It's my understanding that a cleric can only be True Neutral if his/her deity is also True Neutral. Page 39 says that they can only be one step away on the Law/Chaos axis or the Good/Evil axis. So Trelmarixian's allowable alignments would be correct.

Rule #4: Double-tap. You think it's dead? One more makes a 100% sure.

I would make it a short PrC with three or five levels, not a full PrC.

I don't believe they need to be F/MU either, but I remember the LGG saying "many of them wizards as well as fighters."

A PrC for rangers would work best, because the reason I bring it up at all is for a character who is a Ranger (with a level or two of Druid, I think) and I would like to see a potential PrC be more ranger than chivalric knight.

They also have members actively fighting the humanoids of the Pomarj and I think Ranger abilities would suit their style of guerilla warfare best.

I checked out Canonfire but didn't see anything. I actually have the dead trees of all of the LG Journals (before they went to Dungeon / Polyhedron) so I'll have to find those and check them out. Thanks for the help!

I don't know much about the orders so you could be right. My Greyhawk-fu is weak these days.
Eldritch Knight seems a good fit (it even has Knight right in the title!) as does the Abj Champion. I was hoping, ultimately, that someone had actually made a PrC for the group, but really it doesn't seem all that necessary. Maybe that's why it hasn't been done.

Not sure about the triple order part, I think that might be a different order. It seems a lot of Knights of Luna would be Ftr/Wiz types.

I've thought of both of those PrCs, but you're right; they are pretty cheesy. I'll check out the Eternal Blade, as I'm not familiar with that one. I've also considered just making them an affiliation a la PH2.

**bump**

Has anyone ever made a Prestige Class for these guys, or adapted one from a published source?
I'd be very thankful for any help or suggestions!

Word.

Has anyone posted the ECL races? I noticed this on page 406, but didn't happen to see whether anyone has already posted about this. They very much imply that certain races lose their +1 ECL and that some have been lowered to +1. I don't know if I'm allowed to post which ones changed or not.

There was 3.5 Spelljammer?

That's the beauty of playing and not actually writing and selling books. We can incorporate whatever we want into our games and still be happy. I will miss a lot of the WotC settings, though. Greyhawk is really growing on me, and I would have liked to see more 3.5 Spelljammer.

I think the OP might be referring to names like Mordenkainen, Bigby, and Tenser. That's really what I'm going to miss. The Pathfinder iconics are cool and so were the AP iconics, but those guys were the original D&D iconics.

Thanks for all the help guys. My Greyhawk-fu isn't as good as I would like for it to be, but I was looking for a place for my new Shackled City character to be from.

Some work was also done towards this end here.

That's a pretty good plan, I think. I like that it simplifies something which I don't really know much about.

I suppose my basis for comparison is the Realms, where tieflings tend to come from certain places and so do other plane-touched like aasimar and genasi.

I'm at work and don't have any of my reference materials in front of me and I was wondering: what areas of Greyhawk are most tieflings from?

I would think the remains of the Great Kingdom and the Empire of Iuz would be the most prominent, with possibly the city of Greyhawk having a few as well. Are there any others or am I totally wrong on my guesses?

Also, how would most Rhennee feel about tieflings?

Thanks!

I'll be there today, as soon as I leave work. shakes fist at work

I was an art major back in college, but I haven't done anything artistically in years. I would definitely want to get back in to that.

OOOHH! And what Daigle said. I live in San Diego and I've been surfing once and had a blast. I gotta do that again.

All monsters from the Bonus Bestiary are now online here.

Chuck Norris doesn't need midichlorians to bring balance to the Force.

He once went to the Virgin Islands. Now they're just known as the Islands.

Did you hear his last request?

DiTerlizzi would be my first choice. In my opinion, his work on Planescape helped to start changing what I hated so much about the 2nd edition artwork: girl (or sometimes guy) posing with dragon and looking at the camera. Everything was so STATIC. I have a strong dislike of Elmore and Caldwell for this reason.

I think the art department at White Wolf really helped to revitalize the genre. When I started playing Vampire in the mid to late 90's I was amazed at how DYNAMIC the art was. I really think it helped (along with DiTerlizzi) pave the way for the awesome artwork that we now have and come to expect with our RPG books. Wayne Reynolds is the current master of this style, but Josh Timbrook, Christopher Shy, Guy Davis, Vince Locke, Tim Bradstreet, and Leif Jones would all be welcome additions in my opinion.

I would invite you to our weekly game, but we already have a pretty full table. I'm jonesin' to play (instead of run) so I would be willing to join a game if we could get one together.

I'm in IB and drive out to Lakeside to DM our weekly game. We play on weekdays so my weekends are mostly free. I'd be interested in playing in a game if I could so I'll also try to watch this thread.

I should be running the encounter with Vanthus tomorrow night, which will hopefully wrap up ToD (we've spent the last 3 game sessions running the Battle of Farshore). I definitely enjoy being able to see other peoples thoughts and opinions of adventures before I run them for my players.

