[*]Intrigue in the Summertime With the new Eberron setting out this month, we look at some hooks for introducing intrigue into your campaign. You can, of course, use them in any campaign world where the cities are large… and often corrupt.
[*] Skill Challenges on the Battlefield Last month I presented some advice on using a skill challenge for large scale battles. This month, it's time to show off an example. As with the last sample skill challenge I created, this one describes skill DCs as hard, moderate, or easy, as per the table of DCs on page 42 of the Dungeon Master's Guide.
