[QUOTE="Seravin, post: 1179330, member: 6783"] [b]Random thoughts strike again...[/b] Just finished a major milestone of the conversion process. Next it's onto the Shaboath. Should be fun. :) Things to consider in Book III. 0. Teleport. Will you allow it? Or do what they do in the Forgotten Realms and allow a 1 mile range? 1. The Fire Giants - They came to the rift from somewhere. Where was it? If the king's son dies by lava, and the big guy shows up, who is it? An avatar? A proxy? A 15HD Fire Giant with 15 levels of Barbarian might get the party's attention. 2. Sunkenhome - Is it really a drow city? I've always envisioned it as a better place for a Rockseer city. Perhaps as the place they fled to when the drow and the elves went at it. But eventually the Rockseers went too far. They consorted with dark creatures - perhaps even Jubilex and eventually ended up sinking their own home. The survivors fled to the caves where the ropers are and that strange crystal statue. Even from there they had to flee though to where they currently live. Try this link [URL=http://www.enworld.org/forums/showthread.php?p=1179318#post1179318]here[/URL] to see what I did for current banshee. I'm tempted to raise her to 18th lvl though. 3. Isle of Shadows. What do these creatures do all day? I think there's some great role-playing opportunities here. They're plotting for the eventually decay of everything. Might they be possible allies for the party against the aboleth? Nothing overt - but perhaps a spell or two. Who knows? They've been dead so long they're thought processes are certain to be alien. If they're not destroyed they could be the source of more adventures. Also, if you have access to the Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil, check out the Doomdreamer prestige class and the Insanity domain. 4. Szandur. She has an ally who can cast Contingency on her. Additionally, she doesn't have access to teleport in her spellbook, so someone may have gotten her to her island. My conversion of her gave her Craft (trapmaking) because of her little retreat. Perhaps she supplements her time as a trapmaker? 5. If you haven't already, pick up and look through Underdark. It has some potentially cool stuff that could be applicable. It's almost a must-have sourcebook in my mind. 6. The aboleth have other slave routes. Where do they come out in the Sunless Sea? I'm guessing at least one on the other side from where the party enters. 7. My players got the map for the Sunless Sea from the Rockseers last week. They immediately pegged on the fact that Shaboath seems to be an island - but Aljayera still thinks its underwater at this point. I had to do some fast backtracking. Perhaps it's just an island near the city, not actually the city itself. 8. Finally, the map of Shaboath is nothing but this huge oval with a number of scattered buildings. No streets. Nothing. It needs to be fleshed out. I'm going to try my hand at it, but if somebody has already done something I'd be deeply appreciative. /end random thoughts. [/QUOTE]
