Shilsen's Eberron SH (Finished - The Last Word : 9/20/15)

[shilsen]

To be fair, the DC is 30 plus the level of the spell. Does Shilsen make you make the spellcraft check to do your summons? If so, Alienist must have been a painful choice prior to your current vaunted level of power.

Nope. And I actually had completely forgotten about the 30 + spell level rule until you reminded me. Not that I would ever have used it with the alienist. It's arguably a weak PrC, and I've done a couple of things to beef it up (allowing summoning of the non-templated creatures on the SM lists too, replacing Toughness with Improved Toughness), and the Spellcraft check would have been a serious step backwards.

Pardon my ignorance, but I only recently got roped into the storyhour (courtesy of Shilsen's plundering of enworld's collective deprativty).

You know, I never considered the advertising aspect of those threads. I should remember that. And if you have any questions about rules or interpretations I'm using, or anything else going on in the campaign and story hour, feel free to ask.

Whatever happened to Bodo? That streetsmart kid Gareth took under his wing?

Edit: These are the questions that keep me up at night...

He's still around off-camera. Gareth enrolled him a while ago in the school run by the Cathedral of the Silver Flame and also as a novice. Poor kid really took to it badly, but Gareth had him meet Cedric at one point, which helped a lot. When the Archierophant was sending messages to the Angels, Bodo was the delivery boy a couple of time, and the last real thing he did in the game was when he charged his classmates for info about where the Angels would be so that they could follow the famous heroes around. Bodo was a fun NPC. He was one of the many in the campaign who was just a random NPC the PCs met whom I had no plans for beyond the current moment, but whom they took a shine to and I developed over time. Kylian is another one.

Edit: These are the questions that keep me up at night...

And I stay awake working out under what circumstances a CR 4 critter could get +20 to hit, what the carrying capacity of an undead wyvern is, and precisely what could Mordain have done to my PCs. It's all perfectly understandable

Is Eberron a normal planet?

You could stick Nameless in some sort of temporal stasis- and launch him into space with some permanent flame on him to keep him being propelled away from Eberron.

Sure, eventually he'll hit something and die- but that'll just open up a portal to Xoriat in the dark realms of space, by the time the creatures make it to Eberron, you and all your kids will be dead! (Maybe not Six).

Actually, this is the perfect idea. Mordain could give him grafts to make him stronger than steel, too, to protect him from harm.
Just make sure you send him off in a red and blue blanket.

::chuckles:: It's SuperTentacle!!!

Faster than a speeding bullet (cause you don't want him to stay in one place too long)!

Yea I've thought about Bodo a few times but we keep running into things that keep us busy. I was actually worried about him. Remind me to have Gareth ask about him

You guys are all nuts! And I love it

Sure. And I've got a perfect way to re-introduce him next session. Knowing him, I wouldn't worry. He's probably making money selling fake autographs from the Angels and getting weapon shards from a blacksmith and passing them off as shards of Kizmet

One thing about Bodo that never showed up in the story hour since it was a purely OOC comment was Dave's player opining more than once that if I really wanted to be a bastard, I should have them find out that Bodo and Kylian were actually the same person. That was a standing joke for a while. The PCs have never seen the two of them in the same place, since Gareth refused to take Bodo along to any of their meetings with Kylian, even though Bodo begged them to do so more than once and Luna offered to do so. Also, completely coincidentally of course, Kylian has never, ever mentioned Bodo, though he's mentioned all sorts of other aspects of the Angels' contacts, lives and activities.

Argh! As next posting will make clear, we are back to square one with respect to Bodo, Kylian and the rest of Sharn.

When your RBDM with a heart of gold says: 'And I've got a perfect way to...', you know you should have kept your mouth shut.

I will also be the first person to mention that Mordain is not human. He's an elf, abliet an ancient, super-modified, gonna-spread-Bizzaro-clones-of-the-Angels-all-over-the-place elf. Granted, it's not really an improvement, but it is an improvement, isn't it? You're guarunteed to have encounters that will actually give you XP!

...Granted, it's not really an improvement, but it is an improvement, isn't it? You're guarunteed to have encounters that will actually give you XP!

Actually it isn't. Shil hands out XP on a per session not per encounter basis. One of these days we're going to carry through on our threat to spend the entire session locked in a room with spells prepared to blast anything that bothers us...
