Help Translating wolfwere!

Hi, I'm facing a big problem here. I need to translate this term in a way that is comprehensible by my player. We are Italians, and sadly there is no word to translate wolfwere(or jackalwere, or anything-were). I made some research and I hope someone here could help me find a way to translate it (Ev...

Re: Metaphysician and Astral projection?

Keep in mind that Heroes of Light is notoriously shaky when it comes to rules crunch. I would agree. The RPLH says that any attempt to travel to the astral plane completely fails. That the metaphysician class completely fails to mention that makes me think the author missed it. Oh, here we go, it's...

Re: Wereravens... Wereravens Everywhere

Why Licantropy should be seen as a curse, in the first place? It can have some controindication, but should be seen as a gift with responsability attached, instead than a curse. Let me start by saying that every dm can rule his own campaign as he wants, I am just gonna tell you the Canon info conta...

As for "Shadow and Steel," try to download from this link.
Thanks a lot!

Re: Weapon of legacy in ravenloft?

Yes, I would highly recommend using the items of legacy presented in "Shadow and Steel." Holy crap! You are the man who crafted those beautiful items! I thought you were not on the forum anymore, and i did not see your name untill now! I'm so glad you are still active! Teach me master! Wo...

Metaphysician and Astral projection?

How does Astral projection of the metaphysician work? It is a ravenloft Prc (in heroes of light) so it should work some way even if the book says that Astral spell does not work, right? Do it work normally (except the delusion effect)? Can a metaphysician bring someone with him like the normal spell?

Re: Touch of Death Sand zombies

I'm going to disagree and say that it depends on the game you're running. There's a default assumption in 3.5 that knowledge checks will apply to anything, possibly with a DC modifier for rarity. Yes, you right about the rule, I only considered the way I manage it in my campaign. Technically sand z...

Weapon of legacy in ravenloft?

I just saw an old topic about this. It was called Shadows and steel. Today I took a look at the weapon of legacy, I find them interesting, but would those kind of items work in ravenloft? Are those items too powerful? Any of you use them in your campaign? Any home rule about them? What do you think ...

Re: How often do you call for Horror/Fear/Madness checks?

In our game they were used _very_ sparingly and only if it was important. Unfortunatly, the published modules as written toss F/H/M checks around like candy and used them as a sledgehammer. Seas of Madness and the Hexad are awful with this. :-x Eg: *Fighter* Okay we've fought our way through the to...

How often do you call for Horror/Fear/Madness checks?

Simply as the title say: How often do you call for those checks? Do you do it every time they should be called, or do you skip some of them to use just at the most climatic moments? I ask this because i'm reading and preparing Touch of death, and I see that there are many horror and fear checks in t...

Re: The Mists vs normal fog?

A good friend once posted a short story where she stopped in a cemetery during a fog night. It was great, how she depicted the thing she thought she saw, and the fears she had. Altough she knew it was all imaginary, it was powerful and scary. Alas, I do not find a copy of it. Found it : I like to b...

The Mists vs normal fog?

I know i already asked this, but i cant remember the answer and i did not find my post.
What's the difference between normal Fog and The Mists? is there any visual difference? How can someone know (if he can at all) recognize fog from The Mists?

Re: First time doing Grand Conjunction

I do have access to those materials, but have not read through them all yet. I plan to read over that before I run them through this, as I want to have a stronger grasp on how the world works (most of my current knowledge is from browsing Mistpedia, the I, Strahd books, and Curse of Strahd). If you...

Any good ravenloft live campaign?

As the title, is there any good ravenloft live campaign on YouTube or twitch? I ask this because I'd like to see how people gm their campaign in live. Writing things down is fine, but it is easier (for me at least) to make great stories and descriptions, while playing live and improvising is harder....
