Dragonmarked

[Vocenoctum]

Didn't notice any posts about it, I got it yesterday and have read a bit. So far it's a fun read. The entries for the Houses aren't terribly detailed, but they're informative and give information for using them in game. Each house gets a PrC, most of which were full of ideas for me. Feats are good, including Aberrant Marks of lesser and greater variety.

Overall I like it, but won't have the chance to do any in depth info until the Gears of War crank to an ending.

Is there an index?

Is there really a feat that allows you to ignore the Dazed and/or Stunned condition?

Thanks, -- N

There's a feat that mimics continuous foresight.

It is on my "to buy" list, without question. From what I've heard, the take on Gallianda (sp?) alone is well worth the price of the book.

What are the goods for House Lyrandar?

 

[Vocenoctum]

Index: no

Ignore Stunned/Dazed: Mark of the Dauntless, cannot be stunned/dazed, can remove the condition from another with Standard action & touch.

House Lyranders gets the normal write-up, plus Storm Sentry (PrC, improved gust of wind & wind related stuff, warrior type), Storm Riposte feat (spend 1 AP to attack foe that just attacked you, deal extra sonic or electric damage), Stormrider (reroll balance 1/day, take 10 on balance checks, gain resistance to electricity & sonic)

Ignore Stunned/Dazed: Mark of the Dauntless, cannot be stunned/dazed,...

That's pretty ugly when combined with the celerity spells from PHBII...

I get the impression that they didn't feel folks were embracing the Dragonmarks, finding the spell not worth the feat, so they escalated it a little bit. I'm not thinking they're too powerful as is, though a DM needs to watch them, but not sure they'll really increase Mark use either. I think the problem with Dragonmarks is the lack of feats overall. My players don't really get behind the Houses though, I gave each of them a free dragonmark and 3 of 5 took Aberrants. Only one really feels like the Houses matter, and even he has the wrong house for what he is. (Mark of Finding for a more Cannith type, an artificer. Even going Wand Master Guy.)
