That inContinue reading “Moving Forward”
PF 1e: Necromancer’s Hammer
One of my favorite characters I ever played was Lyle, a halfling necromancer that hates undead. He excelled at taking down ability scores and using many unconventional spells to great effect. This would have been a spell he would have loved to use. Necromancer’s hammer was originally in the Inner Sea Magic Player Companion andContinue reading “PF 1e: Necromancer’s Hammer”

Orphans are such a common part of our inspiring fiction for role playing games that having the people that raised your character present throughout one’s childhood and still alive is almost a rarity.
