Saturday saw the start of my housemate's much delayed first D&D4e game, set in Eberron. He's starting out with the book adventure, going on to the Free RPG Day adventure, and then Seekers of the Ashen Crown, and whatever he comes up with after that ( Read more... )

Doing prep work for my Friday game and decided I needed doppelganger minions. I looked at a few minions around that level, took some guesses, and came up with something. These haven't been playtested, but I think they fit within expectations. Stats are behind the cut, if anyone feels like using them in their own game.
