Ancient Vaults & Eldritch Secrets Blog

#1 Post by Alethan »

This is an awesome blog with almost daily posts. Much of the time, it is a new magic item, spell, or creature.

Today's blog entry is a new playable race for B/X and LL rules:

A class that has better saving throws. better to-hits, casts spells, has infravision, and a similar if not lower XP (comparing to LL)
versus what negative?

I didn't say it was canon. Or that it was perfect. Just a resource for ideas.

I know... I just was laughing at the attempt to create a power gnome. i just didnt see any offsetting hindrances to keep those powers in check. It would feel like a d&d game version of some pixar kids movie where 5-6 gnomes save the world.

I think those are Trolls, aren't they? The kind with the tall hair.

On a side note, that would be hilarious if all of the trolls we come across in these games had really tall green and orange hair that came to a point. And just before a battle, they'd spin around in a circle and the hair would fall out all crazy and wild-like. Then they'd charge, teeth gnashing and claws scraping.

Sometimes this summer I will most likely be participating in another 24 hour game of Dungeons & Dragons as part of Extra Life. This organization uses gaming to help raise money to donate to children's hospitals. I'm raising money for Marshfield Children's Hospital in Marshfield, WI, and all money I raise will go to that hospital. All donations are tax-deductible. Please take a moment to check out my donation page below. Thank you.
