What Do You Mean He Can't Climb? He's Like 30th level?!

When I went to write This Post, I was surprised to discover that Raven has basically Zero Ranks in Climb.

None.

Zilch.

Nada.

He's the highest level character in the party and can't climb any better than Farmer Fred or Joe Commoner.  Even worse, he doesn't have any magical items that confer Flight, Levitation, or Climbing ability.

Someone is definitely going to have to spend some points in areas that have been neglected over the years.

Road Trip to the Dragon Isles - Return of the Green-cloaked Mercenary

Image
TWO DAYS AGO... Garek Uth Fane swung down from the saddle on the green dragon's back. He had just spent the last few hours riding from Pashin to Ak-Krin. Dozens of Khurs gathered along the main path leading through the village. Batu Khan was at the front of the group. "I see someone got my message," the horseman laughs. "What is the rest of it worth to you?" Garek frowns, "I am not here to bargain. Tell me where the Solamnic is. My... ride," he nods his head in the direction of the dragon, "hungers. I will allow him to feed on your people if I do not get the answers I seek." Batu smiles, "You could do that. But if that happens, then I can promise you that I will be the first person your dragon must slay and I am the only one who knows where your knight is heading." The two men stare at each other for a minute. Garek shakes his, "You must be insane." Another laugh from the Khan, "Not at all. I just respond more re...

Silvanesti Strikes Back

Image
02 Deepkolt 349 AC Shadow agrees to wait till closer to dawn to let the troops rest from their journey.  He gets some rest and prepares his spells before donning Skulk's garb again. Once the rest of the infiltration team is ready he casts Overland Flight on himself and tucks Spewer into his bag of holding, leaving his head poking out for now. “I am gonna ask you to hide in the sack and when the goblin opens it, I want you to spit in his face. Just make sure it’s not me.” Ra’ziir visits with Redclaw for a bit, feeding him scraps of meat and brushing him. “We’re planning to attack some Goblins and Worg riders at dawn… Now, I know we don’t have much in the way of flight time together, but if you’re interested in giving me a ride, it might be a good time to start accruing those hours in the air. What do you think big fella, want to fly me out there?” The griffon leans in, pushing the top of his head against Ra'ziir's hand and makes a nodding motion. ”Well alright! Rest up, ...

Tarithnesti - Defenders' Final Preparations

Image
02 Deepkolt 349 AC Shadow gathers the companions together and tell them, “Good hunting, my friends. Let us banish this goblin scourge from these lands.” As he stands before them in obviously mismatched goblin clothes and gear covering his own, he has a mischievous look in his eyes. “I figure we will fly until we get close to the camp and then I will take the form of one of the goblins, Skulk, what’s his name. And tell them that I encountered a black elf asleep last night and stole his magic. And now I can FLY!”  The Drow spreads his arms and runs as a child would flying around his friends like a bird. “Then I will pull out the scroll and cast mass charm on them to help them believe in my cause to take over!  Then, we unleash chaos on the camp. And my favorite kind of chaos is uncontrolled fire.” With that, Shadow steps back and crosses his arms, adjusts the goblin gear a little bit. He looks at Grotto and says “how do I look?” Grotto looks at his friend, "Very convincing. I f...

Weapon Kosher

Image
I first discovered the Magic Pickle at my oldest son's school book fair years ago. I bought the book for myself and quickly picked up the rest of the series. Now my youngest son is obsessed with the character and the Pickle's books are, by far, his most requested bedtime stories. He can identify every character, especially the villains (the Egg Poacher is his favorite), and does a fake echo of "produce... produce... produce..." every time I read him the origin of the " BROTHERHOOD OF EVIL PRODUCE ." With the August release of Magic Pickle and the Roots of Doom by Scott Morse, I thought it was about time I finally got around to finishing the d20 version of the titular gherkin. Like all of the other superheroes appearing in my campaign , Weapon Kosher (his official government code name) exists on Earth-218 .  Weapon Kosher (a.k.a. Magic Pickle a.k.a MP) CR: 5     Diminutive Plant (Mutant) Class: Metahuman 3     HD: 3d8+6 (22 hp) Energy:...

Yes, But... What if it was Shadowrun (Part 5)

Image
Earth-218, Seattle, 2050 AD Neon bled through the grimy, rain-streaked windows of Chonky's .  The place smelled of old fryer oil and regret hung heavy in the air. Raven sat in the naugahyde booth, long dark hair tied with a leather cord, green pirate jacket looking wildly out of place surrounded by chrome fixtures and flickering holo-menus. His hand rested near the hilt of Nightwatcher, wrapped carefully in cloth beneath the table. Across from him, Rudy , once the superhero known as Char —broad, scarred, and with a lot more white in his hair than he liked to think about —sipped coffee from a Styrofoam cup, a Big Chungus with fries sitting before him. “I know you can't be poisoned but,” the elf said, ears twitching as a synthesizer music rattled the walls, “you actually eat this stuff ?” The man snorted. “Hey, it’s cheap and open at 2 a.m. Who am I to judge?" The door slid open with a hiss. Three punks walked in—neon mohawks, tattoos scrawled across their necks, pierci...

Yipes the Zebra

Image
Those of you who have been following my page for awhile know that I have a penchant for weird NPCs . Today's offering is no exception.  Yipes is an anthropomorphic zebra with red, green, and yellow stripes instead of black ones. He is able to use human speech, is fond of sports, and works as an advertising mascot for Fruit Stripe Gum. Standard Zebra (as light horse with the following change) SQ: Stripes Stripes (Ex): A zebra's stripes help regulate its body temperature, granting it a +4 racial bonus on Fortitude saves against hot environments. Additionally, they serve to confuse biting flies, reducing the zebra's chance of being targeted by them by 50%. Yipes the Zebra CR: 1     Large Animal (Upright)      HD: 3d8+6     Hp: 19 Init +1     Spd: 60' (all all fours), 30' (walking upright) AC: 13 (-1 size, +1 Dec, +3 natural), t: 10, ff: 12 BA...
