Hey there Story Hour forum, been a while. For those who don’t know me, I was very active on this forum from roughly 2002 through 2010, posting stories that were a mix of fiction and campaign write-ups. Writing these stories was a way of familiarizing myself with new editions and campaign...

Trying something new this time. Readers of my previous stories (all of which are linked in my sig) know that I have thus far posted fictional serials based on a variety of published D&D settings and modules. This story is different. It is based on a Neverwinter Nights (NWN) campaign that I...

I'm sure this was discussed earlier, probably around the time 4e came out, but I couldn't find it in any of the nearby threads in this forum. I didn't see these mentioned in the collected errata thread, or in the Wizards errata list. I was reading through Keep of the Shadowfell and the Monster...

These are characters for my fictional 4e story, located here. This is my first shot at 4e characters, so comments are welcomed. They are not necessarily optimal, but I tried to make them effective within the character concepts I had developed. * * * * * Jaron, Halfling Male Ranger 1 Str...

I don't see this option under the "Thread Tools" header any more. I used to use this feature a lot to grab Story Hour threads as text files, since ENWorld is blocked at work. Also, on the printer-friendly version of the page there is an option to show 30 posts/page, which is unnecessary as...

This thread is for readers of my Doomed Bastards story hour, which has taken a group of unlikely heroes through the superdungeon Rappan Athuk and beyond. I’ve been writing that story hour for quite some time now, and as I approached the end, I reached a point where the finale could have gone in...

Greetings to my regular readers and other ENWorlders. I am continuing my newest story that started with a run through Keep on the Shadowfell, bringing in some new characters for Thunderspire Labyrinth. As I did with my original Travels through the Wild West story hour, I decided to write a...

Just a check on the rules for the various elemental-summoning items (e.g. the brazier of summoning fire elementals). These items are basically unlimited-use, right? They seem rather overpowered for what they are, even at 100k gp value. A command-word, unlimited-use item for 7th level spells...

I have a question about commanding undead. Can an evil cleric willingly defer commanding undead (instead rebuking), if the levels he would command exceed those he can control? Say you have a 7th level cleric. By rule, he can control a single ghoul (2HD, +2 turn resistance). But he can rebuke...

This thread is for stats and discussion of the major characters of my story hour, "The Doomed Bastards in the Dungeon of Graves." A band of very unlucky souls is sentenced for their crimes to loot Rappan Athuk. How many--if any--will survive? I started the characters out at 5th level with 28...

Well, here we go again. It’s been over a whole month since my last expedition through the Story Hour forum ended, a trek that took the better part of three years to complete. Since then I’ve been tinkering with a few novels (one new, one I’d started in 2001), but neither has really fully...

At this point it seems to be a hot rumor, without official confirmation from Obsidian, but a developer apparently said this in response to a question: http://nwn2forums.bioware.com//forums/viewpost.html?topic=480610&post=4114003&forum=95&highlight= This is IMO a big blow to the NWN...

Does anyone know when the next installment of the "Shackled City" Adventure Path is scheduled to be printed? With Paizo saying that Poly's being ditched and a new focus on more mods in the future coming, I have elected to resubscribe, but would prefer to wait so that the next Adventure Path mod...

I've got a gold dwarf paladin of Moradin that's about to hit 5th level, and I don't think that a heavy warhorse fits with the character or the setting. The party's in Cauldron of the Dungeon "Adventure Path", ported over to the Forgotten Realms. Gold dwarves, for those who aren't familiar...

Just curious: how much oxygen is in a 10' cube? The spell's windowless cell mode lasts for a minimum of 26 hours, and I was wondering if this meant eventual death for most air-breathing creatures.

Here are the major characters thus far from the Shackled City Adventure Path story. Feel free to comment/make suggestions/note corrections. I will add to the thread as new characters appear in the story and the existing characters level up. All characters were created using a 28 point built...

Greetings! Upon concluding my Travels through the Wild West series of stories, I’ve created this new tale, which involves a group of 1st level characters whom I will run through the Shackled City “Adventure Path” of modules that are being published in Dungeon magazine. The complete series of...

I must admit that I do not own the Manual of the Planes, although I have perused a copy. I've got a group that's about to enter the Abyss, and wish to clarify a few rules points. In 1e/2e, there were extensive changes to magical items and spells when one passed onto the Outer Planes...

All this discussion about the new Mystic Thaumaturge (or whatever it's called) PrC got me thinking about something. Can a multiclassed Wiz/Clr use his familiar to conduct divine touch spells? I had this weird mental flash of a Wiz/Clr/MT using his toad familiar to cast harm, and then hurl the...

Greetings ENWorlders. I'm running a Neverwinter Nights one-shot tournament-style module based on a modified version of my "Torgan's Delve" mini-campaign. Please visit http://www.neverwinterconnections.com/games/index.cfm/fuseaction/displaygame/id/2188.htm for more information. I cannot...
