Hi!

Has anyone played the Door to the Unknown drinking contest on p. 26? Am curious what Ale Names people made up. Has there been a thread about planar beverages? Some names I thought would be fitting were:

Volano’s Rage (Gehenna)
Howling Tornado (Pandemonium)
Dark Glory (Acheron)

But then i discovered that beer names in our world are far crazier:

Skull Splitter (Scottish Ale)
Immort Ale (American Ale)
Blithering Idiot Barley Wine (American Ale)

Cool - thanks for posting this! I have found stuff from various sources. I also like the name of this one pub in Sigil called 'The Speckled Rat'. In Britain, there is an ale called 'Old Speckled Hen' so I used 'Old Speckled Rat' instead.

Other made up ones are:

Sylvan Moon Ale (Arborea)
Modron Oil (Mechanus)

Hmh, in our campaign, Lady's Delight contains razorblades- which you have to avoid swallowing while drinking...

That's a fun idea. Do you have rules for avoiding them (dex check?), and what happens when someone accidentally drinks a bunch of razor blades? (ouch)

Well I only posted the names, I didn't post the details that Lord of the Ninth posted because I changed a few of them around. But here are the actual stats I use in my game. I'm by no means a rules guy, so you may find my rulings out of wack, but they work for me & my players have never complained:


Planar Alcohol:

Drunk rules:
1st drink = none, 2nd = -1 DC Fort check, 3rd = -2, ect. Fail = 1d2 dmg Dex & Wis. Gain 1 Dex & Wis an hr after drinking
0 Dex = prone & dizzy, 0 Wis = passes out. 0 Dex & Wis = Fort save (DC 25) fail = poisoned -1Con dmg every 10 min

Any drink that deals HP damage deals it automatically. If you have DR, you can resist the damage.
