How do your PCs avoid twitching paranoia, VT?
I still treasure getting them all jumpy and drawing crossbows once over someone lighting a fog lantern in 'spooooky fog'.

(Ask Ralin/Kramus about that'un, Oeryn ;) )


Going with the Hippopotamus theme, I'd like to reccomend a +8 racial bonus to hide checks while they're mostly underwater.
It'd make sense, but I don't know of any underwater creatures getting a bonus to hide even if they have camouflage.

I need to modify a hippo and give it the swallow whole ability...
Well, except their throats aren't really all that big. They just got a mouth that'll hold a town.
