Re: Addar's Bane: a True Unicorn in Ravenloft

I'd really like to hear more about the Kara's Daughters campaign, as well as that Clan of Unicorn thing. Did you tie Rokushima to Legend of the Five Rings? LOL just do a search for Kara's Daughters, that campaign was on fire, and I came here all the time to get ideas. And yes, I tied Rokushima to L...

Re: Love the Theme, Hate the Execution: Fixing Marcel Delaco

Okay, we're about to move into this adventure, and I'm pretty well set on the big issues: Marcel lost interest in his daughter a long time ago, and allowed her to go away to boarding school in part because he was prepared to use a "final solution" when she returned: the bondage potion from...

Re: Addar's Bane: a True Unicorn in Ravenloft

I like to image either Loht or Maeve has a shadow unicorn mount Or both. I wouldn't be against half the Shadow Fey having them, maybe cross-breeding them with a Pooka or Kelpie. It brings up an interesting issue, Addar has reason to be proud of his progeny, as much as he wants to fear them. In Kara...

Re: Addar's Bane: a True Unicorn in Ravenloft

The PC could also not be the first person to be given the mark. Maybe there have been a host of other "saviors" selected and whenever they get hunted down by Addar the essence flows back to the unicorn and he has to find a new "volunteer" until he is ready? This would be especia...

Re: Adventure Design: Curing NPC Madness

Okay, I've had a few months to let this percolate, and I actually think you have the right idea. Once again, I've been overcomplicating things by keeping to a rigid script. The basics here are that 1) the Gentleman is almost always deliberately summoned to cure someone's madness. 2) the line says &q...

Re: Grimmhold:land of many farytail darklords

I dunno. We already have a lot of this already. We have an eternally sleeping beauty named Aurora, three hags in a forest, an assortment of bogeymen....

Is there a specific fairy tale? You sure you just want Grimm, no Perrault or any others?

Re: Addar's Bane: a True Unicorn in Ravenloft

It's somewhat hard to make suggestions regarding the alternatives not knowing the full implications for your game. As it is, what do you see as the pros/cons for each option. Yeah, I guess I shouldn't post so late at night. That made a lot more sense in my head at the time. :lol: The problem is tha...

Addar's Bane: a True Unicorn in Ravenloft

One of my PC's has a magical mark on her skin, said to be placed there by a greater fey. She got it as a child, she can't remember when or how, but it gives her certain abilities with the fey. It's similar in some ways to Larissa Snowmane's white hair. I want the truth to come out that the "fey...

Re: Haunted Feat

I'll be enforcing fairness, I'm just curious as to what could happen. Mmmm - is the dearly departed close to being a NPC/Henchman, or more of a more active background story? If the former she could be watching over the PC as a sort of guardian - like Sir Stuart in the Dresden book 'Ghost Story'. Ye...

Haunted Feat

I have a PC with the haunted feat who is haunted by the spirit of his dead wife. He wound up getting trapped in the ethereal with her for a while, and he gave her his jacket to cover up her death wounds. It makes me wonder, how far could this go? The player is not one to abuse the RAW, quite the con...

Re: On the Trail of the Puppetmaster

Sensing the need for formality, Kira mustered the effort to shrug. “I’m Kira, I’m here for the Puppetmaster’s advice, because we think he tells the truth about the Claiming.” The mermaid nodded sagely, and turned to Sinae. “You seek a way home for you and your two friends...but...only one of those f...

Re: To clip a falcon's wings

Well, knowing Drakov, for a female Ba'al Verzi wouldn't be so difficult catching him with his pants dow, litterally. Yeah, I did use that phrase on purpose. Really, assassination of a high-level character just makes me think of the final years of castle warfare. After they figured out how to make l...

Re: To clip a falcon's wings

Hmmm... Given that the Spawn of the Lizard tends to recruit Goblins in their fight against Drakov... might it be possible to bring the Three Hags into the alliance to kill the old butcher? Their maleficia probably has enough "oomph" to overcome his resistances. Based on my above analysis,...

Re: To clip a falcon's wings

How do you assassinate a 17 level fighter who has the HP, the Fortitude and the fighting skill to survive each one, thought? A very lucky critical hit? Step 1: You separate him from his gear. Simplest way is to work through his mistresses, to attack him in his bedroom. Step 2: total concealment. Ev...

Re: To clip a falcon's wings

And what local factions oppose the Eminent Council? A third of Falkovnia is No Man's Land. Do they run blatant interference against the Council? I allow for a rotating roster of petty warlords to rise and fall in that remaining third, mostly ex-Talons, but a few have stuck around long enough to be ...
