<p>Thanks for dropping in <b>tribeof1</b>. I may take another look over there. I have been to that site (I think I found a link someone had placed on either the PEG Forums or on Giants in the Playground). I had trouble making much sense of the site, but my read of it was that it looked kind of like some sort of Organized Play setup with some In-Character cafe type elements. Do they run more freeform games there the way that is common over here on Paizo? A lot of the intro pages list characters and such having to be approved by the <b>"Site Administrator"</b>. I'm not interested in playing in or running a game where someone is micro-managing what I can or cannot do in a game I'm running. If I'm mistaken about that impression, and games can be run with a normal level of autonomy, please let me know, as it might make me more interested in giving the site another chance.</p>
<p>I'm pretty much on Paizo since I am established on the forum and used to the layout. I don't think I've actually played in a Pathfinder game in 2-3 years, come to think of it. </blockquote><p>Explorers Unlimited, the Palladium Rifts sister site (or mother site, technically), has a reputation for being micro-manage-y, and does some sort of guided character creation, but I'm not sure about the details. There's nothing of the sort on SavageRifts.com, other than the various GMs hashing out and voting on house rules and custom items. That only applies to custom content that is going to be usable site-wide — individual GMs can run their campaigns however they like.
<p>There's a little bit of cultural difference (heavy use of Google Hangouts, for example, for OOC/table chatter), but I think the forum tools are better, once you get used to them, and I think it's probably the most active community for Savage Rifts custom content out there (certainly more so than the PEG forums, oddly). Again, don't mean to derail your thread, just wanted to offer the info.</p>Rigor Rictus wrote:Nevermind Zen, I found the threads; they were on the Archived forum.

Mindful of the words spoken by the dying - or dead - orog, Kierdan says a prayer to ensure none rise again to afflict the surrounding lands.</p>
<p>The drovers and guards give the campsite a wide berth and travel on for several hours before setting camp. You rise early the next day, eager to return to Hochoch.</p>
<p>The sun is still an hour shy of noon when you crest the hill south of the town, which stretches out on the far side of the Realstream beneath a pall of smoke. The slums and temporary barracks outside the city's walls have grown in your absence, as has the number of banners camped in orderly rows near the western gate. Some new military effort must be forming, as the displaced people of Geoff seek to retake their land.</p>
<p>Wearily, you descend the final distance to the water, where the ferry waits to take you across. With the treasures you looted from the Mistress's lair and the tomb of Dalvan Meir safely secured in your magic sack, you avoid the hefty "recovery" taxes imposed by the city's military rulers, and pass into the city itself. Home at last.</p>
<p>Promising to meet the next day, you head to your individual homes or to the nearest inn, where baths, ale and hot meals await. You sleep well, despite the nagging worry of the evil you unearthed from the naga's abode. Such threats are for another day.</p>
<p>The next morning, each of you finds a slip of paper, tied in gray silk, beneath your door. Each contains an invitation to the Freckled Lass (aka the Poxie Doxie), the ale-soaked tavern where you first met. There, you are greeted by half a dozen members of the thieves guild known as the Talons — and at the back table, regal as a queen, the Snow Owl, Onshae.</p>

<p>Before they do, Alistair's <i>fireball</i> explodes among the <i>slowed</i> raiders. One of the giants is too hampered to avoid the flames and is badly burned, but the other - the one Rolen stuck with an arrow - as well as the armored brute manage to avoid the worst of the blast.</p>
<p>One of Eldramin's blasts knocks the armored figure into the fire before it can move, however, as another blast batters the most wounded giant.</p>

<p>The armored figure in the fire flails and tries to roll away before succumbing to his wounds. The remaining five brutes charge forward, covering the distance surprisingly quickly.

<p><b>"I wish I had some advice about where to take it. This village is certainly no place for it - it should be evident now we could not keep it sake.

