Re: Aergraith's Sunday C&C: "Heroes and Scoundrels of Xylh"

This is why Lissette (lawful good) is considered so weird in Xylh. The natives would never hurt a child. A little chaos is always welcome. A convivial event is judged by its exuberance. The more laughter and joy the better the food and company. Seriously though it is a dangerous thing to offend a li...

Re: Aergraith's Sunday C&C: "Heroes and Scoundrels of Xylh"

Before Mercutio set off for home Zumbido asked if he would like to hear a story. She once trained a bard and as a grandmother she knew a tale or two. The Chimera and the Desert Rat A Chimera was awakened by a Desert Rat running right over his face. "Insignificant vermin! How dare you show such ...

Re: Haunted Highlands Witch Class

If anything it would make much more sense for them to WANT to look like/be a Hag. Unless they don't want to be burnt at the steak, or dunked in the water chair the next time a group of adventurers/witch hunters pass through the area. Or, they want to actually be around people and not isolated out i...

Re: Haunted Highlands Witch Class

See, if the players want me to make it OK for Hags they play to continue leveling and gaining more spells, then I as the CK get to have my monster hags do the same. So while up front you may think I am being nice, but down the road, when I throw the Arch Mage level Witch Hag at you, you will hate m...

Because you are a kind and generous CK. =D The chances of losing three rolls in a row isn't all that likely so it probably wouldn't be a problem ... it is the logic that is hinky.

Haunted Highlands Witch Class

This aspect of the Witch class makes no sense to me. The goddess for this character class revels in being hideous. But if her worshipper starts to look ugly she will stop levelling? This seems unnecessarily harsh for a character that can't wear armour. FLESH OF THE HAG ... This benefit does not come...

Re: Penny's Wednesday night game slot

I strongly prefer a Wednesday Aergraith game to completely avoid the problem of having to alternate games each week. Playing every two weeks really ruins the continuity for me -- especially when a holiday interferes and makes the break even longer.

The fleshcrawler's XP does indeed seem low.

Also, roleplaying XPs are mostly given each session as well as battle roleplaying ...
