Maps and Levels

Yup, they're from the interactive atlas. I will be posting more at a later time if people are interested.

Cool - lots of maps I haven't seen there! Sembia was never detailed much.

[manikus]

Well, in that case, here are the rest of the maps I have for Sembia, including one of the region itself.

Sounds like some weird dwarven treasure item: the beard sock +2

One of the great dwarven treasures is the artifact the "Adamantine Beard Sock of Crumb Repellant" reportedly once worn by Berronar Truesilver, Goddess of Safety and Home, among other things.

Within can oft be found the other dwarven artifact, "Beard Snot of Berronar," which upon frantic mastication and swallowing thereof, confers any bearded dwarf a permanent luxuriousness (and shininess) to their beard that any dwarf dreams of! (CHA +4 to any dwarf!)

Any non-dwarf or pitifully shaved dwarf who imbibes of the BSB, however, unfortunately must save vs. poison -6 or die instantly in an explosion of beard. If the victim survives, he/she instead gets the beneficial effect above (except that non-dwarves are horrified by this and get a CHA -4 penalty instead (-8 for women)).

But nice maps, there! Hmm - Sembia might be a good place to have a mod, since you get to decide much of what goes on there!

I was thinking much the same thing about Sembia. i had also heard it is a good place to start a quest for the ABSCR and the BSB.

"explosion of beard"???

Still does nothing for the thinning of hair on the dwarven head, tho

But it does allow for one heck of a comb-over.

[Uatu]

Ha ha ha...

Actually, how often do you see comb-overs where you all are? It is very common here (in Japan) - embarassingly so. I think that they comb it over and it looks fine to them (in the mirror from their point of view) - their wives must be mean not to tell them that it is VERY OBVIOUS that it is a comb-over ("barcode" here).

But yes, dwarven beards are probably the biggest cause of the tendency of dwarven men to go bald (Some dwarves have hienously and sacrilegiously tried to apply the BSB to their heads, to disastrous effect...)