There is little else of any value on the island - the Mistress's mortal form collapsed into dust, and none of her servants, living or undead, carried anything enchanted or high-quality.</p>
<p>With the rod safely stowed, you withdraw from the water-filled cavern and back through the serpent-filled passage to the embalming chamber and former prison. There, the surviving captives greet your return with jubilation. After sharing out some of your dwindling supply of food, you fortify the chamber and fall into a well-deserved sleep.</p>
<p>Upon waking, you gather up anything of value and explore the last few corners and shadowed chambers in the underground complex, steering clear of the deeper tunnels where the reek of the troglodytes is strongest. You pick up a few trinkets, and loot the previously unexplored barracks and kitchen on the upper level for the supplies you will need to make it back to Orlane.</p>
<p>You encounter only a handful of surviving cultists, most of them near-catatonic after the Mistress's defeat. They agree to return to Orlane with you and are nothing but cooperative. Of the other cultists, there is no sign - they've either fled into the tunnels below or the swamps above. You do not see them again.</p>
<p>The journey to Orlane is relatively uneventful. You lose a few villagers to illness, age and misfortune, but their deaths are due to no failure of your own. You make brief stop at the dryads' grove, where Dragomir attempts to return the <i>black axe</i>, but the dryad's refuse, instead granting him a blessing that seems to lift some of the weight the big man has been carrying since succumbing to the naga's <i>domination.</i></p>
<p>Several farmhands working the outer vineyards spot you as you approach Orlane, and half the village comes to meet you as the enter the village proper. A feast is called for in the reconsecrated temple of Merrika, and you soon receive a summons to meet with Ramne in his tower.</p>
<p>His son, the mayor, is there as well, and greets you warmly. Even Ramne at first seems at a loss for words, nearly overcome by emotion.</p>
<p><b>"I did not ... ahem, I did not dare to hope that my wife's death might be avenged while I still walked this plane,"</b> he says, clearing his throat repeatedly. <b>"But you have done what I could not, and for that all who live in the shadow of the Rushmoors owes you a great debt."</b></p>
<p>He seems about to choke up again when his son, Zakarias, steps in.</p>
<p><b>"I am sure you are eager to return to Hochoch, but I hope you will accept our hospitality, at least for the night. You look as if you have stories yet to tell, or mysteries to share, if I am not mistake."</b></p>With some difficulty, Dragomir is able to chip away at the surrounding stone to free the lead-lined coffer containing the rod.

<p>The discoloration spreads rapidly, eventually covering the wizard's chest and back and his right arm. The flesh smells putrid, but remains intact and flexible ... not unlike the flesh of certain well-preserved undead. Alistair feels a bit weak, struggling to catch his breath as whatever it is has burrowed into his lungs, but he can function more or less normally despite the infestation.</p>

<p>On the upside, the triggering the trap appears to have disabled it, leaving no trace on the lead-lined vault lid. Carefully, Dragomir chips away at the lead, then levers the lid open with his axe.</p>
<p>The lid slides away to reveal a shallow, lead-lined cavity. At the bottom, amid piles of dust, lies a rod of black iron, red gold and bone that resembles a skeletal human hand clutching a sphere made up of swirls of both metals. It is obviously highly enchanted.</p>

<p><b><i>"Now you know my power, and the pain I bring to bear. But worry not — your suffering will not end quickly,"</i></b> the Mistress says, rising slowly to tower over you.</p>
<p>Her ascent is stopped abruptly. Groaning in pain, Eldramin lashes out with his <i>revenant blade</i>, the broken shards of steel forming a glowing chain linked by green energy. The whip-like blade wraps around the naga's spectral form, sawing at her form and holding her in place.</p>
<p>Already chanting, Koralyn and Alistair unleash a swarm of arcane missiles, each one striking in small explosions of light that strip away more and more of the naga's ghostly substance. After five, six of the strikes, little is left but a glowing, beating heart, held in place by Eldramin's blade — then Rolen's black arrow impales it, and the last remnant of the naga's spirit dissipates like a blood spot on the water.</p>

<p>At least those that remained were no longer in the uninhibited throes of drink, as they were last night during the wedding party.

