Hi all,
did anyone leveled CarrionHill allready up so it fits between the 3rd and the 4th module?
I'm not really good balancing combat statistics (last ones failed epicly).
Hi all,
did anyone leveled CarrionHill allready up so it fits between the 3rd and the 4th module?
I'm not really good balancing combat statistics (last ones failed epicly).
I was thinking about taking a crack at it when I get the time. I'll keep you updated in this thread when I get around to it.

When a dark slayer is slain, its body implodes violently into nothingness, leaving its gear in a heap on the ground. All

When a dark slayer damages a flat-footed foe or a foe it is flanking with a melee touch spell or spell-like ability that deals hit point damage, the spell does an additional 1d6 points of damage and the dark slayer gains an equal amount of temporary hit points. These temporary hit points last for a maximum of 1 hour.

Very interesting, very nice. I'm curious, though... did you do anything to Yarresh other than add class levels and adjust stats as necessary? Because I'm seeing a three-level jump but a +4 adjustment to CR and not sure how that adds up. (Just for the record, I don't have much of a head for stat blocks, so if I'm missing something obvious just say so.)

Doh!!! You are right, this version of Yarresh should indeed be CR 9. I recommend just adding the advanced template to justify the CR 10.

Void-touched (template):
This template can be added to any living creature with an intelligence score of 3 or higher. The void-touched creature has somehow been touched by terrible forces from beyond and as a result its mind has shattered. The creature gains a permanent insanity (either rolled randomly or chosen by the DM). Any spell that normally cures insanity, will only supress the condition for one round per spell level. Only divine intervention or certain artifacts may cure this insanity. The addled mind of a void touched creature renders it immune to mind-affecting effects and once per day the creature may use True seeing as a spell-like ability at a caster level equal to his hit dice/level. (CR +0)
Arcanist of the Dark tapestry (wizard Archetype)
You have learnt some of the terrible truths about the void between the stars and what lurks within. This grants you increased magical insight, but this power does not come without a price.
At 1st level permanently reduce your wisdom score by 2
At 1st level you gain a forbidden tome, this tome contains one spell one level higher than the maximum level you can cast. You may cast this spell as if it were one level lower (although it still counts as it normal level for the purpose of DC and effects like globe of invulnerability). The spell must be chosen from the list below. Whenever you cast a spell from this tome you suffer 1d2 points of wisdom damage and are confused for one round unless you make a will save (DC 15+spell level).
Every time you gain a new level of spell you gain a new spell to add to your forbidden tome. In addition, once per day you may refer to the tome as a move action to gain a +5 bonus on any one Knowledge (Arcana), (The planes), (Dungeoneering) or (Religion) check.
You may only memorize one such spell for each spell level you know how to cast.
If anyone else but you should try to read your forbidden tome the reader will only see incomprehensible gibberish (even if he use magic like comprehend languages) and must make a will save (DC 10 plus 1/2 your level plus your Int modifier) or be confused for one round per caster level you have. Should your forbidden tome be stolen or destroyed it will turn into disgusting ichor and alien writhing worms at your command (a full round action)and mysteriously reappear in your possession after 24 hours. This counts as a supernatural ability. Other than this the tome has the physical properties of a normal spellbook. Any additional spell written into this tome can be read as a normal spell using read magic or similar means.
This ability replaces Arcane bond.
Forbidden tome spells:
2nd level spells: Touch of idiocy, Lesser confusion, Detect thoughts, See invisibility, Hideous laughter
3rd level spells: Rage, Magic circle (Chaos and evil only), Blood biography, Seek thought
4th level spells: Confusion, Dimensional anchor, Black tentacles, Phantasmal killer
5th level spells: Nightmare, Dismissal, Lesser planar binding, Contact other plane, Feeblemind, Mind fog, Dream
6th level spells: Planar binding, True seeing, Legend lore, Eyebite, Fluid form
7th level spells: Insanity, Banishment, Plane shift, Vision, Limited wish
8th level spells: Scintillating pattern, Dimensional lock, Moment of prescience, Binding, Symbol of insanity (the yellow sign)
9th level spells: Weird, Freedom, Imprisonment, Gate, Foresight, Interplanetary Teleport, Wish

I greatly appreciate you working on these. I just got the module for Carrion Hill and I'm going to be fitting it in between 3 and 4, possibly within the next week. Having these stats is a blessing.
Being a first time GM, I'm realizing the pros and cons to running a game and I really feel that, to have a good game, I need to prepare as much as possible (taking notes, highlighting the module for DC's and dialogue and researching spells and affects...)
Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that your work is appreciated.
