1. The outlet for this portal is a much larger portal in the Moonwood. It's a two-way portal, so someone could step through Oloster's trellis then be in the Moonwood and once there take the Moonwood portal to any of the other portals it serves or back again through the trellis. - ?

2. An 18th-level wizard is someone with a reputation. News of his disappearance would travel far, especially if he is known as someone who can take care of himself, as Oloster is. This news may prompt an investigation by a wide variety of people, such as merchants, bill collectors, and followers, who might hire adventurers to find him. - ?

Спасибо!

1. The portal itself is a stone trellis atop Oloster's flat roof. He keeps a rudimentary garden there, and the trellis looks like a natural addition. - ?

2. Much to his surprise, someone did come through the portal, though the being did not partake of any of the refreshments left on the table nearby. Instead, it took Oloster.
This much at least was determined by Oloster's apprentice, Alia, when she examined the roof the next day. - ?

1.  The city of Sundabar, which consists of 14,000 strong souls north of the Nether Mountains, has but one purpose according to Faerûnians: to make magic weapons while not getting overrun by the hordes that assault it every year. Sundabar has two walls, many forges, and a sky that's usually thick with smoke. Rarely is there a time when there's not substantial cover over the sky from clouds, soot, or soot-stained clouds. - ?

2. For this reason Oloster Bluriman constructed a portal for his beloved god, Selûne. The key is quite simple: Whenever the moon shines upon the portal, it's active. Oloster felt the goddess had spoken to him in a dream and the focus of that dream was making a portal that would be open for as long as a moon was in the sky. - ?

Cпасибо!

1.  The portal itself is an outcropping of rock protruding from a small hill. When moonlight from a moon not more than two days older than full shines on the rocks, the outline of a portal glows brightly. The portal is keyed; one need only speak Selûne's name and the portal activates, leading to the Moonwood portal. - ?

2. Since the portal has been unattended for so long, much of it had suffered from the plants, trees, and animals surrounding it, developing cracks, pockmarks, and quite a collection of dirt and plant matter here and there. Yet, it still works as long as any bit of it can be exposed to moonlight as previously described. - ?

Cпасибо!

1.  A smooth, pointed roof is supported by ten white pillars that are solid pieces of marble. The interior is a full-circle dais that was also made from a single piece of marble and is highly polished. - ?

2. The Moonwood Portal is keyed. One must speak the goddess' name (Selûne) to activate it. Once done, the user steps onto the central platform and touches two of the pillars simultaneously of the pillars (two are always in reach of a Medium creature). The ceiling of the structure shows a map to the other portals it connects to, but it is not laid out plainly. - ?

1.  That was enough for the Bedine to think a great treasure of some sort had been recovered by the lamia of Hlaungadath. They caught and intended to question one of the lamia, but it got away before interrogation could be completed. Thus the pursuit began. But, because the note did not mention the portal before them, they didn't go through it. - ?

2. Naturally, those who have been expecting the precious cargo of "his lordship" became worried that something terrible had happened and sent out scouts of their own. The result was a quick canvass of the area, resulting in news about a widespread lycanthrope attack all over the Silver Marches. This had to be the reason for the disappearing cargo. Although not expert in tracking lycanthropes, they assumed that since wolves lived in forests so would lycanthropes, so forests became the primary sites of interest. - ?

Всем спасибо!

1.  The lycanthropes used the portal hoping to find something on the other side with which to have fun. They found a camp with only a few Bedine. Thinking them an easy target, the lycanthropes set upon them almost as soon as they saw the campers. Unfortunately, the Bedine were professional hunters who had been tracking a lamia from Hlaungadath and were quite capable of dealing with raiding thugs like the lycanthropes. All lycanthropes were slain except one, who retreated to the Far Forest portal. Of course, the Bedine, being able trackers, followed the wounded lycanthrope's blood trail easily and found the portal. Since the moon was still out, the portal edge glowed brightly. They noted the location of the portal and continued their hunt for the lamia as soon as they could break camp. - что-то не уловил, как продолжение погони связано с разбитием лагеря...

