The short trip from wonder to questioning took but an instant. From those first questions the magi sprang. The magic held in the stars represents the powers that the gods used to make the world. The stars stand as the anchor points in the universal design. Channeling their power allows the magician to create effects in the world without fundamentally altering the shape or nature of the universe. It is a subtle, gentle magic based on knowledge and personal exploration, not the rending and tearing of the world. Magi stand at the summit of the star magic world but nearly any arcane magician can learn to channel a few stars or constellations. A magician's knowledge of the stars progresses naturally from studies of other schools of magic. A student can sample from many styles and schools without limiting himself to one. Many arcane magicians find their abilities greatly enhanced with the addition of a few stars or constellations to their spells. If nothing else the study is good for them, enhancing their knowledge of the universe. A few find the subject so fascinating that they turn their backs on the other schools of magic entirely, focusing all their hearts and souls into a single area of study. In this they join their brothers the necromancers, diviners, and transmuters of the world looking for the key to power in a single source. This volume of the Encyclopaedia Arcane series gives players and Games Masters alike the information they need to begin using star magic in their campaign. You will find chapters exploring the interaction between star magic and standard schools, discussions of the various character classes in relationship to star magic, and an exciting new set of feats to help you customize characters. New magic items and a host of new spells await you as well. Star magic is not for every player. It requires forethought, planning, and a considerable patience to be successful. Unlike the 'standard' schools star magic requires a host of prerequisite knowledge in order to use the higher-level abilities. Those who lack the discipline to see beyond their immediate needs will end up seriously weakened as they gain experience. For those with the willingness to plan though star magic represents a unique approach that rewards their care. Magi possess powers that other arcane magicians can only envy. They also accept limits that would harrow another magician's soul. Additionally classes other than magicians gain benefits from star magic. A unique set of feats provides all character classes with advantages for being born under a favorable star. These signs represent just one way that non-magical classes could reap benefits from including star magic in a campaign.…

These beings made all that is, all that was and all that may ever be. They forged the realms of existence: the planes, the seas, the gods â" everything. None know their names, though all people tell stories of them and their creations. Even the gods cannot speak truth about their nature. These beings, whatever they are, set the stage for all that would come. Within the realms of existence, one finds three states of being: gods, mortals and beings who stand somewhere between the two. These latter beings, called Immortals, wield powers far beyond what mortals can hope to wield. They can call up armies of spirits, spark the sky into a raging blaze or shatter the earth with a single blow from their mighty hands. Great as their powers are though, they cannot match the godsâ might. Gods and Immortals wield incredible, world-shaking powers, manipulate the fate of nations and visit ruin upon those who oppose them. They may have worshippers, temples, nations and even entire worlds singing their praises. Most are as fickle as cats and seemingly indifferent to the damage done to lesser beings in their titanic struggles with cosmic forces. But where does that leave the common man? A mere puppet to be toyed with; a pawn to be used in the endless games of the gods? For those brave enough to take on the seemingly impossible there is hope, for mortals can become Immortals. They can take up arms against the gods themselves, shaping destiny to suit their personal whims. Their powers can shelter nations, strike down mountain ranges and shatter the barriers between worlds. The greatest challenge awaits you. Do you dare to take up the reins of power? Do you dare to challenge the forces of the universe, to take your place among the stars? In The Book of Immortals, we turn our attention to the fascinating adventures that take place when characters begin to transcend the limitations placed upon mortals. They begin to deal with the gods as equals or at least as individuals with enough power to change the world in their own right. They deal directly with good and evil, law and chaos, in its primal forms. They make bargains with celestial beings, play devils off against one another and may even develop a cult dedicated to their eventual deification. The rules presented in this book provide players and Games Masters with a structure with which they can represent these heady levels of accomplishment. They run parallel to the standard epic d20 rules, allowing the characters to use both systems simultaneously or for parties to split; some becoming epic characters while others develop themselves along the Path of Immortality.…

