We haven't actually heard much about the Harpers in Raven's Bluff. As long as the main evils in the region were mostly temporal they thought it best to do good in secrecy. But the problems with fiends have gone on long enough that they've decided to act a little more openly. If you're in need of their particular brand of heroism, get in contact with Ehrandil and he'll pass on your info to whoever's available and the right level for the challenge. Of course, there's a reason they act in secrecy, as all this do-gooding not only makes them a lot of enemies among the evil organisations of the Realms, but also Lawful Good ones who disagree with their methods. The temple of Tyr, already recently censured by the city for their overzealousness, have decided not to reflect on what led to their embarrassment and change their ways, but double down on the lawful dickishness and stymie the Harpers wherever possible. This gives you plenty of interesting roleplaying opportunities if you favor one of these or the other in upcoming adventures. Evil PC's may still be banned around here, but maybe we can let a little more PvP tension in without breaking the game.It's a good month in general for people who want intrafaith conflict in their roleplaying. The temple of Lathander was in full on civil war for reasons yet unknown. Somewhat less mysterious is the realisation that they haven't been properly tracking name level druids and their challenges. All 11th level+ druids need to to make themselves known to the admins so they can fight and establish a proper pecking order. One high up druid has already been killed (he got better afterwards), so the competition could get pretty vicious. Are you ready to fight as red in tooth & claw as you need too to keep those high levels, or will you stay at 11 & dual class to skip the stress?The delving of the underdark continues slowly. Still haven't found the orb of protection, but the supply chain is holding and they've settled an outpost. Another IC wedding took place attended by their various adventuring companions, somewhat delayed by the bride having being turned into a unicorn in a recent adventure. Nothing too surprising in either of those. There is still one bit of very weird news that needs following up on. A man in a silver mask has been touching people, at which point they get turned into silver mist and absorbed into his body. He must have some pretty powerful magic to paralyse everyone in the vicinity and do this in public without being stopped. Why those specific people, and who else is on his absorb list? Very worrying.Living City Q&A: Are Silverstar’s bonuses to moon hand maces cumulative with their plusses? (yes)Does a staff of slinging have unlimited uses? (maybe, but it can’t create boulders from nothing, so it’s situationally dependent.)How does a holy sword's magic resistance work? (resistance works whenever it's drawn & held, dispelling requires a conscious action. )Do you add your dex bonus to AC when flying? (only if you're maneuverability class B or better)Can Levitate push an object down? (it can hold you on the ground, but it can't do any damage in the process.)Can a ranger be a berserker (yes, but watch you don't do anything too evil while berserking & lose your ranger status)How many charges does a bracelet of minor wishes have (4)Does immunity to fear protect you from Phantasmal Killers? (no)Will I at least get a bonus? (no)Can small creatures use a sunblade one-handed (no)Can restoration restore drained attribute points (yes, but it'll still cost ya in other ways.)Can you save proficiency slots for later? (not at 1st level)Do joydancers get an extra weapon proficiency at 6th level (yes)Can we clarify what a druid can turn into? (yes. You can't get around the size limits by turning into a baby version of an animal, nor can you turn into an animal of the opposite sex. Crossgender bestiality pregnancy shenanigans are right out! )If I get a better magic item in an adventure, can I give the old one to someone else? (only if they're present at the table)Does a magical longbow automatically give your full strength bonus as well? (no, the bonuses are independent.)Is Ice Storm cold or impact damage? (50/50. You need immunity to both for complete protection)What level is Lightning Reflection (more recent books trump older ones, so 5th.)What happens when loremasters specialise in wrestling? (they can modify their chart positions by 2)Do wizards abandon kits in the same way as other classes? (yes)Does wizardly reincarnation work the same way as priestly. (yes, apart from the creature selection. This includes losing class levels if they'd be illegal for your new race.)Can I be a specialty priest of Rillifane Rallathil? (no. He's not in the book, even though he was supposed to be. No apocrypha in our Living City, it's hard enough keeping track of all the lore as it is.)Do monks get extra attacks at higher level (no in this edition. Oh, but the next one…)Can I sub in ranger for fighter in multiclass options? (no, only the specific combinations in the PHB are allowed.)Can I wield a crossbow & dagger at the same time? (yes, but you can't reload once you've shot it)Can I keep nonmagical items from adventures that don't have certificates (only if they're listed in the PHB)Can I hold multiple touch spells at once and unleash them all on one hit (no)Can I activate a ring of shocking grasp & attack in the same round (no, it specifically says it works differently from the spell)Do all your items merge into you if you're shapeshanged into another humanoid (yes. Hope you prepared fitting ones to deal with your nudity.)Do I get ogre strength when I polymorph into an ogre (enough to move normally, but not enough to gain all the combat bonuses)Does a scarab of protection let you save against illusions when you wouldn't normally? (nope, as the spell isn't being cast on you, just nearby)Can I be an elven druid in Living City? (No. More stuff from supplements we have no interest in adding)</blockquote>
