Foreword by Daniel M. Perez I first met Mark a few years ago when we both contributed to a charity project. A few days later I got an email from Mark letting me know, quite politely, that the stats of my contribution were not entirely sound. The notable part is that he also included all the fixes I needed to do as part of that same email. Understand this is at the height of the d20/OGL boom; people savvy in d20 mechanics were earning fees left and right by freelancing for a variety of publishing companies, many of them e‐publishers like me, and here comes Mark with what could've easily been sold and he gave it for free (he didn't even ask for a comp copy of the original product from which the material donated to the charity project had been extracted from). I sent him one nonetheless, plus a copy of what I had published to that point, and then I got another email asking me if I would like him to go over the stats on those as well. Yeah, sure! Fast forward to the present. Mark is, in my mind, the unspoken partner in Highmoon Games. Over the years Mark has continued to lend a hand with all my products, offering advice and stat‐wizardry at the same rate as that first time. Over exchanges of "this +2 should be +3" and "that feat is totally broken but awesome" and "these skills points are all wrong!" Mark and I have become friends, as good as two people—one living in Saskatchewan, Canada and the other in Miami Beach, Florida can—and have collaborated on a number of projects, even launching a whole line which Mark entirely dreamed up and brought me on board as an enthusiastic passenger (the Heroic Moments line for 4C System). Mark's generosity has been shared with a number of publishers, as well as with fellow fans of d20/OGL products. Through his own Purple Duck Productions brand, Mark has been creating content compatible with the world's most famous fantasy game (3rd and 3.5 editions) for years, always giving it out for free
through his blog or forum posts here and there. When D&D 4th Edition was announced, heralding the end of the official 3.X era, Mark concocted a project to preserve and promote as much of the fantastic Open Gaming Content that had been produced using the SRD and MSRD and released through the Open Gaming License. Through gumption and the support of publishers kindly donating their OGC to the cause, Mark put together the Grand OGL Wiki, a project that has, simply put, become the single, most important OGL product produced, and one which continues to grow by the day. Because Mark was not only content to collect existing OGC in the Grand OGL Wiki, he also decided to start adding new material! The DM Sketchpad, as Phil Reed chronicled in the introduction to last month's compilation, is a worthy successor to a fantastic idea, one which more and more people need to take advantage of. Calling on his seemingly endless well of (generally wicked, bizarre and simply fantastic) creativity, Mark has put together new and free OGC that could have easily fetched a good few bucks, even in the current hammock market between the end of "official" 3.5 and the upcoming release of "new" 3.5 (aka Pathfinder), all because of his genuine love of the game and of the ideals of the Open Gaming License. What's more, he continues to infect people with his enthusiasm, and they in turn produce content for the DM's Sketchpad or donate existing OGC for inclusion in the wiki. It's the best kind of epidemic! This month's DM's Sketchpad compilation holds more free OGC to be used in your game, from elvin sigils to otyugh gods, from paper tigers to a collection of half‐orc‐themed material for your "misunderstood" friends (or foes). I hope you enjoy this month's DM's Sketchpad, and that you'll check the daily offerings over at the Grand OGL Wiki, as well as sharing it with your friends and fellow gamers. I, for one, know I'm gonna make fiendish use of a couple of bits in here next time I sit down behind the DM's screen.

Hook: A Dragon Stalks the Cherizil Mountains!
A man staggers into the local tavern. His armor damaged, his clothes and skin scarred by the lick of flame. “Help! You must help,” he begins, “A huge dragon of red attacked and destroyed my village. It captured many of the women‐folk and flew off to the Cherizil Mountains! My company was caught off guard and slaughtered.” He pauses to catch his breath, “My name is Sir Talis of the Silver Rams, and I’m looking for a few brave men to help me kill a dragon.” Twist: Sir Talis of the Silver Ram was captured by the dragon over a decade ago. The dragon was able to break his will and change him into a dragonbonded servant and the dragon is an adult red dragon. The adult red dragon is planning on settling in the area and wants to remove any possible threat so he has been sending Talis to neighbouring villages to recruit heroes to slay the dragon. Ultimately they find themselves unprepared for the crafty red and are consumed. There is just this one village left.