<p>And if the coin provided by working for this "G" allowed her to continue her search for the infidels who despoiled her clan's shrine, a few hours among the unclean was a small thing to endure.</p>
<p>Treading carefully past puddles of spilled ale and ... other things ... Namara made for the table where a small group appeared to be gathered. She spied a pair of dwarves - so unlike the well-manicured stout folk of her homeland - and two women.</p>
<p>One of the women appeared to be a servant of the heathen sun god, a crude imitation of wise Kor, unsharpened by the teachings of the Loregiver, but better than some of the faiths she'd encountered in the cold north. Walking up to the table, Namara smiled and introduced herself.</p>
<p><b>"Peace be upon you. I am Namara, a fellow sojourner and, I suspect, fellow supplicant to our prospective patron. May I join you as you share salt?"</b></p>

<p>As for nostalgia, I wasn't interested in replaying Dragons of Autumn Twilight, but rather in reinterpreting that scenario with our own characters. I'm all for outside the box, and to be honest, I've felt lost even with my familiarity with the books and modules.</p>

<p>Moondancer would have been tipped off by the enemies' lack of response and then I assume they have to draw in a deep breath or something that would provide a visual cue of their intent - at that point, if her reactions were fast enough (ie., she won initiative) she would have taken a shot. Surprise does not seem appropriate in this situation, as neither side attempted to be stealthy in the approach, and we specifically said we were keeping watch or advancing warily.</p>
<p>I don't mean to be a rules lawyer, and I'm not opposed to house rules, but I don't like it when they spring up, to the group's detriment, like this.

<br />
Something I've found when using older edition adventures is that the number of humanoid enemies (orcs, goblins, etc.) is deadly if you keep the numbers the same but use 5E stats. The goofy CRs in the MM make this worse. (The monsters in the MM tend to have very high offense and low hit points for their CR compared to the recommended ranges set out in the DMG, which has a slightly revised system. So while MM most monsters will go down in a round or two, they have a good chance of leaving a mark and are especially dangerous in groups).</p>
<p>Using the encounter building rules from the DMG (p. 82), a five member party of 3rd level PCs has an XP threshold ranging from 375 (easy) - 750 (medium) - 1125 (hard) - 2000 (deadly). Eight hobgoblins and a hobgoblin captain totals 1100 xp, but that gets multiplied by 2.5 due to the number of adversaries, for a total XP budget of 2750 - well beyond deadly for a party of our size.</p>
<p>Hopefully the dice will turn in our favor, but if we end up in a TPK, that's why. I learned that the hard way running a group through the Moathouse in T1 Village of Hommlet a few weeks ago. Things worked better when I adjusted numbers to match the DMG encounter building rules or used waves of mooks when I wanted to keep the numbers closer to the original.</p>Just as an FYI, since we're all a little new to 5E:

"The visions do seem to be coming from the preserver," Ala'a said, after listening to Barega relate the dream of the dark tower. "It is clear some part of his mind remains active. We were attacked by a swarm of thri-kreen, but he was able to drive them off, somehow, without saying a word."</p>

The sand dancing a cross-step across the top of the dunes was the first sign. The low whistle, like a whisper across the top of a bottle, the next and Ala'a needed no more after that.</p>

