Outside, Niles can see a boy, a student. He looks frightened and agitated, and as soon as Niles opens the door, tries to force his way in, Niles isn't holding the door very tightly, and as the other young man attempts to force his way in, it slips out of the assistant chaplain's hands and bumps int...

Niles walks over to the door and opens it gently.

Yes; not a problem.

What about Paridon? Supposed to be a combination of Paris and London in the renaissance period (Pari - Don, see?), it has 11,000 people according to the Zherisia Gazetteer. There are more social classes, professions, schools and universities, and so on than there are people! Well you could say that...

" Of course, " the assistant chaplain replies, a bit suprised. He had already assumed Frances would continue her investigations with or without approval. " But please don't observe the group alone, " he cautions. " Is there a friend who may accompany you - someone who won't ...

So I just recently purchased the wizard's spell compendium (AD&D, 2nd edition) and found a 4th level spell called "Awaken Intelligence". It permanently enspells an animal with greater intelligence. It claims to be from a Ravenloft supplement, but it does not specify and doesn't ring a...

As Frances admits to envy of the members of this secrect society, Niles nods sympathetically. He answers," Such feelings are natural when an accident of birth denies you what others recieve, " It seems for a moment that the deacon's words take on a trace of bitterness. After a moment, he c...

As he listens to Frances recount her investigations into the secretive actions of her fellow students, Niles remains silent and thoughtful. At best, the behavior of these club members suggests some activity the staff would frown upon, but there is nothing to suggest anything truly sinister. With the...

The young deacon smiles at Frances as he replies: " To be sure, I've cleared some time knowing you had something to speak about. He looks around the near-empty dining hall, where a few of the staff have already begun cleaning up. " Perhaps we could go elsewhere for this discussion. There a...

Out of habit, Niles awakens early. The night's rest has cleared his mind somewhat and he resolves to put the troubling issues raised by Basil's death aside until Frances and he have their conversation later in the day. Focusing on the few non-sinister events that have occured during the past few wee...

Trying to think of other female darklords whose curse doesn't include love or children: - the Hive Queen of Timor - Thakok-An, the Priestess-Queen of Kalidnay (not a good example, since she is sometimes depicted as male) There are also some fan examples, but we could definately use some more. Howeve...

Has anyone created racial paragon classes (from Unearthed Arcana) for Calibans and half-Vistani?

I'd like to give it a try here, but don't want to reinvent the wheel if such classes already exist.

I disagree with most of the ideas present in the blog post (the only one I liked was the random Mists table suggested in the comments), but I'm still eager to read the Gazetteer and see some of the ideas therein.

Thank you for letting everyone know about this, Skyrock.

Then again I'm an RPG cannibal, so I tend to get my stories/ideas from anywhere. Here are my examples: - Instead of Ravenloft's "levels of power" for vampires, I tend to use a heavily home-brewed "Blood Potency" ability (Vampire the Requiem). The same goes for the other creature...