Karlorivas When dead stalks the night, their dawn will be slow to come. Eternal Night God of assassins, death and nighttime Alignment LE Domains Darkness, Death, Evil Favored Weapon Garotte Centres of Worship Scattered through the wilderness and in pockets within large cities. Nationality Monster Tales of Karlorivas date back to the time of the great betrayal. For time without measure orcs and elves lived in harmony. Together their nations lived in peace and harmony, each working to build a better world for all surface dwellers. This unification is even substantiated by existence of a few savreree, though both races now see this offshoot as an abomination. Over time the elves grew more and more jealous of orc because of their strength and virility and it became clear to the elven leaders
consume more than 1 draught within an hour, the save is dropped to +1 to Will and Fortitude saves, and they must make an immediate DC 15 Fortitude check to avoid regurgitation. (+5 to the DC check for every additional draught after the second). For all other races, consuming any of the Firegutt will likely result in instant regurgitation (DC 20 Fort Save). If the character does manage to keep it down, they are at ‐2 to all Will and Fortitude saves for (2d4‐Con bonus) hours. Additional draughts for these characters mean making a DC 25 Fortitude check not to regurgitate, and a a DC 15 not to pass out for 1d4 hours (both DCs increase by +5 for every additional draught after the second). The brewing of Firegutt would be a closely‐held secret, except that no other race has any interest in learning how to make it. Inns that serve half‐orc and orc‐kin clientele may pay a few silvers (1d6) for a barrel of the stuff, but that's about it.
that if something wasn’t done with the orcish problem they would quickly be overwhelm but they lusty and brutish neighbours. With the help of Seraius, the elven god of lies and evil, the orcs where cursed with light sensitivity and driven from the glorious civilization they helped build to live in the wilderness as savages. Karlorivas was the first warchief at the time. Suspecting the elves of their secrets plots he watched the leaders. He realized their plans moments too late to stop them but was able to kill several key leaders and take their ears as a trophy. Cleric/assassins of Karlorivas often wear a magical necklace of ears to help them deal with the eleven betrayers.
Necklace of Ears
Special Equipment
Firegutt (aka Murkk'chattg) This rare orcish liquor of a dark green cast is believed to be distilled from the scrapings of unknown cave mosses. It has a bitter, fiery flavor (accompanied by a smell not unlike that of a burning dog in a sewer) that nearly all find unpalatable, if not downright nauseating. This incredibly vile and potent liquor has effects even on the stoutest orc character. Orcs, trolls, orc‐kind (to include half‐orcs) gain a +2 to all Will and Fortitude saving throws for (2d4 ‐ their Constitution bonus) hours if they consume a standard draught of Firegutt. If they

