting us with the content Dark Psion!

I have a question...i am interested in the Tainted PrC you mentioned:

Could ya give some examples of abilities gained (descriptions not game mechanics)? I am reffering to the melee progression in particular....

I just got mine! Man this subscription was the best idea ever. It's like getting crack delivered to my door.

zdanboy, there's a few tainted PrCs. So the warrior one advances different from the cleric one. They seem to get things called fiendish power that depends on the nature of the fiend you are falling towards. So a succubus tainted gets "change self" while a vrock tainted gets "darkness" and "mirror image". Looks cool.
 

Call me crazy, but I really am surprised by this issue. Whereas I normally get the magazine and flip through it once or twice, then add it to the pile, this one strikes me as really good. There's a good number of articles I'm interested in reading, and heaven help me, I may actually spend an hour or two reading Dragon Magazine. Nice work! This issue makes up for issue #300 (to me).

If I listed them all I might crash the server ;)

Basically it develops in several levels, a Physical Change and a Fiendish Power.
For example, for a Marilith;

Power I: Ambidexterity & Two Wepon Fighting
Physical I: Scales on body

Power II: Animate Dead & Inflict Serious Wounds 1/day
Physical II: Grow a Third Arm

Power III: Teleport without Error 1/day
Physical III: Legs become a serpent's tail

Power IV: Bestow Curse 5/day

It includes a listing for most of the Demons, Devils and Yugoloths, enougth to guide you in creating stats for other denizens.
 

The entire issue is good, no argument.

But far and away the best piece in the magazine is the little 2.5 page article by Mike Mearls about customizing magic. This article has just become 100% required reading for anyone who ever wants to play a spellcaster in one of my campaigns. From now on. Ever.

Mike, you have been added to my pantheon of patron Loa, and you may expect the sacrifice of a small rooster on the next full moon. :D

What? WHAT?!? You can't be serious! I take it you weren't aware that Dragon was going down the toilet. ;)

LOL!

Yes, it's an good issue. Lots of interesting stuff. I really like the Tainted Prestige Classes. Gave me tons of ideas right off the bat.

Go Dragon!

Wow! Thanks, I really appreciate the comments. Keep in mind that I also accept cash donations in addition to roosters. =)
