[QUOTE="seankreynolds, post: 151671, member: 3029"] As am I. Erik did excellent work on this book and I'm glad we were able to get him to work on it. I was the developer on the book, which meant that I synched up stuff with other books*, double-checked the new rules for balance and playability, and figured out what parts of the book needed extra playtesting. I think everyone who plays FR is going to want this book, and even people who aren't into FR might want to pick it up for the prestige classes and lootability of some of the other deities in the book. *Note: I didn't handle the "god stats" part of the book." That was handled by Penny Williams, who also edited Deities & Demigods, and she worked hard to make that stuff work with the DDG rules (a necessary step, as the draft of the DDG that Erik and Eric used went through some changes before reaching its current version, so the F&P text relating to that had to be updated to account for the changes). Penny talked to me a lot about various FR-related issues so she could best address the "god stats" of the deities--questions like these: "Deity X needs 20 more class levels. What classes would be best for that?" "Deity X has blackguard levels. What sort of fiendish servant should he have?" "Deity X has levels in wizard. What would be a good familiar for him?" "Deity X has 15 ranger levels. What favored enemies should she have?" And so on. Anyway, it's a kickass book from a rules standpoint, from an FR standpoint, and from an art standpoint. I'm really proud that my name is in the book (even if it's not on the cover, ::sniff, sniff::). [/QUOTE]