Character Traits In this product the concept of character traits was introduced. Basically they provide a bit of background and a bit of a bonus for starting characters to help you flesh out you newfound character. There are many on the Grand OGL
Wiki site but here are a few more for the half‐ orc. Adopted (Half‐Orc) You were found as a baby by non‐orcs who instead of killing you outright, adopted you and raised you as one of their own children. You learned early in life than not all conflicts must be solved by violence. You gain a +1 trait bonus to Diplomacy and it is always a class skill for you. Mercenary (Half‐Orc) You have spent many of your early adventuring years within an organized company of soldiers. This has taught to you always be alert and aware of your surroundings as well as quick to respond. You gain a +1 trait bonus to initiative and +5 ft. movement on the first round of combat. Loving Home (Half‐Orc) You were raised within a loving mixed marriage. Your parents have supported and guided you through your young life. At character creation you gain an additional 100 gp, this is one‐time money your parents have saved for your future. Nomadic (Half‐Orc) You childhood was spent in a horse caravan that travelled the badlands. Whether merchant or raider you learned to live in your saddle and live off of the land. You gain a +1 trait bonus to Ride and Survival. One of these skills is always a class skill for you.
Psionic Traits These traits are associated with psionics and focus on the manipulation of energy and matter using the power of one’s mind. You need not be a manifester to take a Psionic trait (although several of these traits aren’t as useful to non‐ psionics). Psionic Traits can represent a character’s early exposure to psionic experimentation or study of psionics at a learning centre.
1 Learning Centre Applicant You have spent most of your childhood at of the psionics learning centres such as the School of the Vast. You gain a +1 trait bonus on Psicraft checks, and Psicraft is always a class skill for you. 2 Reckless Manifester You have always be intrigued by the workings of psionics items, possibly because you were the child of a shaper or wilder. You snuck into your parent’s meditative sanctum or form room to tinker with their psionics devices, cause untold damage and setbacks to your parent’s work. You gain a +1 trait bonus on Use Psionic Device checks, and Use Psionic Device is always a class skill for you. 3 Pattern Analysist Your childhood was dominated by the studied of natural forms and mathematical formula or unrelenting chaos and emotional upheaval so that it became essential to block out distractions. You gain a +1 trait bonus on Concentration checks, and Concentration is always a class skill for you. 4 Gifted Psychic Your interest in psionics was inspired by witnessing the greatest of psions and godminds in demonstration of their might. You may have even been exposed to resonant waves of psionics power that altered the way your first power operates. Pick one psionics power when you choose this trait – from this point on, whenever you manifest that power, its manifester level is increased by 1. 5 Skilled Psicrafter You were tapped into a worldthought network of artificiers, unbeknownst to them for a time, through which you learned many shortcuts and cost‐saving techniques. Whenever you craft a psionics item, you reduce the cost of gp and XP required to make the item by 5%. 6 Psionic Gift You were raised, either wholly or in part, by a psionics creature (like an Ardoroch or a Dromite), either after it found you abandoned underground or because your parents left you in the care of this psionic creature. This constant exposure to psionics
energy has made its manifestation easy for you to understand, even when you turn you mind to other training and skills. Pick a class when you gain this trait – your manifester level in that class gains a +2 trait bonus as long as this bonus doesn’t increase your manifester level higher than your current Hit Dice. 7 Psionic Lineage One of your parents was a gifted metamind or uncarnate who not only used metapsionic effects often, but also may have unlocked new manifestation or two – and you have inherited a fragment of this greatness. Pick one psionic power when you choose this trait. When you apply metapsionic feats to this power, you decrease the cost of the manifestation by 2 power points. 8 Naturally Psionic You have always been special, always able to do more than what was expected of you. You gain 1 bonus power point at 1st level. This benefit does not grant you the ability to manifest powers unless you gain that ability through another source, such as levels in a psionic class. 9 Stubborn You have never believed in psionics powers. They are a tale to encourage children or the misguided ravings of a lunatic. You gain a +2 trait bonus on all saving throws against clairsentience. 10 Iron Man You path in life has always been one of striving for personal perfection. You have spent many hours learning to resist fear and tolerating poison. You gain a +1 trait bonus on Autohypnosis checks, and Autohypnosis is always a class skill for you.
Poison Entangle Transmutation Level: Drd 4 This spell functions like entangle, except that the entangling plants carry a virulent poison that deals 1d6 points of Constitution damage and an additional 1d6 points of constitution 1 minute later. Each instance of poisoning can be negated by a succesful Fortitude check (DC 10 + 1/2 caster level + Wis modifier). You can only be poisoned one when in the entangle area.
Don’t Go Into the Woods
Entangling Spells Entangle is one of my favourite low level druid spells. It is very handy for controlling the battlefield especially against a large number of opponents but it lacks a certain bite. Thus, for higher levels I've created these additional spells in the entangle vein. Snapping Entangle Transmutation Level: Drd 3, Rgr 3 This spell functions like entangle, except that the entangling plants are carnivorous plants that deal 1d4 points of damage each round to creatures within the spell's area.
Yellow Musk Entangle Transmutation Level: Drd 6 This spell functions like entangle, except that the entangling plants are yellow musk creepers. Each round a creature is within the affected area they are drained of 1d4 points of Intelligence. Any creature reduced to 0 Intelligence by this spell becomes a yellow musk zombieTOH under the druid's control. The victim remains a yellow musk zombie after the spell ends.
THE MANEATER Chosun was the mascot of a particularly sadistic mercenary troupe. For entertainment they would starve the bear and then feed him their live captives. When the sell‐swords were hired to eliminate a local Druid, he awakened Chosun as an ally. The mercenaries and Druid destroyed each other in the fight, leaving Chosun the only survivor. Despite his sudden intelligence he retained his taste for humanoid flesh. Chosun now stalks isolated villages, preying on the lone traveler or solitary child. Local hunters who believe him simply to be a cunning rogue bear, have set traps without success. The few that dare follow his tracks never return.

The barbarian may make one extra attack in a round at his highest base attack bonus, but this attack takes a ‐2 penalty, as does each other attack made that round. This also affects attacks of opportunity the barbarian might make before his next action. When he rages, Chosun’s stats change as follows: ‐‐‐‐‐ AC 19, touch 14, flat‐footed 19 Ref +11 Melee 2 claws +17 (1d6+8) and bite +12 (1d6+4) or 3 claws +15 (1d6+8) and bite +10 (1d6+4) Grp +17 Abilities Str 26 Skills Swim +12
THE UNEXPECTED ENEMY While most centaurs grow up tolerating and even enjoying the company of humans and elves, Evak was always different. Where others of his race saw cooperation, Evak saw men cutting down trees for farmland, and elves exploiting centaurs for their physical strength. When he spoke out other centaurs laughed at him. He realized they were blind to the threat men and elves posed, and that his war on all who might harm the centaur race would have to be his alone. Recently, however, he has started working with an intelligent brown bear (see my earlier post on May 7). Together they slay any humanoid they come across. Evak knows that most humans consider centaur either harmless or outright friendly. He uses that belief to maneuver into prime killing range.

‐‐‐‐‐ Ranger Spells Prepared (CL 3): 1st – entangle, magic fang ‐‐‐‐‐ Before Combat Evak drinks his potion of cat’s grace and barkskin and then cast magic fang on Chosun, his bear ally. During Combat Evak lets Chosun take the brunt of damage in melee while he covers the bear with arrow fire. If his target is human don’t forget to add a +1 to hit and a +6 to damage on his already formidable attack stats. Against elves, he receives only a +2 on damage.

