One of the most interesting I have heard of: "You have all claimed a seat at the local tavern a ship crashes through the back wall. Roll initiative." I once started one of my own campaigns with the party arriving in a small village not marked on their map. There was evidence that a great celebration had been interrupted even the food was still warm. The town was now deserted.
VRMH wrote: Isn't the host effectively dead already? After the battle the DM told to us that the host creature used it's mental stats and not the Intellect Devourer's. On the fly he ruled that while the host was feebleminded the Intellect Devourer itself was immune. This was an encounter from the Serpents Skull AP. I was just wondering if anyone else had dealt with this situation before. Going on the assumption that the host is already dead would you rule that the host is immune to all mind effecting effects?
Yesterday in my home game our party cast feeblemind on a spellcaster. We did not know that it was a host body for an Intellect Devourer. As an Intellect Devourer is immune to mind effecting effects would the host body also be immune? Would the Intellect Devourer still be able to cast it's own spells through the host?
As a GM I ran a time traveling adventure that kicked off with the destruction of Absalom. The party started with a meeting in a tavern called the Jolly Lobster when calls of burglar’s drew them from their meals. They headed outside to see hooded and masked thieves leaping from their rooms upstairs. It culminated in an epic chase across roof tops during which the thieves escaped. It was after this that the city was destroyed. The player’s managed to survive, without their gear, and found their way to a couple npc survivors that had means to time travel for short periods; though it had never been tested fully. They volunteered and found themselves back in Absalom only a few hours before it was destroyed. Without knowing how much time they had they decided to stop the thieves from taking their gear. The look on their faces when they realized that they were the ones who had taken their gear was priceless.
Would it be possible for them to order these? They have them for cones also and I think a pack that has some of both. They have made casting spells much easier for my players. |
