    I put this together for fun. Anyone have some A-Z thoughts of their own?

    -Can't argue that Irongate and Keoland could have used a sourcebook. OTOH, it would be irritating to have one's Already-Filled-In-Blanks co-opted by a new canon source.


    For Irongate, I've been thinking of having alternate Cobb Darg's (maybe two dozen). The DM can just pick.

    On the Maure Castle front, Mike, you should definitely read the threads and discussions over at the Paizo board @ http://paizo.com/paizo/messageboards/paizoPublishing/olderProducts/dungeon/maureCastle if you haven't already. Lots of good info.

    If you're also interested in HPL-inspired Kuntzian Greyhawk materials, check out AFS#2 @ http://hallsoftizunthane.blogspot.com/2012/12/afs-issue-2-is-released.html for Rob's article "Advent of the Elder Ones: Mythos vs. Man in the Lake Geneva Original Campaign, 1973-1976". (Some of this ties back to Maure Castle).

    I'll give some thought to my own A-Z list :D

    Fighter Fresco, human figter7, CR7(used to figure out XP value; you will have to extrapolate that yourself, based on a Fighter 7); medium humanoid; HD7d10+14; HP52 each; init+5 (bonus to Initiative rolls); spd 50' (speed: it moves ten 5' squares); AC22 (AC: -2; figured by subtracting 3.X AC from 20; i.e. 20 - 22 = -2); touch12 (AC vs. attacks that simply need to hit, but not penetrate armor); flat footed 21 (AC while surprised/denied dexterity bonus); base attack+7 (base chance to hit; for fighters this is +1 per level); Grp+10 (total attack bonus when grappling); attack +13(1d10+6/19-20, +1 bastard sword) (+13 is the total chance to hit, which includes fighter level, strength, magic, and any other bonuses; afterwards are listed the damage and what weapon is being used; this is for one attack, such as when the character moves and then attacks); Full attack+13/+13/+8 melee(1d10+6,19-20, +1 bastard sword) (this is for when the character can attack for the whole round without having moved; each attack bonus is listed, so two attacks at +13 to hit, and one attack at +8 to hit); SQ haste (SQ = special qualities; in other words "special abilities"; the fresco fighter can haste itself); al N (alignment: Neutral; standard for a magical construct), ; SV (saving throws) fort +7 (bonus for saves that involve physical fortitude, like poison), ref+12 (bonus for saves that involve reflexes, like dodging a lightning bolt), will +3 (save bonus for effects that target willpower, such as a charm person spell); str16, dex 12, con 14, int 10, wis13, cha8 (stats).