In other words against humans, Evak gains a +1 to hit and a +6 to damage on his already formidable bonuses listed above, as well a +6 bonus to several skills. Smite Enemy (Ex) Twice per day, Evak can smite humans with one normal melee attack. He adds his slayer class level as a bonus to his attack roll, and deals 2 extra points of damage per slayer class level, in addition to any other bonuses that

Wilderness Traps Rangers, druids and elves have learned many techniques for dealing with troublesome animals and magical beast. One of the simplest ways is with a mechanical or magical trap.

Elven Sigils Elven sigils are incredibly intricate and their beauty is known the world over. The arching and twisting pattern often contains a maker’s mark for the elven craftsman that created the item. Some elven craftsmen have found ways integrate arcane power within the twisting pattern. Generally, only elven artificers spend time the time learning how to integrate this power. Occasionally a sorcerer may learn this trade finding traditional magic item crafting to be too restrictive. Elven sigils are not magical in of themselves; rather they are conduits to some otherworldly power. An active sigil is a supernatural effect. An elven sigil may only be added to a masterwork item, and counts as an additional masterwork components (market value +300 gp (for weapons), +150 (for armor), +50 (for items), DC = 20) for the purpose of creation times and cost. At the time that sigil is embosses or carved, the craftsman can decide if the sigil is visible or hidden. True seeing or powerful divination magic will allow the sigil to be seen as well as a trained elven artificer can spot and
sigil he is trained to create with a Spot check DC 15. Each rune may be activated once per day as a swift action and lasts for 1 round per point of Charisma bonus (minimum 1 round). By taking 2 points of Charisma damage, an elf may force an elven sigil to activate a second time in a single day, though few choose to do so. If your game uses Action Points, then one could be spent to reactivate the sigil as well. A character without the appropriate sigil feat cannot identify, activate or craft the sigil. Each of the following feats allows an elf to identify, activate and craft a given single sigil ‐ ‐ although crafting sigils requires the requisite Craft skill to create a masterwork item upon which the sigil is placed. Sigil of Silence [General, Elven] The item is traced with a swirling pattern that seems to consume itself. Elves tend to activate this sigil when they want to pass by guards without being heard. Prerequisites: inscribe on any item. Benefit: While this rune is in effect, you receive a +5 competence bonus on Move Silently checks. Sigil of Shadows [General, Elven] The item is traced within interlocking lines that create areas of shade on the intricate design. Elves tend to activate this sigil when they want to pass by guards without being seen. Prerequisites: inscribe on any item. Benefit: While this rune is in effect, you receive a +5 competence bonus on Hide checks. Sigil of the Cresting Dawn [General, Elven] The item is traced with a pattern that integrates the name of their primary deity with an image of the sun. Elves sometimes use this sigil to disable foes or put them off guard. Prerequisites: inscribe on any item
Benefit: Once per round while this rune is active, you can cause the sigil to emit a brilliant flash of light. Anyone within 20 ft., except the activator, must make a Reflex save (DC 10 + ½ character level + Cha modifier) or be blinded for 1d4 rounds. Sigil of Precision [General, Elven] The bow or longbow traced with this sigil has lines that dart, weave and squeeze through tight patterns. Elves sometime use this sigil to enhance their prowess in archery. Prerequisites: inscribe on any short bow or longbow Benefit: While this rune is active, you gain access to the feat Precise Shot even if you wouldn’t normally qualify for it and a +2 competence bonus to attacks made with your short or longbow. Sigil of Peace [General, Elven] This item is covered with sigils that play upon its surface in a gentle, rolling fashion. Elves sometimes use this sigil to open negotiations with foreign nations. Prerequisite: inscribe on any non‐weapon Benefit: When this sigil is activated, a non‐ player character the wielder is interacting with has his attitude moved to one more positive position. Sigil of Empowerment [General, Elven] The wand on which this sigil is carved is able to tap a magical other‐realm to extend its life. Elven wizards sometime add these glyphs to their wands to strengthen there connection. Prerequisite: inscribe on any wand Benefit: While this sigil is active, the wand uses the wielder’s caster level instead of the wand creator’s caster level.
Evolved Kobolds Thousands of kobolds have met their fate at the end of a “hero’s” longsword. Kobolds are very adaptable being know to acclimatize to aquatic, arctic, desert, jungle or elemental earth. Heck, it is even said that some have grown wings or breath fire like their draconic gods. The strangest of all kobold variants is the man‐sized evolved kobolds. They are tall, reptilian creatures with powerful, relational minds but frail forms. The exact cause of these kobold’s evolution is not precisely known, some suggest it is the work of magic, some say it is a transformative event like that experience by the Elan, while others suggest it was the result of some obscure ritual. Regardless of the cause, since the transformation the evolved kobolds have bred true and their numbers are growing.
Personality: Evolved kobolds are stoic creatures who control the stronger emotions that so defined their less‐evolved state. They particularly work to curb their aggressive and xenophobic tendencies. Evolved kobolds view all things are interrelated parts of a cosmic puzzle that is everchanging. They tend to favor larger communities where they can observe other races more easily. Physical Description: Most evolved kobolds are tall and thin, with a long and narrow head like that of a reptile. Small rusty‐brown scales cover evolved kobold’s flesh. Their fingers grow long, and their limbs tend toward the spindly. They have snakelike tails that serve only as aids to balance Relations: Most evolved kobolds live in cities. They enjoy the company of other species even if they rarely show that they enjoy the company of others.

