[QUOTE="Feathercircle, post: 860809, member: 11266"] [b]^^;;;;;[/b] I've never even [I]seen[/I] a monster manual in three-ring format... I guess that makes me kind of a newbie, then. You were right, though, my Dark Sun book is exactly 128 pages. The other two are close, at 126 each... So I guess that my other two books (ie, not the Ravenloft one) [I]do[/I] just coincidentally happen to be the ones you lack. Wow. More Athasian goodness: Alchemists have noted the pseudopsionic nature of slig telepathy and seek specimens with which to experiment. It is believed that slig blood or marrow is actually a stimulant to psionic activity, but these are just old wives tales... Some in Raam and Balic have offered as much as 20 cp for a live slig. The poison [of dark spiders] is highly prized by assassins. Ssurran eggs are inedible, as is their flesh, but their skin is sometimes worked as scale armor (AC 6) that is resistant to heat. Though the flesh cannot be eaten, the hide of the [moonbeast/stalking horror] makes excellent armor and shields. If properly treated, the hide can make leather armor with an effective AC 5. It also gives its wearer a +1 bonus on saving throws for all spells of 1st and 2nd level. [The tari's] disease-causing venom is produced by two glands set ddeep in the jaw.... Retrieving the glands from a fallen tari is a difficult and dangerous task, but the deadly properties of their contents makes them valuable to the alchemists and bards of the cities. Thri-kreen chitin can also be used for armor by humanoids if care is taken. (I watched Nausicaa last night and this is now strongly reminding me of the people forging armor and swords out of shed Ohmu chitin.... ^^;;;;) While in larval form, xerichous are considered a delicacy by the thri-kreen. Also the secretions made while cocooned are highly sought for their astral properties for use in potions and research. And that just about finishes my Dark Sun Monstrous Compendium except for a rather lengthy bit about silt spawn. The MC not only mentions that they can be used a spells, but actually gives a new spell itself.. and I figure if I'm posting the one, I should post the other as well... And that's all I can do for now... Tonight is D&D night, so I need to go prep before my players start showing up. Thank you for starting this thread! [/QUOTE]
