Wednesday rolls around yet again, and naturally, so does a new Saving Throw. This week brings you a new hall of fame story from me and a prestige class from our Sound Test curator. In my story, I tell you about how we felt a enemy ship in a serious bind, and RedBeastMage gives you the ability to control the weather with his Stormlord prestige class.
Remember, readers, you can get yourself a golden caret by sending in a guide. I know you have good advice to share with your fellow gamers. Also, this week, I want to request your luckiest stories; tell me of the times the dice were just rolling your way or things just worked out great. I'll give you an golden caret in exchange for these stories as well.
With that done, it's time for the column.
Gaming Tip of the Week
"Expecting a sea battle between sailing ships? Having an enchanter aboard can be surprisingly helpful."
As if sailing on a ship called the Foul Wind wasn't bad enough, we also had to deal with rival pirates and a dragon turtle just after leaving port. Fortunately, the Foul Wind was blessed with a secret weapon.
