Dragon 333 has arrived!

[kilamanjaro]

and it looks like another great issue. I just got home so I haven't read anything but the comics and sage advice, but this issue features:
Demonomicon Fraz-Urb'Luu by James Jacobs;
Noble Born by Keith Baker
Relics of the Realms by George Swan
Ecology of the Behir by Eric Cagle,
and Worm Food, an Age of Worms tie in.
To me the big news is in a brief blurb about the new Angelfire minis, there's no pictures but the article confirms the appearance of the Chain Devil and the Trumpet Archon in this set.
Next month's issue has:
Cities of the Realms - Crimmor, by Ed Greenwood
The Fires of Alchemy by Paul Leach
Monsters of Arabia by Wolfgang Baur
and part two of Worm Food

Are the Ecology articles going to go on, for each major monster? I hope so.

Next month is the Ecology of the Kraken.

How're the Class Acts?

Okay I must know:

Need a DETAILED description on the article detailing our Frazzy!

The Age of Worms tie in is what has my interest peaked.

Erik, the bastage, has finally found a way to make me buy Dragon.

Class acts are always a mixed bag for me.
Barbarian has 3 new feats to customize where your barb came from, artic, plains, or underground
Bard is for temple bards, one new feat
Cleric is a variant cleric called the rage cleric, sort of a barbarian cleric
Druid is advice on a mounted druid
Fighters is called cultured combatants 1, 4 fighter feats that use the perform skill
Monks is city based monks, 1 feat
Paladin is a run through of which spells are best for the paladin and why
Ranger is about finding resources in the wild
Rogue is a new organization (the Unseen Sisters)
Sorceror is a new type of magic item called a Know Stone. Know Stones hold spells that the sorceror may cast as if he knew the spell, as long as he wears the stone. Pretty neat idea.
Wizard is flaws for wizards
I'm in the middle of the Fraz-Urb'Luu article right now. I'm liking it at least as much as the Pazuzu one. Fraz is stated out as CR28, his Aspect is CR10. The Thrall of Fraz prestige class looks like a good warlock or bard prestige class. A new (to me) demon, the Skurchut is also presented and Fraz's realm, cults, and plots are fully detailed.

I haven't made it to Worm Food yet, but it looks like it details the abandoned mine office that is suggested as a HQ for the adventurers in the Whispering Cairn.
