[QUOTE="Bleys Icefalcon, post: 5977099, member: 6670542"] Turn it into your plan. How can you easily modify what you've created thus far - for our earnest adventurers to actually NEED this extra firepower? Change some, if not all of the encounters to be cold/ice based creatures. And make some of them stupid dangerous. Force it to charge through multiple Walls of Fire just to GET to the PCs - and by this point the creature in question might just be weakened enough due to the flames for them to have a fighting chance. - or - The Machine of Lum the Mad. In my gaming universe, I have modified the Machine to have several "holes" or various sizes (Wand, Rod and Staff sized to be exact) at various places throughout the apparatus. When a the suitable item is inserted into the hole, it is drained of all magic - and for THAT person, they gain utter control of the device for a single use. [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_of_Lum_the_Mad]Machine of Lum the Mad - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/url] The Machine's best description imho still resides in the original DMG. Your party might leap at the chance to control this potent Relic (however brief) at the expense of a mere wand. [/QUOTE]
