[QUOTE="Pants, post: 3246219, member: 8849"] Haven't read through it all yet. First impressions: Not a big fan of the converted monsters. The amnizu, in particular, feels decidedly 'unfinished.' Its regeneration is not given a detailed description, its SLA's have been pared down A LOT. I'm all for streamlining and cutting out redundant (or useless) SLA's, but this kinda went too far. The updated abishai are good though they still got gipped with a crummy picture (seems to be a recurring trend throughout editions). :) The Narzugon lost its cool gaze attack. The xerfilstyx, in particular, lost some of its cooler (albeit fairly annoying to deal with) abilities. The writeup on the River Styx mentions that the memory loss isn't permanent. I always thought it was, but I may be wrong. The table for devil advancement fails to mention where some of the new devils fit into the advancement. I'm not sure if this was intentional having just flipped through the chapter, but it's worth noting if other people want to correct me. The Pact Primeval part is kinda blah, but if viewed primarily as JUST baatorian propaganda it's actually kinda cool then. :) The part on devilish pacts is pretty cool. The overall flavor text is really good, especially the writeups on the layers of Hell. The malebranche and nupperibo pictures are fantastic! Bel looks much cooler now too. Otoh, Levistus has the worst picture evar. No Ancient Baatorians :( Just first impressions, more thoughts as I delve deeper. [/QUOTE]