2. The Bedine compared the location of the portal with the fragment of the note that led to their hunting the lamia in the first place. Their note had the following text that was handwritten in Chondathan:
[. . .] Ascore when bandits [. . .] us. The caravan was largely scattered but I kept with his lordship to protect him and what he was carrying. I have to admit that my concerns were primarily with our cargo, not with [ . . . ].  - ?

- Наши успехи в математике - исключительно заслуга эльфов! Мы встретили их, и приняли термин "Перворождённые"! Потом мы узнали про расу, предшествующую эльфам. Именно из-за Нулерождённых у нас появилась концепция нуля. А потом мы узнали, что таких рас было много, и именно так открыли для себя мнимые числа...

Доброго времени суток!
Кто-то встречал разъяснения, как определяется порядок ходов при заготовленных действиях?
Противник (ночная карга верхом на кошмаре), находясь на Эфирном плане, заготавливает действие "Как только кошмар перенесёт меня на Материальный план, использовать заклинание на ближайшего врага". Приключенцы, ожидая врагов, заготавливают действие "Как только враг появится, стреляем в него". Кошмар переходит на Материальный план, и кто действует первым, если триггеры, вызывающие срабатывание заготовленных действий, происходят одновременно? Есть официальные разъяснения по этому вопросу?

Эх, раз никто ничего толкового по Artificer-у сказать не может...

Дурацкий вопрос по аурам паладина - чтобы их радиус увеличился до 30 футов, нужно иметь общий 18 уровень персонажа или 18-й уровень паладина?

Паладдина, разумеется!)
"When you gain a new level in a class, you get its features for that level."

Я бы понял, если бы в стоимость святой воды входила "стоимость услуг священника", но ведь нет же - склянка святой воды стоит 25 золотых, и для её создания требуется серебряная пыль стоимостью 25 золотых. То есть фактически указанная в главе о снаряжении цена святой воды должна быть убыточной для "производителя".

Помнится, в руководствах по Фаэруну 3-й редакции указывалось, что храмы добрых богов продают святую воду добрым приключенцам по себестоимости. Можно предположить, что цена в "Книге игрока" - это цена для тех, кто пришёл со словами "Падре, мы собираемся Зловещий Склеп Неупокоенной Нежити от зла очистить, поможете как-нибудь?"

Спасибо!

1. At the same time, a low racial Challenge Rating and flexible advancement by class make githyanki ideal opponents for characters of all levels. The githyanki are one of the most intriguing villainous races ever created for the Dungeons & Dragons game, and bringing them back from their Astral Plane exile lets them take center stage in your campaign. - ?

2. As mentioned several times in this article, issue #100 of Dungeon and Polyhedron contains more Incursion content For your campaign.
In the Dungeon section of issue #100, high-level PCs car take the war against the githyanki to the Astral Plane. - ?

Всем cпасибо!

1. Finally, the Incursion campaign as described here assumes that the campaign ends when the PCs travel to the Astral Plane and defeat the lich-queen (as described in “The Lich-Queen’s Beloved" in Dungeon #100) at around 18th level. If you use another kind of monster as the invading force, there is no need to end the invasion at that level; it might stretch well into epic levels, as mentioned above. Still, you should probably envision some kind of climactic encounter that marks the turning point of the campaign, even if it doesn't end the action. You could use an event that closely parallels the defeat of the lich-queen (such as a journey to another plane to confront the evil mastermind), or you could come up with a different way to turn the tide of battle (traveling in secret to Mount Doom to destroy the evil mastermind's ring of power, for example). - ?

2. In this latter scenario, the lich-queen knows that Veluna and Furyondy share good relations and open borders, so she opens the first gate into Veluna and waits for Furyondy’s forces to march to the aid of their allies. - ?

Хлипковат, имхо, фамильяр для ближнего боя

Ну, вот в моей группе плут/мистический ловкач использует фамильяра-филина (который может отлететь от врага, не провоцируя атаки) чтобы получить коварку по врагам, рядом с которыми нет других союзников!)
