I got published in a D&D book, again
Like last time, it pays no money, but it’s still kinda cool.
Suck Da Head, Squeeze Da Tail is a Dungeons & Dragons compilation whose proceeds benefit Habitat for Humanity as a way of helping out the victims of Hurricane Katrina.
I wrote the Swamp King prestige class to model the scary dude in the swamp who seems almost supernatural in his mastery of the environment:
They are figures of legend, moving through swamp and marsh as though they were kings riding through their realms.
Some are predators, hunting those who enter their territory with a mix of animal cunning and a mastery of their swampy domain. Others are heroes, protecting the weak who stumble into dangerous wetland territories. But most are mysteries, seldom seen, more known in rumor than in fact, lords of a domain few will ever penetrate and return to tell the tale.
The greatest of swamp kings are said to move through a swamp invisibly, able to appear and disappear at will and are said to command all the beasts of the swamp wetlands.
The five-level Swamp King prestige class starts on page 156.

That’s awesome! Your nerd powers are indeed impressive. Can the Swamp King and Flunky classes be combined in some strange way?

It would be a character both pathetic and grotesque that would have levels in both prestige classes, but it’s certainly possible.
