That should probably read:
"When Amilektrevitrioelis would otherwise be destroyed, it returns to its hoard in 2d4 days with a successful level check (1d20 + 24) against DC 16."
Of course, since Amilek is considered 24th level, and (as an undead) isn't subject to negative levels or level drain, the check always succeeds, so you can just shorten it to:
"When Amilektrevitrioelis would otherwise be destroyed, it returns to its hoard in 2d4 days."
...which is probably how the whole mishmash happened. |

This is how it read when I submitted it "When Amilektrevitrioelis would otherwise be destroyed, it returns to its hoard with a successful level check (1d20 + 24) against DC 16."
Of course, that always succeeds unless some sort of magic is altering its checks or levels in some way. We still include it in the stats for the small possibility that something like that might happen (and because some people might not entirely understand how level checks work, so including the information saves them some effort). |

| I was just wondering, how many levels of Beholder Mage does Lestch’cymatium have? |
There is a rumour going around that I have found god. I think is unlikely because I have enough difficulty finding my keys, and there is empirical evidence that they exist.

I do hope we'll one day see that part of "Chapter 4" cut out come up as a Web Enhancement Part 4.
I think it's been long overdue for a "Faiths&Pantheons" style write-up for the Draconic Pantheon. (minus the deity-stats, of course, for space reasons.)
Now is as good a time as any to get those draconic deities (other than Bahamut and Tiamat) involved and written out.
Also, it would make sense, considering Dragons of Faerun stated that the Great Cycle is coming again. And we know the Great Cycle is basically the draconic deities receiving a sudden influx of worship. |

| I can't say much about that material and is was Eric's work, but I did include a list of dragon deities in the dragonfire adept installment of Class Chronicles. |

| Ah, this will carry over from other boards eh? lol. Mr. Bernstein, I still insist that you all do a web enhancement on some more dragon varieties. I won't go into detail because you know what I'm talking about but could I bother either you or Eric to look in the general forum here on candlekeep and look at the two special dragons thread. I put up quite a bit of realms lore for the electrum and yellow dragon for the nay-sayers. Anyways, still like the idea that Razz has brought up, ND out!! :P |
Sure wish we could get a conversion for the Yellow Dragon! |

No, it will not carry over from the other boards. 
We are aware of the discussion that went on over there, and it is because of that discussion that I am commenting.
Eytan, Eric, Ed, Steven, Elaine, and a whole bunch of other designers and writers are kind enough to donate their time and energy to discussions with us. We do not make demands of them, nor do we insist that they satisfy our every whim. If you cannot play by the rules, you will be asked to leave. |

LOL, wow, didn't know the topic was the well known. Well sorry Wooly if you think i'm making demands, but I assure you i'm not. It is a request. A REQUEST. Just trying to get the topic more exposure to get more opinions on it is all. I don't appreciate the manner in which you jumped my chops but I'm a big boy and I can handle it. Don't know of any rule you insist I am breaking either, why don't you please inform me if you don't mind through PM or something. Anyways, that's not my point here. I am simply giving some input on some game material I would like to see published, plain and simple. If you don't get that, I don't know what to say.  |

| We are moving on from this topic. If you have an issue about that particular decision, it will be handled through PM, not in this thread. Please move on, and PM Alaundo or one of the moderators if you wish to discuss this further, but right now, weather a request or a demand, its done. Thank you for moving on, and lets get back to discussion Dragons of Faerun. |

 So...about them dragons. According to the Monster Manual it says that dragons are either good, such as the metallic, or evil such as the chromatic. I would most likely think, in my view of course that dragons would tend towards neutrality due to their isolationist nature. |
Listen to the silence of the wilds, in there lies the wisdom of ages. |

Being isolated (or preferring that) doesn't preclude still wanting the best for everyone... Just because you don't want (or, for some reason, can't have) direct interactions doesn't mean you don't care. |

Shame. I always liked their tie to Drow (moreso than to Shadow Dragons), but I understand the limited room issue.
Thanks for answering. :)
Yeah, I would have preferred tying the Jaezred Chaulssin to deep dragons rather than shadow dragons, but that ship sailed long ago, with the write-up of Nurvureem.

Where's the write-up of Nurvureem the drow-dragon? |
