My party did this, they actually made two forays into Bleak Gate before things got real (both between books #4 and #5). I used this as an opportunity to showcase the huge preparedness and resources of the Ob – but also the fact that they're not almighty and aren't prepared for every eventuality...

Fun story time: on the Isle of Odiem in adventure 4 (Always on Time), my group's (already pretty heavily wounded) Halfling Gunslinger/Paladin actually tried to get to Ottavia on top of her tower with the help of some Buoyant Balloons. Hilarious mental image already. I warned him that he would be...

My constables actually talked about this and arrived at the conclusion that, while Ekossigan's goals more or less chime with their own, they cannot let him live for three reasons: 1) He is a murderer, killing a boy and the druids at the orphanage, and 2) the king ordered them to execute him as a...

My group planned to use the lantern for a raid on the Cauldron Hill complex in Bleak Gate, as well. Also before the adventure called on them to go. However, since I moved the Kell investigation up to take place in between Always on Time and Cauldron Born (playing it out in the form of a...

In 3.5, I can find no reference to (Su) abilities being dispellable, neither under the description of supernatural abilities in general (it outright says they're not subject to Dispel Magic), nor in the spell description.

At level 1, Clerics can make flesh knit itself back together after injury (Cure Light Wounds). At level 3, Clerics can cure hangovers (Lesser Restoration), as well as the blindness caused by that bootleg gin (Remove Blindness/Deafness). At level 5, Clerics can cure any and all diseases (Remove...

Sorry for the necro, but since I recently came to think about this awesome content once more: does anybody have a saved version of any of these threads? Because for all of Endarire's great compilation work, none of the links is functional anymore... :.-(

Nah, that's more Rock Rackus (whom my group soooo hates with a passion bordering on murderous intent!).

This list might get you started.

Veeery few things I hate about 5E. Actually, I believe I don't really hate anything about it. I do find some things bland, under-ruled, misplaced, and especially, overpriced, but all in all, it's a fine system, which allowed me to reel in new players (my own seven-year-old among them! Yay!), who...

Only saw this thread now, this is great, you're a filker, Danny? I have two filkers in my gaming group (one of them was even nominated for several Pegasus awards)! Filkers in Germany are about as common as astronauts...

Barghest's Feast. Quite thorough, but 50% chance a True Resurrection, Wish or Miracle still work. Better option might be to turn baddy to stone, shrink item, keep somewhere safe.

So true. (been wanting to do this for years! Yay!)

This is our Halfling Gunslinger/Paladin, who is known for his crazy stunts. The player is actively looking into getting stuff done in the most awe-inspiring way possible, not necessarily in the most efficient. Earns him quite a bit of grit, which helps to compensate the crazy sometimes. But...
