[QUOTE="Mouseferatu, post: 1810309, member: 1288"] Not annoying at all. I'm glad you're psyched. :) Without going into too much detail--gotta leave [i]some[/i] surprises for the books ;)--we've got a range of new creatures. Some are brand new, some are inspired by Egyptian mythology. And some sound familiar by name, but are totally different than what you've seen before. (Let's just say that the Great Sphinxes of Khemti are nothing like the wimpy kitty-cats in the Monster Manual. ;)) Curses and tombs are discussed, as relates to the culture. So are social castes. I can't say for certain how much space is devoted to laws and punishment. High or low magic? That's an interesting question. In terms of mechanics--treasure tables, that sort of thing--it's not changed from the norm. Culturally, however, Khemtians believe magic to be prevalent, and many wear protective charms or amulets that may or may not have any real power. The hand of the gods is seen in most of daily life, and most magic has at least something of a religious connotation. (The standard arcane/divine dichotomy has been replaced with something a tad more complex, and more appropriate in feel to the setting.) [/QUOTE]
