  • SOLUZIONE: ICEWIND DALE II PROLOGO TARGOS DOCK: 1. Il Soldato Ferito
    SOLUZIONE: ICEWIND DALE II PROLOGO TARGOS DOCK: 1. Il soldato ferito: Ed eccovi finalmente arrivati a Targos! Sfuggiti all’attacco dei goblin, siete infine riusciti ad approdare al porto di una delle Ten Towns sotto assedio con una delle poche navi sopravvissute. Parlando con il capitano Hedron Kerdos verrete a sapere che Lord Ulbrec si occupa di assoldare i mercenari come voi, quindi dovrete rivolgervi a lui per il vostro pagamento. Inoltre, verrete a sapere che la madre del capitano Hedron vive in città, e che l’unica taverna locale si chiama Salty Dog. All’ingresso del molo troverete Jon e Reig, quest’ultimo ferito dai goblin che scoprirete imperversare per la città; parlate con Reig, chiedetegli armi, armature, e gli oggetti del loro compagno defunto (utilizzate un personaggio neutrale o malvagio per questo), e offritevi di occuparvi del suo braccio ferito. Quest: Potete curare Reig per attutirgli il dolore, ma dovrete andare a recuperare delle pozioni di cura da Magdar Shenlen per curare definitivamente la ferita. Magdar si trova all’interno del grosso edificio a nord (punto 5 sulla mappa), ma dovrete forzare o scassinare la porta di ingresso per entrare. Una volta all’interno, parlate con Magdar, che vi dirà di cercare le Potion of Healing all’interno del magazzino (utilizzate il tasto Alt per evidenziare gli oggetti). Le pozioni si trovano in una cassa nell’angolo nord-est dell’edificio, ma fate attenzione ai tre goblin che faranno presto irruzione nell’edificio dall’ingresso. Una volta recuperate le pozioni, portatene una da Reig per curare la sua ferita.

  • Changes to D&D Adventurers League Rewards
    Changes to D&D Adventurers League Rewards Xanathar’s Guide to Everything (XGE) presents our campaign with a number of exciting possibilities, including the chance reconceptualize and simplify how we handle rewards. With the start of season 8, the D&D Adventurers League (DDAL) will be undergoing a sweeping overhaul of many of our rulesets and here we focus on how we can make our system of rewards fit more styles of play and give players more choices. Let’s take a look at the new changes regarding rewards. Advancement Checkpoints Starting with Season 8, the DDAL will be using the Advancement Checkpoint system described in XGE with some slight adjustments (see below). This system rewards every character (and player) for taking part in a play session. For published hardcover adventures, a character receives 1 advancement checkpoint for each hour played that DM deems the characters are making progress towards the adventure’s goals. For all other types of Adventurer’s League adventures, the adventure’s prescribed duration determines the number of advancement checkpoints that a character receives, with those checkpoints being awarded for achieving specific goals listed in the adventure. The Fruits of Success and Price of Failure Some adventures may award or subtract an advancement checkpoint based on the level of success. For example, your party might complete an epic quest and save all the land, receiving a bonus checkpoint, or they might choose to let all the innocents burn in favor of sleeping in, losing an advancement checkpoint from their total for playing that adventure. Playing Out of Tier References to rewards for playing above or below a character’s tier are ignored.

Well, you will if you pick up a copy of Fiendish Codex I: Hordes of the Abyss, which is packed full of information on demons and demon lords and how to use all this nastiness in your campaign. The chapter on demon lords mentions aspects of the demon lords as more common foes than the demon lords themselves, FIENDISH but few aspects are presented in the book since the ASPECTS designers put so many other useful things in that tome. Well, that is where this little guide comes in. In A Web Enhancement for Fiendish this combined edition of Fiendish Aspects, you’ll meet eleven aspects of demon lords, all suitable for mid- Codex I: Hordes of the Abyss level campaigns.