Ragger and His Ride This little kobold wends his way along the highways and byways of the underdark on the back of a trained scavenger worm he raised from birth. He trades his trap‐making and mining skills for gold and food, and could be a good source of knowledge about the underdark as much as a foe. When he gets into a fight, he stays on top of his scavenger worm, summons monsters, and traps opponents between them and his pet.

Zovan Tengri Zovan is the next fighting mage in our ongoing series, another conjurer as per the request of a reader. This guy uses his summoned monsters to gain flanking against opponents, and employs spring attack to jump in and out of melee, sneak attacking flanked enemies.

His most favorite summoned ally is a fiendish ape named Oollam Onga. They have worked together many times, and know each other’s tricks and strengths. If possible Oollam grapples an opponent so Zovan can slice into the unfortunate person at will. (Coup de grace’s against immobile foes tends to make fights short.)

Winter of Sorrowful Visions In the time before the First Emperor, when the land was ravaged by dueling warlords, the greatest warrior of the land made a promise to the woman loved that he would no longer participate in the bloody struggle destroying the country.
Takashi‐no‐Akimoto was the premier poleman of his time. No one could stand before the speed and might of his weapon. Yet for all the death he brought upon enemies, the wars continued. It was only when he meet Yuki‐no‐ Hana did he understand the violence would end only when one man decided it was time to lay aside his weapons. Takashi's lord was furious. He would not allow his ablest warrior to give up and lay the kingdom open to their enemies. He imprisoned Yuki in a remote mountain cave, where she was to remain until Takashi changed his mind. Yuki's imprisonment convinced Takashi‐no‐ Akimoto to give up his vow of peace. Except his polearm was now turned against his former master. He swept through the castle like a wind of rage, butchering and slaughtering with abandon. At the last moment, to save his own life, Takashi's lord revealed Yuki's location. However, Takashi was so angry he slew his lord despite the man's cooperation. When Takashi reached Yuki, the look on his face, his blood‐spattered clothes, his seething breath, told her everything. She dashed out into the snow, mortally saddened for the circle of violence and her lover could never escape. Even with Takashi's lord dead, others would come for him because of his acts, and the cycle would ever continue. Yuki plunged into a high mountain lake, releasing her body and soul into the numbing cold. Takashi‐no‐Akimoto followed. His tear‐ crippled spirit departed his body and transfered his last concious thoughts of failure and loss into his polearm. Winter of Sorrowful Visions is a +3 icy burst bisento (martial weapon, 2‐handed, 1d12, 19‐ 20/x2). Anyone struck with winter that is of lower HD than the wielder must make a Will save (DC 16) of be dazed for 1 round as their mind is flooded with visions of sorrow, failure and loss.

It is created by ruthless greed, usually when both a group of dragonslayers and a dragon dies upon the dragon’s hoard; the hoard golem is motivated only to incorporate more and more treasure. It only attacks those who try to stop it from absorbing treasure or those who attack it first. Anytime the golem is struck by an attack small amounts of coinage and other bits of treasure are knocked from its body, Oddly the golem bleeds a little when actually damaged (dragon blood), although this in no way hampers the golem.