Makazu - thanks for that link, that was a great help!

We don't try to be massively obscure, but sometimes it just works out that way. :)

Thanks! I'll do that. I thought that I would enjoy what was going on and participating in the polls and stuff but I just couldn't figure it out.

The 3E/OGL edition of Halls will ship in June.

Stuff

Thanks to Free RPG day, we discovered another gaming store within a pretty reasonable distance to us. Pair-A-Dice in Vista, California was my closest store doing the Free goodies (the store I normally go to once a quarter or so is Game Empire, and the clerks didn't even know what I was talking about the two times I called to see if they were doing it.)

Love the leather jacket! Was that a dire bear?

Yes, indeed! I absolutely adore Ryan! Devistatingly smart and very funny, she worked for me in the university curation lab.

Funny, I probably even saw you at one of her then boyfriend's gigs...

I got my M.A. in Archaeology and Applied Anthropology from ENMU in 2003, but I actually attended the school in the late 90s (yeah, shouldn't leave and try to finish up the thesis remotely... adds WAAAAAAAYYYYYY to much time to both sides; yours and the committee's).

GAHH!! Not Cool!! I'm glad to hear that the tattoo parlor rectified the situation for you, though.

Okay, interesting story about my second tattoo.

I lived in New Mexico at the time in a town without a tattoo shop so I booked an appointment in Lubbock, TX (about 2 hours away). I had the artwork I wanted and my friend and I drove over to the shop and I was all set to get my tattoo. Well, I had forgotten about the difference in time zones when you cross over the TX border and I ended up an hour late to my appointment. The shop understood my predicament but the artist who had booked the appointment had left for the day thinking I was a no show. They scheduled me an appointment with another artist, but I had to wait a little. No problem.

Now the piece I wanted was from the Book of Nod. If any of you guys are familiar with White Wolf canon, you might recognize the illustration I ended up getting tattooed on my left arm. The piece is an illustration of Caine pulling his beard thinking of how he can make Zillah love him. He pulls his beard so hard that it bleeds, and the blood runs down and in the illustration it turns in to a forest with a figure running through the trees.

I was originally told the piece would cost about $120. They went ahead and kept that price, but the piece took 3 hours-ish to complete. This was about 10 years ago, but 120 bucks was still cheap. Nowadays tattoos are often charged by the hour and usually run over $100 an hour. Needless to say the artist who did my tattoo was drastically underpaid. He took it out on me in my tattoo. That figure running through the trees? Yeah, he turned it in to a very erect penis (the legs were the dangly bits) that was made (luckily) from negative space. It had the hands and legs and feet from the illustration and because it was on my arm it was pretty hard for me to see, even with a mirror. It was pointed out to me and became incredibly obvious, so I scheduled an appointment at the shop, but the guy who had given me my tattoo didn't work there anymore. They filled it in for free, though.

Oh man, where do I start? I have about 15 now, I think. My right arm has a full sleeve that I finished up in Japan. It has a skull up top surrounded by flowers and then an Oni on my forearm. My other forearm has a playing card style Vlad Tepes stabbing the queen opposite him. I have a sparrow on my left arm that I got in Hawaii after sailing 5000 miles (traditional Navy thing).

My two best pieces (I think) are on my legs. My left leg has an Art Nouveau style Grim Reaper with a dead woman draped over his arm. My right leg has a Jack Skellington holding a pair of scissors in one hand and the decapitated head (via the scissors) of Sally in his other.

All together I've probably been under the needle for around 60 hours (at least).

The option's been showing up at the top of my home page as a banner.

EDIT: Someone took my name so I had to go grammatically incorrect, but check me out here here.

Okay, I have Facebook but I'm not seeing where to add a username. Can someone help me out with that?

[sarcasm]I know, right? What's next? Are they going to tell me how to pronounce Drow? If Pathfinder pronounces it Drow and not Drow, then I'm spending my money somewhere else![/sarcasm]

Even as someone who doesn't post regularly, this is the only smurfin' board I ever bother with. Thanks everybody!

A game I'm playing in back home is involved in the siege of the capital city of the local empire. We're on the attacking side, and my character is helping to infiltrate the city from the sewers. I have yet to see how this is going to pan out for us, but if your city has sewers that could be an option for a bit of a dungeon delve in the middle of a siege.

Thank you so much for the input! I think I might try to rework some things in the adventure, but everything is relative. What works for us may or may not work for you guys. Thanks again!

Hey Wiam, have you found a group yet?

Hey gang, the DZA here. My group and I are about to finish up Tides of Dread and I've been looking ahead to the LD and checking the boards to see what people thought. I've seen that some people had problems with this installment of the STAP and that some people recommend skipping it, or at least altering it in certain ways. I know the STAP is a little passe these days, but what are your opinions on this adventure? I'd really like to hear from the community.
