Re: Fiend's reality wrinkle and 5th edition lair effects
Has anyone seen any corrupted Genies? Like a Grave Dao or Pyre Efreeti? (Sorry for the late answer, was absent from the forum for a while) DUDE. That is an AWESOME idea. I'll likely have to steal it (with your permission of course) for when I get to Pharazia and/or make an Arabian Nights-based Clus...

Re: Fiend's reality wrinkle and 5th edition lair effects
But in 3.5 they had no alignement subtype. :shock: Then what I said, does not apply to 3.5 Githyanki. Although I have asked the question in 2001 or 2002 I think, before 3.5. EDIT : 3.5 edition Githyanki are not even outsiders! they are extraplanar humanoids which for Ravenloft is the same as any ot...

Re: Fiend's reality wrinkle and 5th edition lair effects
Even Gith get reality wrinkles? Huh, that's wild, especially since they've never been treated as fiends otherwise. Would it be safe then to assume that other Outer Planes creatures such as Slaadi, Modrons, Formians, Inevitables, and the various types of celestials (screw you 4-5e for scrapping archo...

Re: Origin of Vistani, Ezra, Hala?
Different denominations of Christianity have been very intolerant and unforgiving at certain moments in space and time (looking at you, First Crusade, Spanish expulsions and inquisition, and Early Modern Wars of Religion), and as for Thay, a lot of their culture is reminiscent to some degree of Byza...

Re: Fiend's reality wrinkle and 5th edition lair effects
Huh, and here I thought that "native" fiends such as half-fiends and rakshasas didn't get reality wrinkles. I don't remember Arijani even been given one in any case.
As for Malocchio, he could be atypical in this, as he is in many other instances. But that's just me speculating.

Re: Origin of Vistani, Ezra, Hala?
So... no, I am very disillusioned. These are not Lone-wolf quality books. TBF the Lone Wolf series is arguably the zenith of gamebooks in terms of quality. I've read/played a LOT of gamebook series, and none were ever as good (though some like Fighting Fantasy came pretty darn close at times, and I...

Incredibly obscure lore found on Forgotten Realms wiki
So while doing a wiki crawl on the Forgotten Realms wiki I've managed to find some incredibly obscure Faerun-tied Ravenloft lore, which AFAIK isn't on Mistipedia: First, the Domains of Diomeria and Kirlanova, featured in the RPGA Living City adventure "The Dogs of War" from 1995(!); only i...

Re: Fiend's reality wrinkle and 5th edition lair effects
LOL thanks, I know that CR/levels get kinda borked when they go above 20th level, but I'll try anyway. The friend helping me is really good at this kind of stuff so that should be a big help. Also TBF in Savage Tide Demogorgon's stats are that powerful only if un-nerfed, and if the players did their...

Re: new Plot Hook
Makes sense, although if good-aligned magical compulsion should probably be unnecessary.

Re: Happy New Year
For the last few years around this time people start taking about “Lunar New Year”. Now what they really mean is Chinese New Year which is indeed based on a lunar calendar, but it is just one of many, all with a different New Year’s Day usually. Anyways is there more than one calendar in Ravenloft?...

Re: Fiend's reality wrinkle and 5th edition lair effects
Interesting ideas! I look forward to hearing more about them when they're ready, though I must ask: what do you mean by Gwydion's aims? I really don't recall him having any specific goals from his canon write-ups, other than lording over the ellefolk that became the Shadow Fey, and then him wanting...

Re: Fiend's reality wrinkle and 5th edition lair effects
Isn't Elena the Darklord? Aberration fits Gwydeon well too. They also don't get reality wrinkles. Elena is the Darklord of Nidala, Ebonbane is the Darklord of Shadowborn Manor (and, in some weird way, of the Phantasmal Forest, which from my understanding is peppered with the pseudo-pocket Domains o...

Re: Fiend's reality wrinkle and 5th edition lair effects
Those are both special cases. Ebonbane was IIRC already in the sword and is not the darklord , nor has a reality wrinkle. I.e. Ebonbane is not a "Fiend" but more like a sentient evil item. Gwydeon... by the current, 5e rules, I would say Gwydeon is not a fiend but an evil arch-fey. Those ...
