That's a pretty cool option , IMHO: it gives Monette more miles to act. It is a different approach to the limits set on Monette than the canon one. /me is beaming from the FoS approval. Yayfulness abounds! :D I would put the same limitation on water in general. He could fly over it, but touching th...

I once toyed with the idea of a secret life-worshiping undead sect within Necropolis that would sometimes help stranded travelers. I never realized the concept, but [...] After watching a program on mystery cults and the Dionysian Mysteries, I toyed with the idea of creating a life-worshipping sect...

But how do the other undead react to that? Less powerful undead like Skellies and Zombies might not care much, but what of wight and vampires? Ignore ? Curious? Attack on sight? Attack to feed? I'd say that the Necropolitan Amaranth works like the Cold One feat, in terms of how undead react to you....

I've played in a couple of games of 4E and I must admit that I really like it. The battle system is much cooler and has a ton of additional options that make it both run faster and seem less monotonous than in 3E. That said, it now appears that more of the game system is devoted to combat... and I'd...

Actually, I think I found better: Especially since, if he can cross that distance and get to the Black Pelican , then he could land on the Pelican and do some sailing, thus contravening his curse that keeps him from ever engaging in his one true love again. As for the "tiny dot" reference,...

On the chapter as a whole, I found it worked quite well. One thing seemed odd to me, however: It's made quite plain, both from the people snatched from the shipwreaks and from the individual sailor stolen from the Black Pelican , that Monette has a considerable ability to fly out across the waters a...

[...]But you're right, the NS Gaz is corrupted too. And we just sent out a mass email advertising it too! Luckily, I have a copy of that one, and I've uploaded it just now. I don't mean to sound weird, but was that a finished copy of the NS Gaz? Or has the NS Gaz been modified after its initial rel...

The Bats I’m not sure why there needs to be two different species occupying the domain. Is this a plot point I’m missing? Hey Jeremy16!

A displaced Richemuloise noble is causing a stir.

OK, thanks to Sorti, I believe we've got them all now. Thanks for noticing, Rock, and let me know if anything else turns up missing...

Re: Darkon memory loss - 2 puzzles

Great questions! I've been trying to think of things like this, as I want to do a game where everyone starts as Darkonian natives, and so concerns like these are also of interest to me. Here's my thoughts on it (reject if undesirable): Puzzle #1: Would you be affected sooner if you are younger? (Sin...