When performing a sunder attempt the golem uses this ability and does not deal damage to the object, unless it is not of at least masterwork quality. The DC is Strength‐Based. Immunity to Magic (Ex) A hoard golem is immune to any spell or spell‐like ability that allows spell resistance. In addition, certain spells and effects function differently against the creature, as noted below. Any spell that can specifically affects objects (align weapon, animate objects, animate rope, arcane lock, bless weapon, changestaff, chill metal, disintegrate, disrupting weapon, earthquake, greater magic weapon, holy sword, magic stone, magic vestment, magic weapon, mending, obscure object, polymorph any object, repel metal or stone, rope trick, rusting grasp, secret chest, secret page, sequester, shatter, shillelagh, shrink item, snare, spell staff, teleport object, transmute metal to wood, warp wood, and similar spells) can effect hoard golem, these spells deal 2d6 per level of the spell cast plus one point per caster level. The golem gets no saving throw against this effect. Spells can be use to create treasure, (such as minor creation and major creation)so that the golem can use it’s absorb cache ability. Sense Treasure (Su) The hard golem constantly senses any valuables and magic items within a 10‐mile radius. It is drawn to subjective value, though, and not the object’s actual market price. Thus, a beggar’s humble copper is worth every bit as much to the golem as the rich man’s art collection, or the king’s jewels.
Skills The Hoard golem has a +20 racial onus on Disguise checks when posing as a normal pile of treasure (although anyone familiar with the golem will of course consider all large, glittering piles of wealth to be suspect). When lying still among other treasures, the golem has a +20 racial bonus on Hide checks. These bonuses are pre‐calculated into the stat block above. LORE (Bardic Knowledge or Knowledge (arcana)) Common (DC 15) This spontaneous construct is a hoard golem , a nigh unstoppable force of avarice, its only goal to seek out and feed that covetousness. Uncommon (DC 20) Hoard golems are sometimes called Accursed Caches, or Bloody Money; Rare (DC 30) A hoard golem can consume any item of value, making it part of itself and healing itself in the process, it can sense the movement of treasure at long and very short distances. It is resistant to most weapons and is immune to most forms of magic. Obscure (DC 35) Spells and effects that specifically affect objects are one of the forms of magic a hoard golem is not immune to, as it suffers damage from the most innocuous of them. Weapons forged of adamantine easily injure the beast though they can be absorbed if it is too valuable, the cheapest adamantine weapon is the most effective. Epic (DC 40) Dragons and hoard golems sometimes can develop a strange and symbiotic relationship as the dragon gains a willing guardian of its hoard and the hoard golem is continuously given new treasure to acquire by the dragon, those who would steal from the dragon and even by dragonslayers. It is know that some dragon higher dragonslayers to target rival dragons in the hopes of creating a hoard golem.

A paralyzed creature is susceptible to the medouille’s kiss (see below). A creature that successfully saves cannot be affected again by the same vargouille’s shriek for 24 hours. The shriek is a mind‐affecting fear effect. Unhealing Wound (Ex) Injury, Fortitude DC 16 or be unable to heal the Medouille’s bite damage naturally or magically.

Jacinth Vorush remembers nothing of his former life. He is strongly drawn to Mitala, the headmistress of the School of the Vast but does not know why. She was present at his transformation into an elan and instead of being a joyous awakening, he was filled with a deep, agonizing feeling of loss. He fled the school’s hidden chamber and made a life for himself in the forests and mountains near Crystal Lake. Every night he was haunted by glimpses of former happiness and lost friends and over time he grew more and more bitter to Mitala and her school. One day in a fit of rage Jacinth killed one of Mitala’s apprentices; that night he slept peacefully. Still after a day or so the nightmares returned, Jacinth could only find personal peace from the death of psionics creatures. Since that discovery, he trained to be a professional killer and returned to Crystal Lake to kill all the psionicist. He has attempted to attack Mitala personally, but his resolve failed and he fled. PRC Variant: Psionic Assassins
Beginning at 1st level, a psionics assassin gains the ability to manifest a number of psionics powers. To manifest a power, a psionics assassin must have an intelligence score of at least 10 + the power’s level. The psionics assassin gains bonus power points based on his intelligence score. Although a psionics assassin begins with zero power points, their race, feat selection or Intelligence score may allow him to manifest powers at 1st level. *In place of spell progression, a psionics assassin gains psionics powers and power points instead with Intelligence as their key manifesting ability.

Otyghnomicon II
Gulguthriana (Demigoddess of Otyughs) Gulguthriana is the demigoddess of compost, rot and decomposition. Some say that she was the first of all otyughs. Once she had escaped her magical creator she stumbled upon a piece of godflesh in the ruins of Valorusia. From this flesh, she gained a divine spark with which she created more otyughs in her own image. Her natural form is that of an immense otyugh with hundreds of arms and multiple eyestalks. Her teeth are said to be able to sever a man in twain with a single bite. She is associated with otyughs and other creatures that live in the sewage of civilization. Her symbol is an apple core. Gulguthriana’s primary doctrine is that decomposition and rot are essential for the world to function. Devotees of gulguthriana live in the sewers, garbage dumps and trash heaps of the civilized world. The rarely make their presence known because most see them as a nuisance or vermin. Alignment Neutral; Domains Destruction, Earth, Plant
Clerics of Gulguthriana are immune to filth fever and other natural diseases associated with refuse. Although immune they may act as a carrier for the disease. Monstrous Flanker [General] You are able to flank an opponent all by yourself because of your formidable natural attacks and extended reach. Prerequisite: Two different natural attacks ‐ one natural attack that has a reach +5 ft. larger than the creature’s space. Benefit: When you attack an opponent with two or more natural attacks, they are considered flanked to your attacks. Normal: You can only flank an opponent when you and any ally both threaten an opponent on opposite sides or corners.
Paragon Races Every so often such an individual passes even the paragon and becomes a hero among her people, a subject worthy of song and legend. These individuals exemplify not only their race’s abilities, but become embodiments of their race’s potential. They are called Legendary Paragons. To become a Legendary Paragon a character must achieve 3rd level in their respective racial paragon class. Legendary paragon levels can then be taken anytime a character gains a new level. A character may multiclass freely between standard character classes for which she qualifies, and the character’s appropriate racial legendary paragon class. Levels in legendary paragon classes never result in XP penalties for multiclass characters. Despite this strong association with race, legendary paragons need not have specific views or special dedication to their race’s beliefs or typical attitudes (although many do).
Drow Legendary Paragon The darkness resounds with tales of singular Drow whose essential nature was more akin to a force of nature rather than an individual. Many of these Drow rise to heights of power and strength in the dark, columned cities, embodying their race’s reputation for cruelty and evil. A few become loners, adventuring until they find like‐minded allies or discover the world above. Drow legendary paragons retain the hit die, class skills, skill points and weapon and armor proficiencies of the paragon class.

