Re: The City of Ravenloft

It seems it would take a really, really huge injection of magic and/or Omnipotent Force Meddling to keep all the Darklords in a room for even one minute; is it really worth it? What would we gain by it? In the Canon many Darklords don't know they are different from normal people, and this logically ...

Re: The City of Ravenloft

This sounds very cool and interesting! Just some thoughts: - Reducing Ravenloft to a city makes the constraint that Darklords can't leave their domain really painful for the DM; now you can literally escape Barovia in a 30 minute-cab ride, so you don't ahve the problem of the sunset approaching; doe...

I'm ready to steal ideas, pictures and low-powered magic items for my campaign :D

Re: Inajira as Mr Gaunt

I actually placed Inajira in a personal tent in the Midnight Market. He is also one of the major villains of my campaign (it became fiend-centered when the PCs were too high in level to be scared by weretigers :( ). From my notes: Inajra* has a sober green tent with red borders in the Midnight marke...

Re: Ravenloft Reanimated: Main Thread

The project was abandoned due to the disappearance of wolfkook, long before RL4e was announced.

Re: One shot coming - any idea?

A couple of years ago I ran a one-shot in which the characters were children and had to enter a haunted house for a test of courage. They were a girl, her brother and her boyfriend-to-be, which she challenged in a test of courage to see if he'll be a good husband; the brother knows and is very jealo...

Amazing! Just a sidenote: calibans don't need an ability saying that they are not considered humans, since they're another race they're not technically considered humans already.

I really think you should set some limit to how much chi one can spend in a round; if my calculations are correct a 5th-level Anachorite with Wisdom 20 and Fire Bender can cast a Meteor Swarm spell (and feint).

I have a rule of thumb (the rule of "ewww") - if PCs do anything that makes anyone go "eww!" or "WTF?!" then that should draw the dark powers attention.... You should change it to "anything that would make somebody living in the 16th century go ewwww, and only if ...

I know I'm opening a can of worms here, but I think in cases like this it would depend on if the person doing the act feels it to be cruel or not. I remember a Planescape adventure where there were some guys vivisecting and experimenting on modrons (legal outsiders that look like constructs). One wa...

Creatures with wish as a spell-like ability are above 15 HD, the upper maximum for even greater metamorphosis to emulate. So I'd have to disagree, Jester. Metamorphic Transfer could never allow someone to take on the ability to use wish as a spell- (or psi-) like ability. Greater metamorphosis ' li...

This thought occurs to me -- do any of you interpret the Metamorphic Transfer feat to allow you to get a single otherwise-prohibited ability (special quality, spell-like ability) of the assumed form, rather than limiting it to just a supernatural ability? For example, could I assume the form of a m...

I started hatching an idea: that in truth the L'Ordures background is just a cover-up, and in truth he actually is a carrionette, that had to escape Odiare for some reason (bad sense of humor?) and ended up in the Carnival in search of redemption, or something like that; and Isolde did for him what ...

Puch would be the puppett from Punch and Judy, right? The internationalization of Pulcinella?
