Scarred Lands: Ask the Sage [New and Improved!]

[Nightfall]

I'm not interested on who (real world) made the template, but on what is that Seraphic Engine and who (in Scarn) is responsible for it.

Like I said, no clue. I guess it has something to do with creating inherent creatures of some power for the Divine War and I guess all the gods made them. I could be wrong but that's my speculation. I'm reasonable sure SLCS: Asherak will probably provide more definitive answers to your questions.

Nightfall,
No problem, I just wanted to make sure that I didn't come off sounding official when I'm not. I'll save that for Andrew or perhaps the actual author who submitted that piece. (I really can't recall right now.)
But I love this book (SotA) so I always try to be right in the mix to help clear up any confusions or questions.

Well your input is valued. I mean you DID work on the book a little. But I can understand wanting either Andrew or perhaps Will and/or Ben saying something. That being said I hope you did some contributions to Edge or was it Echoes you did work on?

Keep this from moving off the page...

Fenrilik?

This has probably been asked before, but what do we know of Fenrilik? I've seen it mentioned in various places, but I never got what the main "flavour" would be. (Note: English spelling of "flavor" used to give impression that Torillan is smarter than he looks )

Chaotic Good monkey people Chardun banished to lands most cold for being, well, Chaotic and Good. Stupid merciful monkeys.

The open call for Creature Collection IV also stated that they didn't particularly want Norse-inspired monsters.

However, seeing as how the place is named Fenrilik, I don't believe that necessarily means it will lack Norse-flavoring so much as they just wanted a bit more originality to be offered up in their beasties.

I'd also figure at least a little bit more info on the demigoddess Fraelhia.

 

[Glaurung]

More to the point, can you enlighten me on the Seraphic Engine? What is it, what was its role, who made it, etc.

The Seraphic Engine is involved with Asherak and will be detailed in full in an upcoming book. That's it, you can now begin your speculation.

 

[Taelorn76]

just curious but when can we expect SLCS: Asherak.

Hi, I did the Asaatthi subraces... I don't know how it appears in the book, but the intent was to provide tweaks from the standard. That is, assume 3 racial hit dice. Apologies for lacking feats and skills, but again, assume the standard. There were some tight space constraints, so I tried to be as economical as possible. CR shouldn't be tremendously different, though I'd adjust the misbred CR modifier to race +1 (I had set it as +3, which is silly), and a CR of 2 for the Lowest ones.

My estimation was that similar spellcasting levels stack. That is, normal Asaatthi + 5 wizard levels casts as an 8th level wizard, though only has 1 bonus feat and 5 levels toward a familiar.

Well it's icy, cold, and probably about as homey as Cania. But I side with trick in that it will have some Norse Elements but I feel it will favor more Russian/Slavic stuff. So large ice castle will be the norm.

Taelron,

No idea but some time in 2004 would be my guess. Probably 3rd/4th Quarter.

Will,

Thanks for the input man! I appreciate it.
