Lamest pit fiend ever. Only battle abilities, and boring at that; solo he doesn't do any real damage; and most important, where did they hide its ungodly Diplomacy, Intimidate, Knowledges and so on? It's assumed to be a devil noble, not Just Another Miniature :(... Probably a fitting 26th level enc...

And a successful tail attack lead to a bonus third attack. Actually, I think that "third attack" is just their new way of saying that the tail is venomous. It's not a separate attempt to strike the opponent, it's just a saving throw against poison, but re-stated as an attack roll against ...

Well, he's still capable of severe damage. First of all, his Frenzy ability is a standard action, so he can technically use both the mace and tail attacks together. That's what, 1d12+11 and 1d6+11? And a successful tail attack lead to a bonus third attack. Plus, it seems as though they have effects ...

Well, according to that, I'm a 4th level LG human cleric. I have yet to successfully cast Bless.

Before 3e came out, we used to wait and see what the weather was like before we played. See, on foggy nights, my house would be surrounded by the stuff and you couldn't see much farther than a few feet out the window. If it happened to be a foggy night, instead of our regularly scheduled Planescape ...

Re: What happened to Dragon and Dungeon magazines?

What happened with those magazines? Will they stop being published completely? Will they keep being published only at the web? I still see them in the WotC site. I think that although they're not printed anymore, they're still in the loop via electronic means. Yeah, they still exist, just no longer...

Teach her to use her powers for Good, eh? ;)
Being my mother's first granddaughter, she'll probably get spoiled. I'll try to keep her on the path of light, though.

A Beacon in the Darkness, or Just a Deeper Shadow?

Yeah, it's a goofy title, and it really has nothing to do with Ravenloft, but I just wanted to announce it here. My wife and I, who are expecting, had an ultrasound done yesterday, and it's a girl! We've already decided on a name, which is Catherine Faye. So, there only a few of you that might care,...

Cemetery Man

No, not for the overall atmosphere, but the general idea behind it. In a place where the dead come back as zombies after seven days, the local mayor has hired a man to actually live in the cemetery and kill them as they rise before they can escape into the community.

That said, under 3E, all of these things are taken for granted. If the original lives, clone produces an empty husk that withers and dies if not preserved. Upon the death of the original body, the soul would immediately be drawn to and would start inhabiting the clone body, if there was one already...

So, a question. Assuming that they were aware of what was about to happen, would darklords (at least, those that are able) be able to close their borders to prevent the soul's return after the body dies?

Agreed. Best case scenerio: Strahd Zombie.

Well, the title does just say "films", now doesn't it? Actually, though, there were a couple of movies out there for the series. Now, whether they were made during the initial run or just bits and pieces of certain related episodes edited together, I don't know.

I've mostly loved what I've read of the Dark Tower series to date (though I've only read the first five). Personally, I'm a fan of all the different references to various works of both his own design and other writers. Admittedly, though, I did think that the inclusion of the Harry Potter and Star W...

Personally, I think In the Mouth of Madness could be adapted to Ravenloft. While it wouldn't work as is, with a little tweaking, the story could be changed and used with Scaena.

Also, has anyone mention the old TV show Dark Shadows yet?
