06-30-06, 11:47 AM I was wondering how people handle the ironic D&D Mages in Eberron. I'm having trouble fitting the fire mage who lives in an ice castle, and the lich who is carrying out a crusade against the undead in my Eberron campaign.

Share how you've fit ironic mages into your campaign!

06-30-06, 06:33 PM Well I have been trying to find a place for my grimlock illusionist.

For some reason my half-orc sorcerer became a fairy dragon disciple, breathing puffs of pink smoke.

And The Great Oz, wizard/bard, keeps biting the heads off his bat familiars.

I hate to break it to you, kid, but none of those are really ironic.

Look up "situational irony" on the Internet somewhere.

06-30-06, 08:01 PM There is a lich residing in the Frostfell who is a faithful devotee of The Keeper. Once a year, he visits selected children across Eberron at night and leaves small gifts for them. While these gifts appear to be wonderful and a blessing (folklore considers them to be a gift for the kindest and brightest children), each of them gradually corrupts the willing possessor into being more selfish, self-absorbed and inconsiderate of others. Over the years, the desire to hoard more gifts of a similar make becomes overpowering, and in the end many of these children become devotees of The Keeper themselves, in action if not in name.

Ho ho ho!

Ho ho ho!

Now that's less ironic, and more satirical.