Softcover. Condition: Very Good. Mongoose Publishing Babylon 5 (d20) Zocalo, The (VG+) Manufacturer: Mongoose Publishing Product Line: Babylon 5 (d20) Type: Softcover Code: MGP3344 Copyright Date: 2004 Author: Shannon Kalvar Page Count: 128 Please review the condition and any condition notes for the exact condition of this item. All pictures are stock photos. The condition of the item you will receive is VG+. Our grading system is explained in the terms of sale section of our bookseller page. Please feel free to contact us with any questions. Product Description: Welcome to The Zocalo, the equipment book for the Babylon 5 Roleplaying Game. Within, you will find a plethora of gadgets and gizmos, ranging from the ridiculous to the sublime. Some of this equipment appeared in other Babylon 5 books. Most debut here, although a careful viewer will recognize them, or at least their implied presence, from the show. This book will also lay out the cost for various services, ranging from the fees for maintaining a potted plant in your room to renting a starcruiser or putting on a fireworks display. In addition, The Zocalo examines the technical achievements and gewgaws of over two dozen alien races, from the Abbai to the Vree. Each of these races, for good or ill, takes part in the galactic trade that feeds the economy of a thousand worlds. Of course, all races have things they simply do not trade. This 'secret' technology typically forms the core of a race's military or mercantile might. Secrets and lies surround another of the Zocalo's stock in trade: ancient artifacts stolen from long abandoned worlds. In order to lift the veil this book presents a complete system for creating unusual or unique artifacts, some of organic technology, others simply built using theories technology radically different from anything currently in operation. In many cases these items do not represent upgrades to the basic tools of living and war, but rather completely new approaches to what a living being might need. Merchants may sell something to a junkie for a handful of credits capable of changing the course of human history if it fell in the right hands. There is more to the markets and merchants than just amassing the credits to buy the next upgraded bit of technology. In addition to presenting long lists of kit this book also delves into the world of galactic trade. It starts this exploration in the Zocalo. This marketplace on Babylon 5 presents the complexity of galactic trade in microcosm. The struggles take place among the brightly colored stalls as merchants and pirates seek to build a business mirror those engaged in daily by the great corporations in Red Sector. Legitimate and illicit deals on every scale take place daily. The Zocalo also explores the black markets on Babylon 5. A knowledgeable shopper can find anything from fake identification cards to enough guns to supply an army. Finding the merchandise only begins the process. The shopper must gain the vendor's trust, pay off all the right people, and negotiate a labyrinth of conflicting racial and local gangs. Simple purchases, things like a personal weapon or a bit of Dust, take almost no time at all. More expansive deals may require a dozen tricky negotiations, each one fraught with peril.…

Softcover. Condition: Very Good. Mongoose Publishing Slayer's Guides (d20) Slayer's Guide to Ogres, The (VG+) Manufacturer: Mongoose Publishing Product Line: Slayer's Guides (d20) Type: Softcover Code: MGP0028 Copyright Date: 2004 Author: Shannon Kalvar Page Count: 32 Please review the condition and any condition notes for the exact condition of this item.

Please feel free to contact us with any questions. Product Description: Welcome to The Slayer's Guide to Ogres, the latest installment in the long running 'Slayers Guide' series. Each book in the series focuses on a single monster or monstrous race from the pages of Core Rule Book III. This allows us to explore the monster in depth, providing details about its history, culture, and physical presence that might not be immediately obvious. This book, and the others in the series, seeks to provide the reader with a 'ready to use' monster template that both entertains and intimidates the players. For Games Masters it needs to provide a sufficiently setting neutral yet detail rich description to be easily applied to any campaign. For players, it should provide sufficient information to both entice the player to make a character of the race and bring a level of believability to hostile encounters with them. The most difficult question this book must address, more complex than anything to do with fictional physiology or subcultures, finds its clearest expression in the simple question: Why ogres? Why do players want to create ogre characters? Why do Games Masters want to use ogres as villains, minions, or setting elements? What about them attracts attention? What about them makes them the laughable buffoons encountered in song and story? The basic image of ogres, of monstrous stupid men who can sweep cattle up in their arms, reoccurs in the folklore of hundreds of cultures. Every single time the ogre appears; a clever human or god appears right behind him, tricking the mighty creature to his death. Despite his strength and cannibalistic ways the ogre stands no chance against the tricky mind of an alert human being. From the Core Rulebook III we know that ogres are large, vicious, and extremely lazy. They do not work well together, nor do they believe in bathing. Although they use some basic tactics most ogre encounters involve running away from foes. The same source describes two (or possibly three) races of ogre. The common ogre stands nine to 10 ft. tall, smells like a dung heap, and avoid direct confrontations. The merrow resemble their land-bound cousins but breath water and swim like fish. Finally we have the ogre mage, a creature somehow related to the common ogre but remarkably different; although they share a similar physical appearance the ogre mage represents a quantum level greater threat than an ogre. These three races represent an amalgamation of three basic folklore creatures: the ogre (large, strong, dumb), the merrow (a rather ugly merman from Irish legends), and the Japanese oni (literally ogre, demon, or fierce god). Ogres belong to all cultures. Merrow, as a specific type of relatively friendly merman, really only appear in Irish folklore. Oni come in many shapes but the Core Rulebook III limits ogre magi to a relatively mundane forms. Although it is tempting to discard the folklore as irrelevant to a gaming supplement, that lore also provides some clues to the solutions we seek. Specifically, it points towards several particulars that can weave together to form a coherent narrative. These particulars form the framework of this book. By picking and choosing which elements fit in a specific setting the Games Master can easily add depth to his ogres. Similarly players can create interesting ogre characters from all three racial strains.…
