  • Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil ERRATA and FAQ
    Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil ERRATA AND FAQ A collaborative product of the members of Monte Cook's Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil web forum. Compiled, edited, and formatted by Siobharek. PDF version edited by ZansForCans. Modified: 11 February 2003 The definitive source for this errata and FAQ can be found in the ‘sticky’ threads at the top of the topic list on Monte Cook's Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil web forum. None of these errata or FAQ are official in any way (i.e. Monte or WotC have not said "That's right."), but most have been agreed to be accurate and true to the core rulebooks by many DMs running this adventure. NPC stats corrections are grouped in the appropriate chapter that the NPC appears in. In some cases, there is no ‘fix’ suggested—the errata is simply provided to alert you to a discrepancy. You didn’t think we’d do all the work for you, did you? It may seem like there are quite a lot of errata for this product. There are! Part of the explanation we have heard is that Monte was working on the adventure while D&D 3e was still being finalized. The rest we simply blame on his editors. ;) We welcome further corrections and additions to this list. However, when and if you find something that doesn't seem right, please check in every available rulebook. For instance, adding the right number of feats and stat increases to monsters with classes can be fiendishly hard but check it and double check it as much as you can.

  • Gargoyle Gamble Transcribed by Graeme "WO2" Walker
    By Ross "Pancreas Boy" Franks, as appeared in Pancreas Boy's Wyrdstone Shards Scenario 057 – Gargoyle Gamble Transcribed by Graeme "WO2" Walker. Edited by The Mordheimer. A crazed beggar has been blurting out that gargoyles have been talking to him in what is left of the rich quarters. He believes one particular gargoyle told him that if he could bring him some Wyrdstone he would help him out with his problems. You quickly decide to help the beggar right her and now and lock him in an unused cell and seek this gargoyle yourself. Terrain Each player takes it in turns to place a piece of terrain set up within an area roughly 4’x4’ with a gargoyle in the centre. Setup Each player rolls a dice. Whoever rolls highest chooses who sets up first. Both warbands start opposite each other. Special Rules It's Alive!: There are D3+1 Wyrdstones on the board, 10” away from the table edge and 6” away from each other and from the gargoyle. Place them as in the “Wyrdstone Hunt”. On returning them to the golem they melt into its form and disappear. The gargoyle then comes alive and you will need to see if it is under your control. Roll under your leadership on 2D6. Each Wyrdstone placed into the gargoyle, by the figure trying to control it, adds +1 to their leadership roll. If controlled the gargoyle fights with you, if not it immediately charges you. Anyone with Wyrdstones can attempt to control the gargoyle by being in base contact with it and by transferring the stones into the gargoyle.
