Looks like Sandstorm's Sand Dragon to me. Not that that's a bad thing, mind you. Just saying. Pure evil, this dragon. Blinds you/stuns you, then sneak attacks you. Don't forget the close blast 10 breath weapon! Do all Elder dragons have such huge breath weapons? I haven't cracked open my MM...

Hey, does the Gnoll Demon Adept remind anyone of: ? I also must chime in with the troglodyte hate. The new design is awful in general, and the Curse Chanter is definitely a special brand of "bad." Love the dragons, ogres, kruthiks, illithids, demons, and devils though. Oh, and the...

Definitely subscribing in some form.

I actually imagine that the barbarian going toe-to-toe, blow-for-blow with something like a dragon or giant would be an experience the whole group could enjoy. I know my PCs would be cheering the Barb on, at least.

^^^ Yup.

Rage Strike looks cool for those times when you've already entered a rage whose benefits you enjoy and don't want to replace by entering a new rage. Also, Rage Strike does more damage than the various Daily rages do, pretty much. I find it kinda odd that the two 25th lvl Daily rages do 7[W]...

Oh, it just means "end thread." Or "thread over." :p

That's pretty cool! Thanks for the sneak peek. I can't wait to see how this book turns out. I just noticed that vargouilles are in, and I loved those things! Nothing like a monster that wants to kiss you to freak PCs out.

Woohoo, new monsters in a new monster book! Can't wait. Any chance you could shine some light on the dragonborn atavists, Blackdirge? With so many different versions my curiosity is piqued.

Yeah, I really like the stuff from Fat Dragon. I was gonna give Estlor some XP for pointing me out to them, but it looks like you get it Zaukrie! I'm all about cutting & pasting (that's how I make most of my maps), and the Fat Dragon stuff would definitely enhance the look of my homemade maps...

Wow, thanks for the help everyone! Greatly appreciated. That Dwarven Forge stuff is beautiful but a little outside my already strained funds. I'd like to get a set piece for an important encounter or something, but I could spend the same money on mats and tiles and probably get more utility...

n/m, answered my own dumb question.

Thanks for the link, Festivus, and thanks to everyone else for the comments. I think I'm going to do a little of both. Flip-mat + tiles, then bust out some original maps when appropriate. Lots of sets of tiles to choose from... any gems that I should definitely look for?

Well, do you kind folks have any links to some good alternatives? I'm not familiar with battlemaps/flip-mats and such.

So, as my game continues I'm finding it harder and harder to make maps suitable for the minis aspect of D&D. The more control the PCs have over where they go and what they do, the more difficult it is for me to have maps ready in advance. So, I'm thinking about picking up some of the D&D...

LOL! Oh man, if that isn't worth some XP I don't know what is! I was pondering whipping up an artifact/intelligent weapon for an upcoming NPC, and here's this article! I'm truly blessed!

True! I wasn't considering Dragon & Dungeon... I was talking more about my wallet actually!

Alright, soooo... October is slow. But November is MURDER. Draconomicon, Martial Power, a few cases of Demonweb minis... better start saving now!

OMG dragonborn barbarians! That cover pic is sweet. Skill challenges and gladiator crunch, on top of barbarians? AND artifacts? Looks like a good issue to me!
