Call his butt out on it. He's ruining the game for himself first off, but also making it harder for you because you are always wondering if he is reading up and meta-gaming. I hate meta-gamers, so i would call him out.


I like the idea myself, but I'm going to agree with what Da'ath is saying. Make it a humaniod. Maybe a lighter version of the Dragon Disciple, but more draconic than human.
The walking on four legs is going to turn a lot of people off.


What kind of room has no doors or windows? A Mushroom

What kind of tree can you carry in your hand? A palm

What gets broken without being held? A promise

If you have me, you want to share me. If you share me, you haven't got me. What am I? A Secret.

Feed me and I live, yet give me a drink and I die. What am I? A Fire

I'm running this adventure, but have taken some liberties. Firstly, I started my PC's off as slaves from various backgrounds. They were put on the boat that wrecked on the Shiv as newly freed slaves escaping to a better life. I ran through the first book with a minor changes. Gelik said some stuff about slaves that the PC's didn't like and was chased off only to be killed by the cannibals.
My PC's escaped the Shiv and arrived in Eleder. They had a meeting with each faction, and the PC's asked the same question: What was their stance on slavery? Well I stayed on par with each factions, and my PC's didn't like the answers they were given. So I created Spartacus Freemen- Leader of the Freemen Revolt. They have since aligned with him and killed their former slaver boss who was taking bribes from the other factions.
I'm also going my own way to Tazion. I wasn't digging the path that the book wants me to take, so I am home brewing the trip there. I'm still following the outline of the Serpents Skull, but I have 4 people in my group that are veteran gamers, so I have to come up with something to spice the games up. I have a Blade Bound Magus with a sentient sword that has the soul of a capture vampire, and that fits in with the Serpent folk and stuff. Fun stuff.
Since I have added that faction as well, I think it adds another layer to the game.


The dude just needs to get over it. It is a game first and foremost. As a GM, I feel you were in the right.
Not that you did purposely, but I love throwing in a cursed item every now and then. I'm running a home brew of the Serpents Skull adventure and after defeating the cannibal camp, my PC's found what they thought was a ring of sustenance, but was a really a cannibals ring. The sorcerer in my group grabbed it and put it on as soon as it was found. After the seven days, he started feeling the effects. I let him try to cut it off, but he failed his will save and reflex save, thus cutting off the wrong finger. He eventually had his fellow PC's hold his hands and cut the finger off. I was close to telling him that the ring reappeared on another finger, but I figured he had been through enough trauma.


"Tell me bout the rabbits, George.."


Sounds like maybe Lenny from "Of Mice and Men". Simpleton who needs guidance and maybe you talk to your deity for that guidance.