Playtest: Harmonic Aspects Throughout the history and legends of the world there have been heroes who stand out from the rest, who are capable of incredible feats of skill, magic and prowess. Scholars have studied these individuals and found that neither their training nor their gear could account for some of their abilities. After much debate and inquiry it was discovered that these heroes were able to unlock additional abilities from their magical items when they were used together. Sages refer to this phenomenon as unlocking the harmonic aspect of the items. Why this unlocking occurs is still very much up for debate. Some suggest this affect is a boon granted by the gods (and even give them credit in the naming), while others suggest that the unlocking is the result of magical resonance among items of power that have a common theme or archetype. Regardless of the cause, harmonic aspects all have several things in common.
1. The character must possess three magic items that are strongly related by theme. 2. The character must be attuned to the magic items. This typically takes one day per combine caster level of the three items. 3. One to three additional abilities will be unlocked once attunement occurs. These abilities always enhance or extend the theme or archetype of the item. 4. Characters may only benefit from one aspect at a time.
Aspect of the Spider Goddess Required Equipment +1 rapier of speed, cloak of arachnidia, staff of swarming insects Cost 71, 070 gp Attunement Time 22 days Abilities Gained: Black Rainbow (Sp) At‐will, character gains the ability to see full colour when using dark vision (CL 1st) Prevenom Weapon (Ps) 3/day, a mild venom coats their weapon. On their next successful melee attack it does 2 point of Con damage (Fort DC 10, negates) (ML 1st). Spider Gorge (Sp) 1/day, by distending their jaw they are able to emit a stream of tiny spiders 25 ft. long and 5 ft. wide that deal 5d4 points of damage (Reflex DC 14, half) and a 1d4 Con damage (Fort DC 14, negates) (CL 5th).
Aspect of the Messenger Required Equipment lyre of charming, ring of freedom of movement, winged boots Cost 63,500 gp Attunement Time 12th level Abilities Gained: Skilled Negotiator (Ex) Character gains a +5 competence bonus to Diplomacy and Sense Motive. Message (Sp) At‐will, the character can whisper messages and receive whispered replies with little chance of being overheard. You point your finger at each creature you want to receive the message. When you whisper, the whispered
message is audible to all targeted creatures within range. Magical silence, 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of common metal (or a thin sheet of lead), or 3 feet of wood or dirt blocks the spell. The message does not have to travel in a straight line. It can circumvent a barrier if there is an open path between you and the subject, and the path’s entire length lies within the spell’s range. The creatures that receive the message can whisper a reply that you hear. The spell transmits sound, not meaning. It doesn’t transcend language barriers.
Aspect of the Thunder God Required Equipment +2 distance returning giantbane warhammer, belt of giant strength +4, gloves of titan’s grip Cost 80,312 Attunement Time 26 days Abilities Gained: Call Lightning (Sp) 1/day, for five minutes you are able to call down a single bolt of lightning each round as a standard action (3d6 electricity, 3d10 in stormy conditions). Hardy (Ex) +1 sacred bonus to Fortitude saves
Playtest Notes 1) Why the attunement time? (Gareth Hanrahan) I view the attunement time as a cost to the player for the benefit they gain for assuming the harmonic aspect. There are many ways to balance these. You could do the “feat” route and add an Attain Harmonic Aspect feat but I hate throwaway feats. You could go with an unlocking ritual which would be fine as well. Ultimately, I think attunement time fits with the idea that heroes learn and grow over time, and it encourages some downtime between adventures. In one of my PBEM games, I’ve been using attunement time to as a gauge for how long it takes characters to figure out their found magic items if they didn’t have access to the proper spells or were unwilling to activate blindly.
2) Why are the saves so crappy on the added effects? (by Stefen) Ultimately this is because all magic item saves typical suck and fall behind the relative power level of the characters. However working on the idea that magic items could become attuned to a character it might be interesting and more useful to link save DC to the character as (DC 10 + ½ character level + Cha modifier). 3) How are the bonus abilities balanced? (by No one yet) Using skill synergy as an example, you gain a +2 or 10% bonus for attaining a synergy. When figuring out the bonus effects, I worked from spend 10% of the original magic item cost. Does it matter? Maybe, sort of depends on your game. It felt like a good yardstick to start at for me. This section more than any other is an experiment. I’d love to hear what you think. Hit me on twitter or drop an email or bounce over to the forums.
