New Magic Item – Spike Seeds

November 6, 2009

Beware the dangers of the forest paths.

The elf reached for a pouch at his belt and dodged behind a tree.  The ogre lumbered after him, a moment later, it cried out in pain, its huge feet pierced by clusters of thorns that had sprung up as though by magic.

Tuesday Magic Item – Tentacle Face Potion

November 3, 2009

More silliness from the new campaign.  For all you merry pranksters:

Tentacle Face Potion

Usually this potion is as colorless, tasteless and scentless as the maker can manage as it is designed to be added to someone else’s drink.  Its use is a common prank among apprentices and others with a magical bent.

New Spell – Stomp

November 2, 2009

T wanted a personal spell for Kael in the new Taren Kost campaign and this is what he got:

The wizard brought down his heavy wooden shoe and a crack ran from the impact point to where the warrior stood.  The floor around him erupted in a gout of stone and dust, swallowing him up for a second or two.

November Plans

November 1, 2009

Welcome to November, the ninth month of the Roman calendar, in the traditional Irish calendar, Winter begins today and (in the US anyway) a return to standard time.   It also sees the begining of NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) which I will be participating in, as usual, and perhaps I will even complete it this time.

In light of that, and seeing no obvious theme to November I will just write about whatever inspires me.   I will keep to the standard Monday, Wednesday, Friday content schedule.  However, if you have any requests, anything you would like to see or any theme you would like me to expand upon, please let me know and I will try to fit it in.

New Monster – Dragon Descendant (Template)

October 30, 2009

The mixing of the blood and dragons and mortals is not uncommon on the Sea of Stars.  Among some, the blood expresses itself:

Dragon Descendant

The blood of dragons is strong and even distant descendants of the mighty dragons sometime inherit part of their strength.  Some dragons gather such distant relations to serve them.  Other with draconic blood make their own way with their enhanced strength and abilities.

Dragon descended creatures are highly prized as guardians and fighting beasts.
