Ring of Sly Invisibility

Posted by Mike on October 19th, 2006

Rings of Invisibility are great items all around. Any character can find countless ways to take advantage of it in any situation. While it’s ability to render you invisible knows no limit, the fact that it requires a standard action to activate greatly reduces it’s combat effectiveness beyond the first round. In addition to that, [...]

UnCon - The Unconventional Convention

Posted by Mike on October 18th, 2006

The Wiz is having an “unconventional online convention” called UnCon (I wonder what marketing monkey came up with that name). Since the convention is online, anyone can attend any of the multitude of events that are planned. Festivities kick off Monday, October 23rd (at 3am in the morning!).

From what I’ve seen so far, there’s [...]

I’ve had some conversations about creatures raging and how much concern they have for their personal safety while in a raging state - both monsters and PCs.
I don’t think a creature while raging necessarily needs to be idiotic, mindless and so focused that they’ll willfully do things that do not grant any benefit. They can [...]

Children of the Hydra’s Teeth

Posted by Mike on October 12th, 2006

I’m a fan of old fantasy movies. One of my favorites is Jason and the Argonauts (circa 1963).
If you’re not familiar with the movie, the premise is simple - Jason has to adventure for the golden fleece and faces a number of challenges along the way. The guardian of the fleece is the fearsome hydra, [...]
