Café de Nuit

My computer can't open the last few including 28.

My domains tend to be MUCH bigger and more populous than canon. The Core is apx the size of the US. Outside of some city-states and pocket domains the domains are thus large. Also the lack of war (There is basically no war outside of Drakov's idiotic attempts that last only a few months) and disease...

The Detective Aran Hillside is a detective with a great reputation. His reputation is almost a excellent as Alnik Ray. Unlike Ray he tends to wander the Mists giving his investigative assistance on any recent outbreak of crime. His reputation allows him to charge high fees and he spends his money on...

Hi all, This thread got me thinking, in my campaign the players will soon encounter a being that is more of an angel then a demon, but as I understand it, it would also alter the reality of the world around them. Do I remember this correctly? Would a darklord be able to approach an angel? What is t...

From what I remember of Azalin's Asking... A darklord is fully capable of entering a fiend's reality wrinkle, otherwise, how would Inajira been able to confront Strahd? However, the darklord can not leave his domain while inside of the fiend's wrinkle, that is, to escape on the fiend's coattails, a...

Yep, his motives are still better. He wouldn't be in your Lightlord category any more but he is still clearly better.

Agreed, he did nothing but help free his people from slavers.

Jacintha is much worse IMO. She is a world class hypocrite who beats her own children and is willing to sacrifice one of them and starts holy wars for a religion she does not truly believe in. Vedmor in comparison is a bandit who grabbed the throne of a tyrant during a civil war. She may not have do...

And he ran a band of mercenaries of some distinction. He knows money almost as well as killing. He -may- not be concerned with the nit and grit of economics and accounting (that doesn't necessarily mean he doesn't understand them), but his war machine is his dream in play. No doubt some coin is spi...

And economical warfare is not a manly way to subdue the enemy! Drakov wants to see blood pool, hear the lamentations of the women and pile up skulls to build his throne, not fatten the enemy's belly while emptying his wallet! I strongly agree, he would never do that as it would be admitting he coul...

I think he is a joke to them anyway cause of his refusal to use gunpowder weapons, if it wasn't for this view he has for them as weapons for cowards and clueless people on military matters and believeing battle has to be a brutal bloodbath of swords clashing in a "blood and honor" style i...

As pointed out, Drakov's curse is not to be incompetent, Drakov's curse is to never achieve his heart of heart's desire, to be respected as a mighty war hero, and more importantly, be treated as an equal by the nobility who hired him, yet always looked down at him. His curse makes him appear incomp...

The way I see him is this, he is competent but his curse means he will have zero long term victories. He may prevail for a week or a month at most but then suffers from some catastrophic failure , everything tumbles back again and he has nothing to show for it but retained borders and mounds of corp...

That's not a bad idea, though I run into the wall of "Gabrielle's right next door." again. Maybe she'd just work way better for me if she was the high speaker's bratty kid or something, or played at being a dark knight while she was really a clueless kid playing dress up. Something to tie...

Yeah, I turned her into a prophetess , which at the very least, gives her some motivations. Is she Soth? No, but I think she is at least less bland.
