Good alternative explanation for the origin of sorcerous powers. For a more convential sorceror, make the prophet a demon or a familliar, with or without a body. Only big minus point: what is the agenda of the prophet? Are they divided into factions with opposite plans? Why does mankind fit in those plans? 4/5 Go to Comment
I can not help it but this reminds me of a certain critter of a certain tv series. But otherwise a nice critter to summon. This is going to make our geomancer happy, it is often felt he loses in damage-potential of the pyromancer, this will even things a bit... Independently, it makes a great elemental defender of unspoilt nature. Go to Comment
I do not see a voting button, but I would give this scroll a full 5/5, for excellent backstory and realistic technical details, without being limited to a single setting. This would be the Mecha for a futuristic Warrant Hussein or Kim Il Sung: impressive in parades, effective against the masses, utterly useless against serious military opposition. Go to Comment
Simply GREAT article! Makes me thirsty for some sake yet also teaches me nice stuff to mention at parties. I onlywould like more information on those drinking customs - my DM already made our dwarven barbarian suffer through an imperial tea-ceremony while in another dimension, a sake-ceremony would at least be more appreciated by him.

A order of monks would seem more fitting than a priestly order, as they do not seem to actively worship anything. Maybe followers of deities of the sky and of knowledge working together?
Now, regarding the name, it is very tempting to call it the Order of Starry Wisdom.... Go to Comment
Seems like the perfect gift for that foolhardy barbarian who allways rushes into combat but also whines he needs more protection.... Let's see if he can stomach the Mother Hen Armor! Go to Comment
Seems likesomething Saddam's Irak, North Korea or similar rogue state might produce - it's a disastreous piece of work, even if it loses. Go to Comment
While not very original, this is a very useful and game-saving item, with a decent backstory. Adventurers should only get these items when they have become the favored agents of a powerfull patron, misuse should be heavily punished Go to Comment
