You could use the fleshcrafter dark magi class (dragon magazine 312, page 28 ) as starting point or powers’ comparison. From what I can tell he is the kind of magic user responsible for creatures such as the owlbear (like the Vitomancer from the Bloodshadows game). Maybe a necromancer in statistics ...

No problem. Don't be shy about your project I'm sure we're all really interested in what you'll come up with I have been looking for some kind of exercise to shake the rust of my hands and do some experimentation with page layout & textures, so I thought: why not give Quoth the Raven Issue #1 a...

I was referring to column widths and gap sizes. I wanted to avoid eye-balling (I am using a page layout program that exports to pdf and I have to set the guide lines for text frames and pictures manually).

Netbook and Gazetteer Page Layout?

Can anyone provide me with the specifics for the Page Layout (or the template being used) for Quoth the Raven and the Gazetteers?
Thanks!

The definition of “Psionics” (for psionics-using monsters) in the MM (Pg. 313) does state that they are spell-like abilities that originate from one’s own mind power. Spell-like is detectable by detect magic, right?

Roll d% One hundred ideas for the Sea (as per DMG) 1. A ship returns from an expedition with its whole crew turned to crimson bones. After dealing with the murderous undead the noble that financed the expedition is organizing a second one 2. A noble lord’s expedition returns, bringing with them stra...

Avoiding Lycanthropic Pandemics

To avoid lycanthropic pandemics and to rationalize several oddities (like the Quevari) I have made the following adjustments to lycanthropy IMC : Natural lycanthropes all begin their lives as Weretouched, AKA Shifters (as in Eberron Campaign) and remain so until becoming infected by an Elder (usuall...

There is an article for urban druids in Dragon magazine (issue 317 pg. 30) if you want to take Isabella’s suggestion a bit further and another one with four variants in issue 311(pg. 54) Other possibilities (albeit exotic ones) include Sri Raji, Souragne and Vorostokov (the winter warden from issue ...

Strange sights of the Sea #5 The Iron Manta: its beaming lights are visible from beneath the surface and the waters boil around it as it moves to strike. Most people claim it is a vehicle of short operated by a fiendish captain and his hellish crew. Those that know better will tell you that it is a ...

(Undead) Shadow Template wanted!

Has anyone given a try to a "Shadow Creature" template? I only found an "official" one for shadow creatures native to the Plane Of Shadow (not undead).

And we're playing Mage: The Ascension again. If you dig it, go for it. I just really can't get much enthusiasm up for the concept. Ok! My comment was only meant as a starting place; Playing “Mage : The Ascension” has nothing to do with playing Ravenloft (I agree with you 100%)! The image I had in m...

Strange sights of the Sea #4 Captain Kelp: beware of his half-sunken ship, for it is little more than a crypt of wood, salt and seaweed! The descendants of his bloodthirsty men roam about the wreck like seawolves, loyal but feral to the core. And as for the man himself, he has long joined the ranks ...

Now that’s a Baron Eversong!!!!!

I am referring to Forte from “Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas”. The film is basically a lousy commercial direct-to-video-release # 2. The idea, however, for the animated church organ and its powers would be great for the Darklord. It's not a harpsichord, but those are some bardic music...