Wellsprings Note: I seemed to have caused a lot of confused when I posted a wellspring on the DM Sketchpad so let me provide some more background here in the PDF version. Wellsprings originate in the open game content rules on Immortals created by Mongoose Publishing. I hope to bring these rules to the Grand OGL Wiki in August if you do not have access to them. Wellspring: The physical location an Immortal must enter in order to establish a tap. If the wellspring is blocked then the character losses access to all of his Gifts derived from it until he removes the block. This site is very limited but could be of use to an aspiring immortal.
Plateau of Everchanging Fire (Wellspring) Maximum Victories:3, Limited Primal Power: Fire Effects: Scorched Earth (2 miles), Knights of Flame (30 CR, Max CR 10) In the heart of the verdant forest their lies a plateau of rock and elemental fire upon which nothing grows. Even the bravest of animals fear to tread land that seems to have scorned all live. Some say the plateau is a beachhead of the Elemental Plane of Fire in the planes attempt to consume all matter. At the center of the plateau is a conduit to the Elemental Plane of Fire. It is constantly guarded by numerous fire elementals, salamanders and other extraplanar creatures with the fire subtype. The Daughter of Destiny, Larazor the nine‐headed pyrohydra also occupies these lands. She is able to cohabitat with the Knights of Flame because she have indicated no interest in tapping the wellspring to fuel her own ambitions.
Alternatively: If Larazor does tap the wellspring she would command the following additional abilities: Mantle of Fire (Su) She is able to ignite her aura with light and fire in a 120 ft. radius for one minute. No one may use Hide within this radius and she gains a +2 deflection bonus to her AC.
Unfettered Flame (Ex) Anytime she uses her mantle of fire or her breath weapon. She must make a Concentration check (DC 25) or the fire will spill out of here in a 20 ft. radius dealing 3d4 additional points of fire damage (no save).
Modern SRD Adventure Hooks Twilight in the Desert The Hook: The Saudi ambassador has lost his briefcase. Instead of calling the police or alerting the media, the Saudi government desires a quiet investigation that won’t attract attention. The characters are contacted to aid in its recovery. The Catch: The briefcase contains a report detailing the country’s remaining oil reserves. Since the world’s economy hinges on how much oil is still in the ground, many people are interested in this geological study. Foreign governments, oil companies, equity investment firms all know of the report’s existence and will do anything to gain that briefcase. The characters are hired by any one of these parties to locate it.
The Siege The Hook: A large city’s computer‐systems director is arrested for embezzlement. Just before the cops grabbed him, he reset the city’s computer passwords so only he could access the network. All essential programs and services grind to a halt. The Catch: When the city managers visit the official in jail to convince him to reveal the new password a riot breaks out and the incarcerated official is taken hostage. The characters — as professional problem solvers not beholden to due process or negotiations — are called in to extract the official, or at least the password.
The Film Reel The Hook: Rumors surface that a film reel of Hitler’s last days in the bunker will be auctioned to a very exclusive group of international millionaires. It is said the film contains Hitler’s confessions, his plans to escape to South America or even stranger things.
The Catch: The film is stolen or disappears an hour before the auction. The characters are called in to find it. Competing with them on the search are third‐generation Nazis, the mob, the CIA and Mossad agents. The Sinker: If the movie is found and viewed it shows Hitler imitating Charlie Chapin for the entertainment of the children cooped up in the Berlin bunker.

Possibly the result of a rare red/black dragon breeding, the Night Dragon is generally smaller and more slender than either parent. Its dark scales glisten with a crimson undertone in any sort of light. They tend to be more active and sleep less than other races of dragon. Their distinct, slender serpentine neck further distinguishes them from other dragonkind. Loners by nature, they nonetheless relish any opportunity to spread discord and disharmony, which amuses them to no end. Although weaker than many of the other dragon race, their intellect and love of deceit more than makes them a challenge for the heartiest of adventurers. They are named the Night Dragon not only for their color, but a (false) rumor that they are nocturnal‐only creatures. Along with Gold Dragons, they are one of two known dragon races where all known specimens are presumed to have speech.
