Sorry for the delay, had a day off.

Well besides the Mystara specific languages (which we should add to the in Mystara section) - Nithian and Neathar plus possibly Lupin (the other Mystaran canine based humanoid) how about Draconic and Elf (as they are interested in magic), Goblin (well they get gnoll and orc). Other humanoid languages?

As for the shaman and wokani they were the monster equivalents to cleric and magic-user (wizard) respectively. The classes weren't as powerful as the PC classes (probably closer tp the adept) but I suggest that we use the standard classes and use titles such as priest and magician.

Given that their language is a haunting, complex musical language in fluting, honeyed tones how about using 'choir' instead of 'sect' or 'band'.

I'm fine with Craft (any), or possibly Craft or Profession (any)?

Mortis

sounds good to me.

Yup!

One thing relating to the reference 'Duchy of Karameikos'. It might be better to just refer to it as Karameikos, because during the Wrath of the Immortals war, Duke Stefan declares Karameikos independent of the Thyatian Empire and crowns himself King Stefan and, as such, Karameikos becomes a kingdom. IIRC it happens around AC1007-8.

that works for me.

shade, any comments on the last 3 or 4 posts?

I defer to the wisdom of the dread Mortis. (How do I pick up the dread template?)

"dread" just seems to fit with "mortis" well.

OK, updated again. take one last look, and if you see anything else that needs addressing let me know.

do you want to come up with an extra stat block for clerics and/or experts?

Looks done to me.

I don't think we really need them. However, if we were to do a cleric I would suggest, that instead of the 2nd-level cleris given in the sources, we stat up one of the leader types.

Nope. I think we're done here.
