Fiendish Codex II next month--Any scoop/rumors/etc.?

[Ripzerai]

Chemosh can be CE and live wherever the FC says he does.

Chemosh is lawful evil in all editions of the game. Not all gods match the alignment of the plane in which they dwell.

Takhisis' realm in Baator is called Abthalom.

 

[Dragonhelm]

People who like Soth in Ravenloft have him there, people who like Takhisis == Tiamat can have that, and Chemosh can be CE and live wherever the FC says he does. DL can ignore that all it wants for its own purposes, and do what it wants with its own pantheon and cosmology. It's a great compromise.

Agreed and agreed, Clark.

(And please note my earlier comments are all in good fun.)

I'm a fan of both Dragonlance and Spelljammer. When I play Dragonlance, it has a separate cosmology. When I play Spelljammer, Dragonlance is connected. And yes, I do believe that Takhisis equals Tiamat, Paladine equals Bahamut, and Soth went to Ravenloft. At the same time, I keep campaign worlds separate these days.

So that's my self-contradictory answer for the day. Join us next week, for another exciting upisode of Huh---wha...?

BTW, that Hellfire Warlock looks sweet! Who did the art?

That's gotta be Baxa. He's one of the more distinctive of current DnD artists.

 

[demiurge1138]

Am I mistaken, or does the Hellfire Warlock do his regular eldritch blast damage, *+2d6 per hellfire warlock lvl*????

That would seem to imply that if he's a Warlock 10/Hellfire Warlock 10, by lvl 20, his blast is doing somewhere upwards of 24d6 or 25d6....but at the cost of a constitution point.

Is that true?

No, because it's only a three level prestige class.

Demiurge out.

Even if I did run an SJ game I would keep the Cosmologies separate. The Dragonlance Deities are too good(or evil, or neutral) for all those deities in the Great Wheel.

Not sure I'm understanding - all editions of Planescape? He's NE in Dragonlance's view of things.

Not that it really matters, as long as whatever setting rules you're using are consistent.

He was Lawful Evil in both Dragonlance Adventures and in the Planescape sourcebook On Hallowed Ground. Where is he described as NE?

Where is he described as NE?

Dragonlance Campaign Setting for 3.5, and also in Holy Orders of the Stars (the divine caster handbook for DL 3.5) from Sovereign Press.

Like I said before, though, it's really a minor point, as there's no real necessity for multiverse/Great Wheel fans and DL purists to use the same information.

True enough, but the bizarre part is that it contradicts the specifically Dragonlance material from 1st edition. They're not required to be consistent with Planescape, Spelljammer, or Ravenloft, but you'd think they'd be consistent at least with stuff from their own setting.

You've never been a Dragonlance fan, have you?
