The guildmaster may ask individual PC's to volunteer to take on the role of leader for an adventure.  The main reason this exists is so that the person who is currently acting as DM does not have to also take a super active role for their PC.
The leader may only suggest courses of action, they have no authority.....

So one overlooked aspect has always been magical research and creating new spells and modifying others....
Mages can do spell research, specialists are strongly encouraged.

Sanstree famously created a couple of spells one was a new orison called
"Magic thistle"  (magic missile for 1 point of damage)
and the first level spell Magic thistles, which creates the 1d4+1 individual "thistles" instead of the one missile (that does 1d4+1 damage)....

It would also fit that a specialist Evoker or someone trained as an evoker might already know this spell varation.....

So this idea could work for any specialist wizard.....
Diviner..orison ."locate spectacles"  (any nearby item they own)


Sanstree is also known for the ship friendly third level spell that combined the effects of entangle, and warp wood, into a spell he called ?

The game room is set up with a list of usable NPC characters that are meant to be generic and usable by any DM for any game, if another specific NPC character is needed we will work together to get the needed thing.

This includes the Name of the NPC, the proper tag line and bio lines 1 and 2...

For example This one is
"BBEG Big Bad Evil Guy"

 "I am the villain!!"
 "of every story"
 "and this one"

.....this is the NPC for the underground informant or just for an overheard rumor "relevant" to the game....

Example:
Two women and scrubbing their wash and one says to the other
"Why are so many cats missing, and why is there a shortage of wine?"

Any local leader who believes they are entitled to your cooperation...

Example....
The greasy bureaucrat leans on his elbows...
"It is I who decides when and if you get paid."

The sniveling suck up to the leader chimes in...
"You let them know who is boss around here."
The man says boldly as he shrinks away under your glare...

Obviously neptism is alive and well....

This can literally be any "monster"

Example(s):
A huge wild boar charges out of the underbrush, spooking your horse...and heading straight for..squealing and grunting like a feral tornado...attacking the leg with a wicked tusk....

A distended face raises above the head stone, the lang claws of the creature pull it upright swiftly an impossibly long tongue comes out of its mouth along with a low hiss, that sounds like the word "Braaaaiiiiiinnnssss"


The wizard raises a wand, discharging a flurry of magic missiles, one for each of you...

This is any sort of swarm attack, bees, spiders, snakes, bats, rats, stirge anything in which the monsters have the swarming special ability, or could be properly called a "swarm"

As you approach the spring to refill your water skin
You accidentally step of a nest of ground wasps!!!

As you open the suspected vampires coffin, ready to stake it through the heart
You open the top just for a carpet of rats to surge up your legs

You notice the coffin is empty and a hole is in the bottom

This is any time that you are in a business working with a barkeeper, merchant, bartering, etc, etc.....

As you move down the hallway the floor suddenly pivots up and dumps you into a pit...

....those observing see the floor rise up, and sort of pivot to both block the line of sight so you cannot see what actually happened

Pivot trap!!!!

In reply to Unmar Kedgrave (msg # 12):

Resource supplement.

In reply to Unmar Kedgrave (msg # 12):

You'll note that Dark Sun isn't mentioned but that will be utilised at some point.

Guild specific gear....

The attaching belt
Technically the belt has a short cordage, that attaches to the belt or to any other solid surface, The magical anchor at the end of the cordage holds up to 350 pounds, the plate on the belt that the anchor attaches to, can be moved, and thus the specific length of the cord can be adjusted....
If it has other properties you have not been told or trained on those or you have not experimented.....

The guild cloak, is built with baffles, and with no training in an environment with air the cloak will act as a parachute (non-magical feather fall effect)....
If it has other properties you have not been told or trained on those or you have not experimented.....
