[QUOTE="Upper_Krust, post: 4037670, member: 326"] Hey guys! :) I got Worlds & Monsters in the post yesterday. Already read it. Some thoughts: The world art is totally gorgeous. Levistus (Archduke of Hell) may be in the Monster Manual along with Orcus. The Atropal may be in the Monster Manual, which suggests at least some abominations are Level 30 or less (which was what I was working to anyway...been seperating them into Lesser Abominations and Greater Abominations). Regarding the new Dimensional setup, I really like the changes. The multiple infinite planes of the great wheel were just too confusing. Having divine realms continent/world size is a lot more workable (and closer to what I assumed where the sizes anyway). How does that parallel the IH Kosmology. Entropy = Shadowfell Prime = World Old Transitive = Feywild Elemental = Elemental Chaos Spirit = Astral Plane (new) Far Place = Far Realm So pretty straightforward. Higher Dimensions untouched of course. The changes to monsters I am all in favour of, in fact my design ethos for the Bestiary was almost exactly that of 4E (except I still added all the 3E excess baggage like dozens of spell-like abilities and so forth). Absolutely loving the changes to Angels, can't wait to add my own twist to IH Angels. Great that they are now potential villains. Asmodeus as a god...always was as far as I was concerned. Interesting to see how powerful Orcus is in the Monster Manual. I can't see him beyond Level 30 solo Brute (Leader), and I still need to learn more about the relationship between minion/standard/elite/solo to better gauge things. Intrigued to see the difference between a Level 26 Elite (such as the Pit Fiend) and a Level 30 solo monster such as (potentially) Orcus. Aberrations as natives of the Far Realm. Already suggested it in the Bestiary. Fomorians as the rulers of the Feywild is also very interesting, recently bought myself the Slaine: Book of Inavsions (Volumes 1-3) Graphic Novels. Lots of great ideas for epic campaigns in there, where the Fomors are the main antagonists. Anyone else own it or have any thoughts on the above? [/QUOTE]
