RPG report

well to start off RPG scenarios section i will describe the game, its a D20 turn based RPG called Dawn of Devils. the players can choose their race from one of 17 playable races, they then choose two major skill branches each consisting of tens skills, the branches are combat, physical, mental, and social. there are no set classes. then the player chooses 15 major skills from the four branches with no more than five coming from the chosen minor skill branches and the rest from the two major skill branches. skills include things such as swordsmanship, lockpicking, preforming and elemental magic. the players leveling up by using their major skill and keeping track of uses. the higher the level the more skills are needed to level up and the more usues to level up a skill. More details will be divulged later.



anyway tonight a friend came over and we were playing the RPG I was being dungeon master for him to practice on it. he plays a halfling(aka hobbit) who is passively possessed by a demon. he does superficial magic, whis is magic not having to do with any of the elements(fire water earth air electricity light time nature) things such as messing with peoples minds and emotions, creating illusions, raising dead, and other such things. He has an undead guardian with a shield that reflects all spells that hit it that he uses as a meat shield, he has used an illusion spell to make it look like a big warrior who has suffers some extensive head injuries. anyway he visited a town and was recruited by an elf and a human to help clear out a ruin filled with uruk-hai orcs and goblins. they charge the frong gate of the ruin and are mobbed by about ten assorted baddies. which were quickly killed. he immediately raised them from the dead to have zombie warriors to help fight for him. this continued with most of the rest of the baddies, about sixty total. almost all of which he raised as zombies. he lost some but most of them survived.
