Deciding a patron for my Witch-hunter, help please.

I am currently playing a Wood Elf Monk in a forgotten realms setting with a High Fiend content in our GM's campaign. My character has Fiendish heritage (Basically a Teifling) and was raised as an orphan on the streets of Waterdeep. I would like to multi-class into the Witch-Hunter class for my 9th l...

Adventures in their own Thread?

I have been a member now for over a month and i've noticed alot of threads on several published adventures, a large amount by myself. I was going to suggest that published adventures get their own thread so as not to be all over the place in the main forum? I apologize if this is the case an I haven...

Re: Bleak House

I think the reason for that is Bleak House is an utter "Head-$#@$@" for the DM to run, let alone document every session.
I hope you have fun, as I wish I had the time to run this but, alas.
I also look forward to reading your DM Journal :)

Re: Grand Conjunction Problems

I've always played summoning as the animals coming from the surrounding area, but the rules suggest that they pop into existence. As far as controlling conjured animals in Kartakass, the Darklord can override anything you want to do, IMHO. And further, I don't see taking over a former Darklord lair...

Re: Quick Survey for DMs (any edition)

[/quote]You sure about that? Monsters aside, it has one of the less practical layouts for any residents that may be there (unless Strahd has done MAJOR reconstruction on it since 351 BC). My players tend to fall into the 'I see it, I want it' mentality without any concern with who or what lives insi...

Re: Grand Conjunction Problems

I get that, and I may even have them fight him, but when they kill him, it won't be because he wants it that way. And even in my very role-play heavy group, PCs, even if they couldn't "kill" Lucas forever, can kill hordes of wolfweres in the inn and burn the place down. :lucas: Why not ha...

Re: Quick Survey for DMs (any edition)

I think he's referring to the idea that the Castle Ravenloft in the demiplane is a copy of the one back in the Prime Material Plane (which we see still exists in Prime Material Barovia, in Roots of Evil). Yes correct, sorry I should have been more clear. The Ravenloft Castle i'd stay well away from...

Re: Quick Survey for DMs (any edition)

I'm pretty sure my players want Castle Ravenloft after they kill Strahd... which will probably cause a succession crisis/civil war in Barovia. I don't think that's possible as the castle was created for Strahd when he was pulled into Ravenloft. I wouldn't want to take over a castle that is trying t...

Re: Grand Conjunction Problems

Question related to another thread that just popped up on here... Following the events of Feast of Goblyns, how inappropriate do you think it would be for Harkon to allow the players a "safe haven" of sorts at the Old Kartakan Inn? Maybe in partial thanks for foiling the scheme of his dau...

Re: Quick Survey for DMs (any edition)

Currently my players are just going from place to place as they don't currently know what the hell is going on(Grand Conjunction series of adventures), but I will be introducing a PC "Stronghold" where they can go in times of need.

Re: Problems with level drain when converting to 5e

Did you have issues with the Talons and the amount of magic items they hold, Obviously... but it's not version-oriented problem. I would have exactly the same problem in 2nd edition. A sword of wounding every 4-5 Talons? Preposterous! It was not the damage, it was the sheer number of magic items. A...

Re: Death Unchained-Well of Bones Map

Well... I ended up not using all those intersections when the authors put them. It even says in the adventure you can change the layout so that it represents what you want. I used a 1d12 to figure if the random alcove the PCs checked actually had a secret door and all I needed to know was what leve...
