Hello.

Just a couple of question about these things:

1) Does the vine they animate merely attack as assassin vine (+7 slam, 1d6+5 damage, improved grab & constrict) or does it get any other of their abilities of assassin vine, namely blindsight, entangle and energy resistances? I suspect the first but never hurts to clarifiy.

2) Does the malleable form affect movement in difficult terrain, say if some spells turns the "ground" beneath them into something else?

Thanks.

PC Name: Shane
Class / Race: 2 Rogue / Human
Adventure: Whispering Cairn
Location of Death: the True Tomb
Catalyst: In fight with Wind Warriors, tried to tumble away after attacking. Hit one and did some damage. Tumble roll comes as one, AoO from Wind Warrior is a critical for 21pts of damage (maximum being 22). Rogue goes from 8 hitpoints straight to -13.

And in Whispering Cairn as well, 'almost death'

PC Name: Alfray
Class / Race: 2 Fighter / Human
Adventure: Whispering Cairn
Location of Death: the True Tomb
Catalyst: Fights against Wind Warriors and is knocked down. When bleeding, a wind blast kills him.

Two rounds later strange substance that Filge had prepared from dead Kuyss worm and had injected to Alfray (as means to take him out of batte), kicks in. Alfray starts to 'live again' but is a bit changed. Nonetheless he pummels the Wind Warrior and must learn to live as undead version of his old self.

Talking about Filge. I recently started AoW campaign and in the fight against him, most of the party was paralysed by his ghoul touch. Without really thinking it much as situation seemed to warrant it, I had Filge take out one of his syringes and essentially do a non-lethal coup-de-grace to one of the players by pumping him full of some strange toxin (naturally knocking said PC out straight away).

Now I am thinking. What this might do for that player in the future, that his system has been tainted by some sort of questionable material. Perhaps it was somehow connected to the worm he had and has some aspects of the "slow worm" as detailed in "Encounter at Blackwell Keep" or something like that.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Sure, you could say that the use of real names isn't very creative, i'd second that, but from my point of view in no case offensive. I can imagine distasteful uses of real names (here in germany we'd be angry if NPC's would be named after "famous" nazis), but to lend out the name of a sportsman doesn't fall into this category in my opinion. Sometimes soccer games on TV inspire me for NPC names. I once had a villain named Crespo, after a famous european soccer player. I don't think he'd mind me...

A) they take the name of someone who could very much be called a national icon and give it to some crazed assassin.

B) They use it in an actual official publication.

Now, I don't know where Lassiviren originated. probably in someones home campaign, but Paizo did publish him later as 'critical threat' and for that they should be ashamed. Yes, I known finnish names get abused a lot, such as 'Eloranta' in Dungeon adventure 'Practical Magic'. How about giving it a rest?

Hello.

Has anyone ever done a sort of "this is what you know of Diamond lake" for PCs, in other words the description of the town from same Dungeon magazine as "whispering cairn" but without all the hidden information such as Dourstone knowing about Ebon Triad, etc?

I would love to have one if anyone has it (shaarlaa at hotmail dot com)

Thanks.
