We’ve had the Fighter & Wizard, now it’s the turn of the Cleric to take centre stage. As before we’re looking at how to create a simpler starting character using only the PHB and the design decisions evident in the D&D Essentials line. The end result should be a set of Archetypal characters which would

A short while back I posted an image titled Stand Your Ground, and promised a tutorial showing how it was made. This is it. Note: This tutorial contains nudity. Underneath your clothes, so do you. Live with it, or look away now. Starting (as you do) at the end, here’s what the finished result looked

Last time we looked at how to create something like the Essential Knight using only content from the Player’s Handbook. This time it’s the turn of the Mage, a specialist Wizard formally educated in the ways of spell casting. Can we do the same thing, and create a leaner, simpler magic-user using only the PHB?

“Jest look at her. Prancing through this stinkin’ dungeon like it’s some fairy tale palace, all singin’ and dancing’ fit to burst. It’s no surprising the monsters hear us comin’ a mile away. What I want to know is how come she never gets hit. I mean, look at what she’s wearin’! A ball gown!

The good folks at Wizards of the Coast have been teasing us in recent weeks with information about the new character builds provided in the D&D Essentials line. So far we have seen builds for the Cleric, Wizard and Fighter with each one giving us more of an insight into the design decisions they made

I’m re-reading the veritable Call of Cthulhu Keeper’s Companion Volume 1. This is an excellent tome and a terrific read regardless of your system of choice. The first chapter is Good Cthulhu Hunting by Sandy Peterson & John B Monroe and it summarizes 10 best practises for wise Call of Cthulhu investigators. The advice it

Love it! What a great use for Gallus gallus 513! (other than for feast-sized chicken breasts).
Here’a a niggling fact. Add the “mount” keyword to the creature (at least I think you can do that in Adventure Tools).

What? They didn’t tame ostriches? They had to breed giant chickens? Do they breathe fire?

@Jay Thanks!
@deadorcs Good catch :D Corrected, with “mount” keyword added. Thanks for that.
@Elton Giant chickens make much more sense to tiny goblin brains. Besides, everyone knows that ostriches are riden by orcs. And no, chickens don’t breath fire. Unless they’re dragon/chicken hybrids, of course.

“How do you get out of this chicken outfit anyway,” asked Snorter the Goblin. “I don’t want to be part of the pecking order.”

Awesome idea. Back in my WarhammerFB 2e days, I mounted goblins on axebeak equivalents (no army lists but the bestiary did have cassowaries among the possible mounts)
Now I have to check the toys aisle for chickens…

A party pecked to death by chicken? You are being far too cruel. :)

Mentioning the vicious Chicken of Bristol is going to date me horribly isn’t it? Oh dear. :)
And giving them Frenzied Trample is inspired.

I played in an Earthdawn campaign once where my character was convinced one of the creatures we were tracking was a giant fire-breathing chicken, based entirely on something that my GM misspoke. It turned out to be a half-man, half-snake Horror that murdered several members of our party :(
Giant chickens are the Tuna-of-the-Land. B’GOCK!
