As the guy who wrote up those class breakdowns, here's what I'd do. 1. Figure out its ECL 2. Spread its HD over that many levels 3. Spread its special abilities (including stat bonuses) over that many levels. 3a. Keep in mind that flight shouldn't be available for most creatures until about 5th...

Also, because this book came out very close to the release of 3E, there are very few game stats in it (other than how many levels in what classes characters have) since we didn't want to have compatibility problems between the two editions of the game.

Be sure to also check the Lords of Darkness errata, as IIRC the description of that drug was changed at the last minute (not by me) into ... well, into something wrong. The errata fixes that.

Re: What happened to all those books!!! It was sold at a discount through the Mail Order Hobby Shop. When WotC took over, they looked at all of it, realized most of it wasn't selling at all, and had it mulched. Don't be mad at them for that, though ... most of it was crap, like the GH...

[/B] Could be. Could also be Lankhmar. DD sold something like 300,000 - 500,000 starter sets in its first 6 months. It was that popular. But the remaining inventory, as well as other bad decisions involving the game (like including dice from the first 4 core races in the first new race's...

The way I see it, if you are a large person and the depiction of similarly-shaped creatures as "monsters" offends you, perhaps you should skip on your next Big Mac and donate that money to a charity that feeds people who are actually starving . Try http://www.foodforall.org for an example of...

Compared to some of the names people stick to their kids, Arwen is pretty and refers to someone beautiful and timeless. My girlfriend told me about the twins who visited the rec center where she used to work: Lemongelo and Orangelo. When I was TSR's web guy, someone wrote in to see if it was...

A teenage minotaur, actually.

There's a problem with that. If you advance a monster according to the MM, it usually ends up weaker than if you gave it PC character classes. If you change the monster's MM advancement so it gains new powers, suddenly a monster advanced with this book is different (and more powerful, thus a...

That's only about 60 pages of the book (originally 10, but the core D&D team liked the idea so much that they had me do a bunch more ... fortunately they had also gotten the word from On High that more pages were being added to the book, so notihng had to be cut to make room for those...

There's also my "two-headed mutant" template.... http://www.seankreynolds.com/rpgfiles/monsters/two-headed-mutant.html

It would seem so, at least enough to release the book that was already written. Since the decision to release it came after I left WotC (at the time I was laid off, I think they had just decided to push back its release date rather than outright cancelling it), I'm not really an informed source...

Hardly. As someone who was disappointed with how Spellbound turned out, I pushed to make UE really cool. As with The Silver Marches, UE is a book where you can actually play characters native to the area(unlike Spellbound, which was mostly from a Dales/Western Heartlands perspective treated Ag...

It's more than just roleplaying as Ghosts. It can be used as a stand-alone setting, or inserted into an existing campaign. Playing a ghost is just part of it (and we're not talking MM ghosts), but the reasons why you can play a ghost are one of the cool things about the setting. "An undead...

It's the FR Survival Guide, and it's still on WotC's site: http://www.wizards.com/forgottenrealms/FR_Survival.asp

:: sigh :: Well, that's just strange. If you're that miffed about negative reviews, just do what the movie companies do: use ellipses to make a bad review sound like a good one! Most people won't know that the quote "Holy crap ... I can't believe it ... this book is great" comes from a review...

I really reccommend that y'all start with the writeups in the Living Greyhawk Gazetteer, as those are the official versions of the gods, and involved a lot of research by me to create, thankyouverymuch. :)

Well, the D&D iconics are designed to be sub-optimal. In other words, they're not tweaked to maximize power, because we don't expect every PC to be perfectly built. For example, Nebin (the iconic illusionist) has Skill Focus (Concentration) instead of just Combat Casting (which he picks up...

Yes, that is my point.
