New Underdark book

The new Underdark book has some stuff that hasn't happened yet.

In particular, the sections on Chaulssin, Ched Nasad, Gracklstugh, Maerimydra, Mantol-Derith, and Menzoberanzan include War of the Spider Queen info that your characters would not know.

Feel free to buy or read the book. Just remember that your character doesn't know any of the things that havn't happened yet.

Likewise, for the war of the Spider Queen novels, we have finished book 1. And we're basically at the beginning of book 2 right now.

And now, when Quertus is probably Dominated he would be worse than dead if he had not re-joined us. Now on the other hand he will probably kill us all. :rolleyes:
Bah, they would need to have 10 or more levels of Sorcerer to pull that of. I'm not saying that they couldn't, but I slightly doubt it... I really need a Mind Blank.

But yes, we'd better hope that he's not dominated. :D

Ki'Willis was able to target the spell/psionic effect that is affecting Quertus (without impacting Quertus's own spells), however she thinks her driftdisc failed to dispel whatever is affecting Quertus.
Does Quertus know that she failed to dispel it? And doesn't Dariel have initiative bonus of +11, how come he got 10?

I'm not certain, since Illithids are not in the SRD, but I think they get Dominate as a spell like ability.

Cool, I was going to ask if anyone picked it up yet... How was it? I don't need an in-depth review, but knowing that you really like the underdark I value your opinion. So on a scale of 1-5 how good is it? :)
 

Somehow I missed the initiative and just saw the dex modifier (+7). So your init is now 14.

Uhm, I'll wait with stating my action until Endur did his.

Btw, how did I end up at 10 with a +11?
 

My favorite part of the book is the exploring the underdark section and the geography section. It has a good geography map and nice descriptions of the various cities and places in the Underdark. It has a good description of the different layers of the Underark, Upper underdark, Middle underdark, lower underdark and the types of flora and fauna present. A lot of this is rehashed from prior editions, but it is still a very good description.

The new feats, PRCs, spells, monsters, equipment, and magic items are typical, nothing special.

Earth Nodes is a type of magic I havn't seen in the FR before. You can get multiple feats to allow you to cast more powerful spells near an earth node(increasing your caster level by the power of the earth node).

I might use a couple of the monsters and magic items in our campaign. Also, they have stats for the Crown Prince Horlbar Steelshadow, Laral, and some of the other NPCs you have met (as well as having some minor spoilers regarding the future fate of some of these NPCs).

A summoned monster (summon monster spell) can be dispelled with Dispel Magic. Because the creature isn't fully here on the material plane, it can not really be killed (although killing it prevents it from being able to travel to this plane for a certain period of time, perhaps even the rest of its life).

A called creature (gate spell, paladin's mount) is actually physically here. If you kill it, its dead. It can not be dispelled through the use of Dispel Magic. Certain spells such as Dismissal (or Dispel Good) can be used to send it back to its home plane.
