The form is not winged unless the target is, in which case it can fly at a rate of 12“ so long as the caster is unencumbered, 6” if carrying heavy gear, and nothing if very heavily loaded or worse. While in this form he or she can only be struck by magical weapons and can attack either with a weapon as normal, or by using their hands (single attack routine doing 1d4/1d4 plus any strength modifiVitrificationNitrificationto normal heat or cold and against magical attacks of these forms takes half damage or none, depending on a saving throw.Īrmour class is reduced to 5 or remains as it was before, whichever is best. The entrances, of course, can be guarded as he sees fit, so long as he does not actually barricade them.Įxplanation/Description: When this spell is cast, the cleric takes on the stony form of a gargoyle. Arghrasmak has abandoned human sacrifice, and the Overlord recognises the boundary of the temple as beyond his reach. The Overlord has compromised with Arghrasmak on sanctuary, avoiding a direct confrontation with a being of unknown but substantial power. Note that the issue of whether the member actually stole anything at all is not relevant here. If the member is found not-guilty of their alleged crime, the fee is half the amount they were accused of if found guilty the fee is only a quarter of the claimed amount. Normal members (casual, 0-level thieves and beggars) pay 5sp per festival, and are expected to attend at least one per year (making up for missed events by paying the shortfall).Ĭlassed thieves are expected to pay 100gp value per level per year and for this they get the protection sanctuary and +5% to their ability to hide in shadows.Īll members in good standing will (must) receive the services of an appointed litigation trickster from the guild thereof if arrested for theft-related crimes. The temple’s congregation is mostly thieves and the temple itself is responsible for the thieves’ quarter’s existence as it offers sanctuary to its laity. I’m going to try to represent the full AD&D 9-point system in this series of posts but I’m sticking to my stance of eschewing Concordant Opposition, although I will revisit it in the future. There are hints in the text that the authors wanted this or that NPC to be, say, LN - in particular, the overlord himself - and that applies to the gods as well. Indeed, the gods of the city state are an interesting mix of major and minor, multi-planar, and local with a range of characteristics which makes it an interesting challenge to fit into any single framework.Īnother point is that the alignment system in the 2nd edition seems to be a 5-point system with LG, CG, LE, CE, and N only. So the range of deities in the city includes some from GD&H as well as ones which were included in D&DG. The first one is that this edition was part-way between LBB D&D and AD&D. ![]() The version of CSIO is the second edition from 1980 so there’s a few difficulties. This is the first post in an experiment to see if I can convert the temples of the City State of the Invincible Overlord into the religious outline from the previous post.
