Café de Nuit

If you want maps, check out the Mordent Cartographic Society. Has loads of them, even if it hasn't been updated in years I don't think.

How's this look? I decided against giving him items, since he's already a fair bit more powerful then the PCs. I did however, give him a few minions, Rank One Ancient Dead Monks 2. ---------------------------------------- The Guardian of the Shard, Abbé Matthieu The Abbé Matthieu appears in death as...

I like how you think! Retribution against heretic monks tended to be, shall we say, strenous. How would you reconcile the two prior posts though? (If you could) If Nidalan monasteries are essentially priestly training grounds, they can't simultaneously be borderline hotbeds of heresy. Or would they ...

Good ideas, but a little over-complicated.

I'm already introducing new stuff a-plenty, I would like to limit that if I can, especially when there are so many good salient abilities already. I may steal one from the vampire or lich lists, now that I think about it.

Interesting.

If one were to establish a monastic system (or at least the renaissance era remnants of one), what religions would use them? Lawgiver? Ezra? Probably not Halans.

Fro-zen-Rea-ches! Fro-zen-Rea-ches! Fro-zen-Rea-ches! I mean, eternal winter, boyars, Darklord that turns into a woof-woof with a belt, what's not to like? It hasn't been detailed in Ezra knows how long, so why not? Plus, Russian folklore (which it's based on), has so many cool and unused monsters. ...
