Message: <blockquote data-quote="Staffan" data-source="post: 1750157" data-attributes="member: 907">I actually liked the Complete Priest's Handbook, but that might be my DM side talking. I liked the priesthood templates - OK, they were terribly generic, but it was a great improvement over the PHB with just the genericleric and the druid. The priesthoods could have used a little power boost, but the book was right in its main idea that the cleric was overpowered.As for sucky, the thing that comes to mind is "Black Flames", a Dark Sun adventure for 3rd level characters. The plot can basically be summed up as this (spoilerized):[spoiler] <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">PCs are travelling through the desert when a sandstorm hits.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">PCs are found by Fakharu, a 22nd level dragon (wizard/psionicist with some draconic traits, for those who don't know Dark Sun)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Fakharu tells them "Go to the oasis of Black Waters and explore the ruins there, and get me the McGuffin. I can't go there myself because there's a powerful spell there that makes me blind."</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">PCs go there, there's some zombie and/or skeleton fighting, and find McGuffin.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">PCs return to Fakharu, who then demands to be lead to other thingy in the ruins.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Abalach-Re, Sorcerer-Queen of Raam shows up. She and Fakharu fight. PCs try to stay out of the way of two blind level 21+ wizard/psionicists who toss spells around.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">I think there may have been something about cleansing the oasis of Black Waters as well from the ancient curse on it.</li> </ul>[/spoiler]I may be misremembering details, but that's more or less correct. Too bad the name can easily be confused with "Black Spine", which is a pretty good high-level Dark Sun adventure involving planar stuff.</blockquote>
