Re: The Southern Jewel - The Kingdom of Cetha

An unsigned letter sits in the Gentlemen's Club, nailed to the board. People, How many times does this tragedy need to play out? How many times do your leaders need to make false promises?

Re: Mother of All Witches and her three Riders

Gerald Edmund can be seen leaving the scene of Baba Yaga's arrival riding atop the back of a two-story tall Nightmare. The beast's fiery mane is easily visible from the night sky as it soars over Cordor in the direction of the Obsidian Isle.

The Dev Crit Weapon Master

Honestly NPCs don't really get involved in pvp. You're just not allowed to pvp in areas inhabited with NPCs without DM oversight.

Re: Gear question for a sorc

My recommendations vary from Kobra's in that I recommend going for the +5 cha cloak, but to make up for the lack of a fortification cloak you want to get the +2 CON/+3 universal saves belt - and get a Ring of power ASAP if you don't already have one.
