I think that is a good idea. It might give some other gamers some ideas on divisions of weight and measurement.
I blame my education, my school teacher told me stones were 20 pounds. As for the tone of my comment, I apologize, I was checking the site after pulling a 12 hour shift and was cranky.
3/5 for the basic item, plus another point for excellent presentation, and another point for just creeping me out with the whole mermaid looking like a corpse bit.
I wouldnt call a Ring of Water Breathing power overwhelming, but the point remains valid that in the end, all of Dans wealth, and the power of his magic ring did not avail him when death came to his door. Go to Comment
Okay, it does deserve a 1/5 but I felt generous at the moment. One would think that since multiple gods of evil enfolded their power into the ring...erm...necklace, that they would have had the foresight and ability to see to its safe bearing. The one ring wasnt lost until it was taken by the good guys, who lost it. Also, how does one enfold power? I am thinking Sentinel might have meant invest or imbue.
Plus it was an oversight on my part that the necklace was lost to the crushing depths of the black sea. So somewhere there is a deep sea crab invested with the power of the dark gods bent on undersea domination because the necklace drifted down and landed on in. Go to Comment
A nice character, I dont think I would blame him for leaving the confines of the gilded cage. (A nice term, that) Reminds me of Hamlet, but instead of being an intellectual to his disadvantage, Michael is a humanist to his disadvantage.
Another plot hook I thought of, the Kingdom has become in some new horribly oppressive, perhaps the extreme persecution of the commoners, such as that that occured to the peasantry of Eastern Europe and Russia in the 17th and 18th century. Michael must make a difficult choice, to let his people suffer as he continues to idle his life away in peace, or return to the Throne, depose his murderous usurper, and assume the mantle that he was born to wear.
The PCs just happen to have some reason to help him, such as their families are being persecuted, recruited by the charisma of the crown prince, or whatnot. Sounds like a good campaign to me.
I would rank this one higher, but there are a good number of spelling errors and comma mistakes. Michael still has alot of potential, but he reminds me of vanilla ice cream. I like vanilla ice cream...mmm...ice cream.
Vanilla ice cream is well...dull. It doesnt have any flash or dazzle, no chips, chunks, ripples, marshmallows, or new and interesting flavors. On the other hand there really isnt bad ice cream, and like I said, I like vanilla, you can add to it yourself.
The resemblance to Hamlet increases, I approve. Adding the melancholy streak to a normally optimistic, and upbeat noble is a nice touch. He is well set, there is but for fate to interven her hand and upset his life completely.
The expression, iSome men are born to greatness, others have it thrust upon them,/i comes to mind. The Peasant Prince may find himself in need of assistance when his cousin decides that the prince needs to turn up dead, or a league of lords decides to make the prince their titular figurehead, opposing the counsin, but at the same time, staying on their leash.
Either way, the DM inside of me says it is time for the Prince's sabbatical to come to an end. I like the flavor.
It can be a hard life for a fledgling servant of evil, with all of those goody-goody heros running about, all hot a bothered to find a villian to smash up.
I think this would also be a cool potion to use as an assassination poison. The milk chocolate flavor is a really nice touch.
This is a really impressive idea. I would think,and this is just my extrapolation of the idea, is that the trees would only grow in areas of a certain magical nature, such as the confluence on ley lines, or other sites of power. Even better in a low magic setting as the trees would be both rare, and hard to find.
Along with the ring itself, this is a great plot. It has all of the attributes I look for (interesting hook, personal detail, well written, and plot hooks) as well as not being monsterous in size.
