So maybe one in a thousand sexual encounters between elves leads to offspring. One in two fifty to five hundred when it’s the same set of parents for repeated pairings. But elves are not, by nature, monogamous. Continue reading Elven Reproduction and You
While cities and imperial towns are inherently Of Law (civilization requires a ruling class, a religious class, and some sort of trade membership), not all of the towns, villages, and hamlets in Lyonesse are likewise aligned. Some are Unaligned, and a few are Of the Balance (the Druids usually give these away). There are no settlements larger than camps, dungeons, or forts that are Of … Continue reading Settlement Alignment

Note that Necromancers do not lose their ability to cast the reverse of any of these spells (as applicable), and that I’m working on replacement spells for these losses, especially the Level Six spells which have been particularly hollowed-out. Continue reading Cleric Spell List, part two
The magic of sorcerers, wizards, and necromancers is Of Chaos. Chaos has a high affinity for black iron, the less refined, the better. Raw ore is the easiest to enchant, followed by wrought iron, forged iron, and steel. Cultists refer to iron as “the teeth of Tiamat”, although that is not accepted Church doctrine. Continue reading Materia Magicka
Not that I’m saying it will come up in the campaign (necessarily), but given the pulp-inspired changes to alignment in the setting (and the foundational nature of the death of Tiamat), expect Black, Blue, Green, Red, and White dragons to be of Chaos, Golden dragons to be of the Balance, and Sea dragons to be Unaligned.

A hobgoblin’s prime requisites are INT and DEX, which are required to be 9 or higher. Hobgoblins have darkvision to sixty feet, but do not possess any particular keen senses otherwise. Continue reading Hobgoblins

The demihuman classes in Labyrinth Lord list average height and weight (which I threw out for my elves to make them more statuesque, and hardly matter for halflings in exile or dwarves in extinction). Size guidelines for humans are a touch more obscure. My initial plan was to just provide a paragraph or two of human default information. But the more I think about providing … Continue reading Human size ranges
