We recently found the time to add it in for other races as well. I know dwarven and gnimish elven chain is silly - but we got so many requests for other races they wold not leave us alone until we did it all - so we did: [IMG]http://nwvault.ign.com/Files/transfer/pictures/HAKPACKS_DLA%20Team1096077398250echainsize2.jpg[/IMG] There is a lot of artwork which TSR/WotC has done over the years which is impressive.
