In 2e, I recall a necromantic spell that inflicted damage on the target (hit points? energy drain) and gave the caster a boost in temporary hit points. Does anyone know of a 3e equivalent (published by WoTC)? I'm thinking of a combined enervation/aid (self only) spell or something like that...

I believe, in 2e, there were one or more spells that would both drain hit points / energy levels from a target and boost the caster with temporary hit points. I can't recall the names however. Does such a spell exist in 3e or 3.5e (more specifically in a WoTC product)? I'd be most interested in...

The Abbey of the Sword has been detailed most recently in Faiths & Pantheons. If you are looking for a quest to accompany the granting of the true resurrection, I might suggest having the PCs follow the Trail of Tears (http://www.wizards.com/dnd/article.asp?x=fr/pg20011226x), which passes...

Maybe. Tom and I would like to do one, but no promises. We've got a list of another 200 or so FR-related monsters that haven't been updated yet. We'd also like to update Volume 1 to 3.5e, but again, no promises. --Eric

While I appreciate the plug, I would like to point out that Tom Costa did much, if not most, of the work. --Eric

Everything else was updates from old WoTC products. (Many animals came from the old FR MC compendiums.) We were unclear whether we could make them OGL or not, so we erred on the side of caution. --Eric

"Serpent Kingdoms" is a Forgotten Realms source book due out next year. It was discussed at GenCon, but I don't recall any mention of it appearing on ENWorld. You can find some discussion here: http://oracle.wizards.com/archives/realms-l.html (see July, Weeks 4 & 5). --Eric

Fine by both Tom and I. <<< I looked through it and it appears wizards gave you permission to do this though i'm not sure. >>> Wizards had nothing to do with it. We tried to follow the rules for fan-produced 3e updates of existing products, following the rules as we understood them and the...

<<< Did you and tom decide to do this because wizards didng want to but out another monsters of faerun book? >>> Nope. This is completely a "fan-thing". We both like the Realms. We both ended up converting a lot of monsters for various reasons, including our own campaigns. We were pretty close...

Tom Costa and I put together a PDF of 101 monsters of the Realms. Most are updates from 1e or 2e to 3e. You can take a look by going to http://www.ericlboyd.com/dnd and clicking on Realmslore and then on Monsters. We welcome feedback and comments. --Eric

Arguably githerzai should show up anywhere the githyanki show up ... If that's true, then the fact there's a bunch of githyanki and 3 red dragons in one of the fallen subkingdoms of Shanatar (beneath the mountains east of Amn/Tethyr) means that some githerzai might show up in the region in...

During the Time of Troubles, Lathander, god of creativity was cooking up D&D2e. ;-) --Eric

Garagos is the current form of the old Netherse war god Targus. He was defeated by Tempus (the current god of war, only known member of the long-vanished Talfirc pantheon). Garagos's portfolio has declined from "war" to the savage bloodlust aspect of war. He's the perfect god for a blood-crazed...

"Specialty Priests in 3e I'm really glad that specialty priests came along in AD&D2. While many of them were "broken" (including some of the ones I wrote I'll freely admit), I think they really opened up the cleric class as interesting to roleplay. However, in 3e, I think "specialty priests"...
