Introducing: Silas the Senior Gate Warden

This is a rough preview of The Book of Gates for Pathfinder and it details one of the Gate Wardens.

Someone has to keep an eye on Midrea's Gates not only to keep people from using them for various nefarious purposes but to keep potential threats from the other side under some semblance ofcontrol.

In the city of Firhom, the Senior Warden is a man named Silas. Silas is relatively young for a Senior Gate Warden, being only 50 but his previous superior, Sten Grendi died of a heart attack and as the most powerful and skilled of the Wardens, his job fell to Silas.

It pays decently well but that is offset by needing to deal with political intrigue and the occasional extra-dimensional invasion.

What the heck, its a living ...

Note this stat block does not include a fill write up for his Edolion. If you plan on using Silas in your game, you can detail that yourself along with any necessary calculations or wait for the book.

This is an open promotion call for freebie games for any edition of D&D, any retro clone and anything else that you think the readers of a blog thats mostly about Pathfinder and the OSR might like.

If you have something you think someone might like and you think is not getting enough attention, reply to this thread and send me the link.

After I get enough cool links, I'll post them all in one big post. If I really get enough I'll tweak the page to show em.

So hows that for you? Free adds for free products.

The only rules are

#1 The promoted download needs to be free and legal (obviously)

#2 I get to decide what is interesting enough to be posted

Beyond that. Post away

Some Things I Am Working On

New Racial Classes for Labyrinth Lord

Elves.

My take on elves is that all of them use arcane magic of some kind. Like a certain elf from a very bad movie "Humans use magic as versus elves being part of it." This colors all the elf classes as X + Plus magic user.

All elves will have certain abilities in common. In newer editions these would be called "racial" abilities but here they are part of the class.

Those abilities include:

Night Vision (instead of infrasvision)
auto detect secrets doors on a 1-2 and concealed doors on a 1-3 if within
Immune to aging,disease, ghoul touch, magic sleep
Hear Noise +1
Surprised 1 time in 6 less
Stronghold at L9

Classes for Elves include

Sword Dancer (your classic fighter/mage)
Spell Hand (sneaky elf)
Wanderer (woods elf)
Arcane Archer (archery and magic rather similar to the prestige class)
Healer (limited cleric and nature magic )
