Both entries were above average.Drunken MasterWhat was Good:Personality: I like Anya. "Hell hath no fury" indeed.Urban Decay and Pipes of Pain: What a great setting! I'm imagining the way such a location would look during its use -- the pipes and echos twisting the already-horrid screams of torture victims. Still, there's nothing decay-specific about it."Snake People": I suppose this could apply to The Viper as well as her ssserpant-massstersss. The psionic yuan-ti angle on the crystal blade is well done.Misread Prophecy & Conflict of Interest: Very nice, and very unexpected.What was Okay:Usefulness: She's got a very limited interaction with society, particularly good society. A group of PCs could meet her when she's sending out feelers for the "snake people", but what would they do besides fight?Crystal Blade: I would have liked more detail, more personality added to this item. However, it features in the excellent prophecy, thereby gaining a "synergy bonus". <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Stalker0What was Good:Crystal Blade: This is a blade with personality! IMO it's the most interesting part of this entry. Very good."Snake People": They figure heavily and deviously.Pipes of Pain: Interesting way to get him deaf.Personality & Usefulness: This is someone a DM could drop into many kinds of encounters. Of course, an encounter with him is likely to change his "future history" -- but that's probably better all around, given how grim his future looks. Giving his Atonement as a Paladin of Heironious' special quest would make for a very interesting non-combat encounter.What was Okay:Misread Prophecy: "Best friend"? I wouldn't say that Alkarai was Soranex's friend at all!What was Bad:Urban Decay: Urban Destruction perhaps ... where was the decay?Conflict of Interest: Deception isn't conflict.Drunken MasterIngredients:- Urban Decay: 5- Crystal Blade: 7- "Snake People": 7- Misread Prophecy: 10- Pipes of Pain: 9- Conflict of Interest: 9Personality: 13Usefulness: 8Total: 67Stalker0Ingredients:- Urban Decay: 3- Crystal Blade: 10- "Snake People": 7- Misread Prophecy: 7- Pipes of Pain: 8- Conflict of Interest: 2Personality: 14Usefulness: 13Total: 64Congradulations, Drunken Master! -- Nifft</blockquote>
