  • The legendary art thief, smuggler and dealer-to-the-greats Michel van Rijn deserves a place in your game research, whether you believe in him or not.
  • When we got in, the mind flayer database was just one huge denormalized table. The wizard wanted to scribe out the column names.
  • Research for two projects at once: loading pipes onto a rabelo, some time before 1960.
  • Multitool magic item: look through the lens to detect ethereal radiances, swing by the base to inflict spike-and-fire damage, tilt the head and use as a cup-rest to detect poisons.
  • The most effective binding spells are the ones people choose for themselves.
  • Or you can simply bind a wizard, Han-style, into your grimoire.
  • Some spellbooks come pre-loaded with trap spells, either to keep the unlearned out or to defend the owner in a pinch. This one has Entanglement, Bleeding Pelican (cure serious wounds), and Suit of Knives.

  • Crossword Spell Research October 11, 2017
    I've always loved playing magic-users, loved finding and searching for books in D&D, and the open-ended possibilities that being allowed to make your own spells gives the game.  Here's an idea for making player spell research interesting and engaging itself, by making it a mini-game.  I haven't tried it yet (I plan to offer it, but my play […]