<p>As for the race points, everything was about 20 RP (or maybe 25, but equal) when I did my calculations. I didn't keep my notes, but on first blush it looks like you are valuing the wild talents at about half what I did. That accounts for part of the difference.</p>
<p>I also did not use strictly-by-the-book values for ability score increases, because doing so results in really stupid cost variations, as you illustrate. The dwarf's bonuses are effectively the same as the mul's (swapping more Con in place of more Strength), the only difference being that a dwarf has -2 Dex and +2 Wis. That's arguably worse, from an optimization standpoint, but under the Race Guide accounting, the mul's stat line costs 4 RP while the dwarf's cost 10 RP. That's a flaw in the Race Guide system, so I applied some common sense to the costs (reducing the dwarf's to mul levels, IIRC). That's another part of the discrepancy between your values and mine.</p>
<p>With the half-giant, you're only accounting for a +4 Strength, not +6, and refunding more for the negative stat adjustments than I did (a negative stat is not worth the same as a positive). You've also overvalued flexible alignment (aligned spells and weapons are quite rare on Athas) and undervalued great size (needing four times as much water as normal is a potentially fatal drawback on Athas) compared to my calculation.</p>
<p>Thri-kreen were the trickiest, and the least elegant, but are not as out of line as you have them. Exotic Frame effectively prevents them from wearing anything better than light armor (there's no mithral or <i>celestial plate</i> on Athas, and no monk class in my version) and eliminates a couple of magic item slots, so I ranked it considerably more than a -2. Also, you need to re-read my version of "multi-armed" - it is significantly nerfed, until/unless you invest two feats.</p>
<p>In the end, I don't think there's any significant power difference between my thri-kreen and the published <a href="http://www.d20pfsrd.com/races/other-races/more-races/advanced-races-11-20-rp/kasatha-20-rp" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">kasatha</a>, at 20 RP, beyond quirks in the point system.</p>
<p>So, long story short, I'm not surprised everything doesn't add up under the Race Guide system, because the Race Guide system is pretty unbalanced. I used it as a guide and adjusted as needed to balance races against each other and within the campaign world.</p>
<p>After playtesting these rules in two campaigns (one home, one PbP), I'm more or less satisfied with the balance, especially with humans, half-elves, elves, halflings and dwarves. (Although in hindsight, I would probably go with a standard point-buy. The 5d4 was nostalgic, but just creates uneven and potentially OP characters, creating more work scaling up the opposition).</p>
<p>Half-giants and to a lesser extent muls are open to abuse if a player wants to really min-max a warrior, but that's a problem with any high-strength race (ability scores are not created equal, no matter what the Race Guide says). Half-giants' large size is another boost, although the scarcity of quality, large equipment tends to keep that in check. (Under my equipment rules, a non-magical, MW large steel greatsword costs more than a <i>+3</i> weapon somewhere else).</p>
<p>Thri-kreens are probably the most easily abused if you wanted to create some kind of melee monster. In my own campaigns, I deal with that through DM fiat - those characters don't get approved. But the thri-kreen problems (multi-attack, natural weapons) are Pathfinder problems - I'm not sure how to make the race reflect its 2E roots without stumbling into a couple of the Pathfinder ruleset's problem areas.</p>
<p>In the end, I lack the motivation to make any further revisions. The rules served my purposes, but I don't intend to run another game using Pathfinder once my current Dark Sun PbP wraps up. Play, maybe, and I expect I'll keep subscribing the the APs and fiction, but I've got no more appetite for the rules-bloat, fiddliness and accumulated imbalance of 3.X as a GM. If these can be of help to other Pathfinder GMs, that's great. But the next Dark Sun house rules I put together and run are going to be for 5E (5E rules plus classic 2E settings seems to be a pretty easy fit, and right in line with my current preferences).</p>Bodhizen: Regarding templars, keeping them spontaneous gives them less flexibility.

<p>Aerik starts to break the seal but stop abruptly when he spies the bear stamped there. He hesitates for a moment, then draws his knife, using it to peel the seal away from the paper more or less intact. His lips move as he reads the words inside.</p>
<p>"Well, reckon your message is received, boy. Now, run along ahead to the Behir and Beholder and tell one of Jerrid's girls to draw me a few buckets of water from the well for washing, and a bucket of that watered-down piss her father brews to quench my thirst."

<p>A few hours later he sits in the Behir, nursing a flagon of ale and turning the wax seal over and over between thick fingers.</p>
<p><i>Who was this man with the bear for his sigil? How many letters had he written? How many bears, torn asunder by dumb fingers ignorant of the destruction they wrought?</i></p>
<p>Aerik could sense the darkness closing in on the edges of his vision like a fog, thick with dark secrets. He pushes them back with a growl, downing the rest of his ale in a long gulp. No time for prophecies now, even if they were god-sent. Kord could wait.</p>
<p>"Jerrid! This ale is fit for nursing babies! If you'd brew something a little stronger, I wouldn't have to drink so much of it. Or perhaps that's your plan, getting all of us to water the potatoes you're growing in the alley!"</p>
<p>Aerik grins, showing white teeth to let the taverner know he means no disrespect. "Fill me another before I go. I've a feeling I won't be making it back tonight for nightcap."</p>
<p>After paying his bill, the big man pushes away from the bar and heads to the meeting place. He checks his blades in their scabbards and tucks the wax seal into a pocket of his coin purse, then walks inside.</p>Aerik pauses to shrug out of his maille before taking the message from the boy.
