I am thinking of inserting this fun little adventure as a side-trek in my starting-next-week SCAP campaign... I've always wanted to use it, and it seems that this is the best opportunity I shall have for a while. :)

Have any of you DM's done the same, and if so, what tweaks did you use/would you suggest?

I thought I'd insert it after Flood Season, as by then our Heroes should have built a name for themselves, and it would allow some of our outdoor PC's a bit more of a chance to shine.

Thanks in advance for your wisdom!

I'm a terrible judge when it comes to deciding if a prestige class is worthwhile or not. I'm looking at the High Handcrafter PrC from the hardback and I can't see anyone taking this. Anybody else?

Prereq requires 16 points in craft skills, plus a feat - those are totally wasted for a character.

For a wizard, the saves and skill points go up, but who cares. You've already waster 16 skills points so the 6+INT per level is a wash. Saves go up is nice, but nothing great.

The earth talisman lets you cast some lower level spells, but you've lost two spellcasting levels by the time you get that. I'd rather have the levels.

The Summon Earth Elemental is going to granted at a LATER level then the wizard would be able to do it if he stayed wizard.

Additionally, you lose out on the bonus wizard feats.

I can't see my wizard player (who'd be the one meeting Maavu) taking this. Am I missing something? Somebody have a tweak or a different PrC?

Well, Flavor or Roleplaying is always a good reason, IMO and IMC, as opposed to mathematically calculating exact cost/benefit ratios down to the skill point.

That's just IMC, though, and obviously your mileage may vary.

I whipped something simple up, be glad to send it to you if you'd like.

That would be wonderful!My players love handouts, and I am on short notice tonight.

You can send to me at matthew (dot) everhart (at) cox (dot) net

Thanks again!

I seem to recall that in Kazmojen's loot hoard, there was a letter to him from Vervil Ashmantle, warning him to slow down the pace of his kidnappings...

I was wondering if any of you actually wrote out that letter (and would be willing to share it), for use as a player prop/handout.

I don't remember seeing it in my SCAP handout bundle, but am at work and may well be incorrect.
