[QUOTE="Tzarevitch, post: 4000075, member: 1792"] Among other things I notices in the book, it seems that ogre magi have are again referred to as "Oni" like the 1e monster manual (where they were sometimes referred to as "Oni" or "Japanese Ogres"). There is a picture of an ogre mage toward the back with the caption "oni". I guess this is to differentiate an ogre mage from an ogre who is a mage or differentiate them from ogres in general. I like the return of the Formorians to their celtic roots. They are the most powerful of the fomor races of the Feywyde (not clarified in the book). They are also now are not giants, they are just giant-sized fey of undisclosed type. They each have an oversized "evil eye" that affords them great power and causes them pain and trouble. The gnomes may or may not have been their servants once (as of print time it doesn't seem like they decided), but they are served by evil fey and cyclopses. The book also mentions to beware the fey. Sprites are not the cute, cuddly diminutive elves from previous editions. They are like flying pirhana if pissed off. They will literally flay the skin from your bones. :D Tzarevitch [/QUOTE]
