Belpheron is a nice person!

If you ever run into a character named Belpheron, do NOT be alarmed. She is a very generous and caring person that will help you through many dificult times on the BadLands by giving out money, advice, and words of encouragment!!!!

I couldn't get a screen capture of Belpheron, but I found this image accuratly depicting what "Belph" probably looks like.

Peace Out,

New Sub-Races

I've been talking with our DM's about removing some sub-races and adding new sub-races and it was suggested to ask for some player input.

What kind of sub-races would you want?
Which sub-races are totally worthless and why?

I've always thought of BadLands as a big island that is used as a prison by all the known realms. We are left to die or survive. Only the strongest or the smartest survived to breed with the local monsters.

One of the things the sub-races are missing is racial spells and spell-like-abilities. I want to start adding these to the sub-races. Yes, it would be backwards compatible and existing chars would get the long over due spells. An Arctic Dwarf might get "Freeze Blade", an on-hit spell similar to Dark Fire.

Overwhelm us with ideas please. Even a "bad" idea might be the spark of something neat.

New Quests

I've been talking with our DM's about building new quests for BadLands and it was suggested to ask for some player input. I know that the Mandros Quest is a bear and most of the other quests are just as clueless. We want to start adding quests for different levels.

So, what kind of quests seem good to you? What rewards seem good?

I know somebody will ask for and instant level 40 reward and I can do that providing you earn the first 39 levels.

I've been thinking about something like: kill 20 Electric Beetles and collect their bellies, kill a Diamond Golem (or 10) and collect the Diamond chips, then you can get a item that can cast "Electric Blade" on your sword (not on your buddies). Electric Blade would be like Flame Blade except does "on-hit electric damage" and would not require any UMD skill or mage classes.

Overwhelm us with ideas please. Even a "bad" idea might be the spark of something neat.
