I misread that as "St. Colbert"

I guess his clerics would turn/rebuke bears, eh?

On a different note, care to summarize the arcane feats briefly in class acts: arcane? Very relevant, as I'm making a wizard and I've been agonizing over what to do with it. Can't wait for my copy to arrive.

Have you looked at Complete Arcane and Complete Mage yet, Asmor? Just wondering. I mean I agree that those arcane feats seem pretty nice. Just curious you know...

I'll say that the spotlight on the Dragonlance movie assuaged my worries that it would look terrible. The traditional animation looks pretty good -- it's just when the 3D images are included that it turns a little "eh."

Sadly, they apparently are making all dragons CG. Very sad.

Looks like a good issue.

Yeah, it does look like a good issue. Looks like I will definitely be buying the last two issues.

i wouldn't dream of not getting them.

care to give a little more on the articles? and what's in the Next Issue preview...???

What is the "advanced" kaorti? Is it a kaorti with class levels, or an actual alternate monster?

Few questions:

---What's going on in Unther and Mulhorand?

---Tell us what the new feats in Arcane Class Acts do?

---What do they say about the River Styx?

---Detail more on the Masterwork items article?

Personally, I'm intrigued by the Dragonlance movie and I can't wait to see the article on the Chaturani. Extraplanar eh? What plane are they from? Mechanus I assume?
