[QUOTE="RC Hagy, post: 1212811, member: 6164"] [B]Art/Monuments:[/B] Ghouls might skip pre-made art and, um... make their own with those who proved quite... troublesome. I can see the party being able to consult a framed 'living collage' or a ghoulish version of a victory monument made from the still moving 'melded and molded' captives. [B]Jewelry:[/B] [I]Illithid:[/I] Might enhance or even grant psionic powers... should be a little nasty to implement though. Plain jewelry might/should showcase how really alien they are. [I]Svirfneblin:[/I] Should not be recognized as valuable... Why should every mining/digging race feel the need to shape gems or metals (barring say, magic use or tool making)? Lots and lots of ore and uncut gems. [I]Everyone else:[/I] More has been done on the drow... Giants: Make it big... real big. :D Kobolds: lots of stuff appropriated from bigger folk mixed with religious relics. Some of the thieved items may be important cultural heirlooms of other races. [B]Unique Weaponry:[/B] A pick a 'cracking', great for collapsing tunnels. It could ignore hardness and 1x a day cast a localized [I]earthquake[/I], say ten foot radius, otherwise as per the spell. [I]Viral Claws:[/I] A little ghoulish invention. Infects one with negative energy. If the target dies with in a set period of time %chance of raising as a ghoul. If the target uses unarmed attacks they can pass said infection to others. [I]Kua-Toa Oil/Slime:[/I] Apply during full body massage. Make a grapple. Stick to opponent. Have lunch. [B]Books and Info:[/B] How many loose threads are hanging in your campaign? I say, just for fun, tease them with a modron tidbit or two. Some nasty prophecies about falling gods of death or what not. What if the Ghouls had a prophecy about the party (unless I forgot something and they already do. In which case some false info to scare them, say ghouls coming back 'more powerful then they could imagine!?!')? [B]History:[/B] What really happened to Sir Aleax? Confusion and Doubt! Confusion and Doubt! A crystal brain describing the illithids first foray into your world. What if the kobolds once were the masters of the dark? How far have they fallen... how high could they rise? [B]Magic:[/B] Something [I]old[/I]. Something [I]alien[/I]. Something that requires [I][B]bugs[/B][/I][B][/B]... lots and lots of bugs! Hagy Vermont [/QUOTE]
