I'm probably looking at a ban with what I'm likely to add to the D&D boards on WotC. They'd better turn their filters on.
Dungeon rocks. Best D&D product on the market.
The maps aren't usually used much as handouts but are nice for DM use to write on and such. I very much like being able to hand out pictures of the NPCs.

Hell, his mind blast has a DC of 23, which can easily put half a party out of commission for 3-12 rounds. Am I missing something? The party gets a preview and then has time to prepare, so they should be ready for him. He's still a pretty bad dude, though.
My party made pretty short work the LMs...and the whole adventure pretty much. The harpy encounter almost got deadly because of some poor save rolls. Shukak can be formidable in certain circumstances.
I think it's good to have an adventure like this, especially around 5th level or so. It get's the players off the jitters caused by playing fragile low-level PC's.
The previous poster is correct that the Hall more than makes up for the ease of this one.
If I'm reading that right, that sounds overpowered for 2000 gp. Why a reflex save? Do you dodge it?
Royster wrote: A kyuss worm is in no way shape or form a disease or a parasite. It doesn’t carry any disease. It is simply a worm (albeit a very nasty one). You make some pretty good points. For clarity's sake, a disease is a condition. Specifically, a condition that impairs normal function in a living thing. An organism cannot be a disease but they can cause disease. In that case, the organism is pathogenic. Diseases can have no underlying organisms, typically one, or several different ones. Some quick examples that might help...
Sickle-cell anemia is a disease with no underlying pathogenic organism.
HIV is not a disease, it's a pathogenic class of virus because it causes the disease condition AIDS.
Meningitis is a disease caused by any number of bacteria or viruses.

I was thinking the same thing and kept going back and forth thinking I was reading the description incorrectly.
I don't think there's enough stairs to fully submerge the room. If you draw out another 10' of stairs it's a lot easier to visualize and doesn't affect anything.

crippling the character class by making exceptions is a good way tp lose your players
Concur. I don't even make an exception for the 1hp damage. I'm running it as full immunity based on divine health by the logic that not all diseases covered by divine health are removed with "remove disease" but if "remove disease" removes it then it's covered. I also wouldn't try to logically determine what is and isn't a disease in D&D. It's a complicated enough subject in real-life.

Class and Theme Abilities
--------------------
Guarded Ward: You focus on protecting a particular person or place, which becomes known as your ward. You must study a specific creature or a specific location (such as a building or starship) for 1 day to make it your ward. If your ward is a creature, you automatically succeed at checks to aid another with your ward when you are adjacent to them. If your ward is a location, you succeed at checks to aid another with anyone adjacent to you when you are both within your ward. You can change your ward by selecting a new one and studying it for 1 day.
Primary Fighting Style: Sharpshoot
Sniper's Aim: Reduce Cover bonus by 2
Focus Fire: When you make a full attack with a ranged weapon, you can make both attacks with a –3 (-1 with Harness) penalty instead of a –4 penalty as long as they both target the same creature. If your first attack kills or knocks out the target, you can instead make the second attack against a different creature at a –4 (-2 with Harness) penalty. Once you have the soldier’s onslaught class feature (see page 112), you can use this ability with it, making three attacks against the same creature at a –5 penalty; if your first or second attack kills or knocks out your target, you can make your remaining attacks against a different creature at a –6 penalty
Intense Focus: When you make a ranged attack against a target with cover or concealment, you can spend 1 Resolve Point to negate its AC bonus from cover and reduce its concealment by one category (from total concealment to concealment or from concealment to no concealment). This benefit applies to all ranged attacks you make against that target this round. You can’t use intense focus more than once per round, nor can you use it against an enemy with total cover.
