Alas, elves don't lose their hear, so they can't become baldesingers...

Now this is the kind of post I wanna see when I first get up in the morning.

Thanks for the heads up ArthurQ!

This book looks like it is going to be sweeeeet!!!! Sure, it's got a lot of reprinted stuff, but it's got enough new stuff to make it interesting. Besides, if you're like me and don't have Magic of Faerun, Faiths of Faerun, Lords of Darkness, etc. , it's a real bargain.

The saddest part of gaming, is when you grow jaded. I can't find ANYTHING on that list to interest me - even the fire knives stuff! All it is that I can see - unless I'm missing something - is 3.5 "tweaked" material from previous books.

Admittedly, it should come as little surprise, but I had hoped for a little more.

Ah, well - time to wait for Lone Wolf d20!

And again, thanks Arthur for the scoop! Has anyone submitted this to the front page yet?

I said that very same thing when Races and East came out and then I was impressed every time. So now I don't bother with that notion.

I just hope that the Psionic stuff is seemless with the 3.5 updated book. However it only seems to contain a single PrC... Which in all likelihood will be reprinted in the PsiHB 3.5... yippeee...or something.

Guess I'm like Henry. Jaded. This whole revision thing, I dunno...

 

[Krug]

nice to know that they're providing psionics, epic and vile support.

 

[Simulacrum]

The Spellcasting Prodigy feat is broken with 3.5 rules.

The new SP feat will be the same exept that it ONLY gives you bonus spells, nothing else. (The DC doesnt go up and you dont get any other benefit of the INT enhancement too)

I'm happy for a few of the PRC's, but I fear they will suck.
I hope the Zhentarim Spy will be as bad ass my own Zhentarim Spy PrC:

this is not the latest version but it's about what I expect. It should be ranger oriented and less whimpy and rogueish so that it can be used as BBEG....

 

[Arnwyn]

Wow. Loads of regurgitation, and only a few new things (though what is new looks good).

A definite no-buy for me... I can only handle so much regurgitation.

 

[Knight Otu]

Interesting list. Let's see what we can squeeze out of it...

Sidebar: Why Regions Changed xx

Hmm.... how could they be changed? Anyone got an idea?

Axethrower xx
Blooded xx
Dauntless xx
Discipline xx
Dreadful Wrath xx
Fearless xx
Forgeheart xx
Furious Charge xx
Knifefighter xx
Magic in the Blood xx
Magical Training xx
Otherworldly xx
Portal Master xx
Spellwise xx
Stormheart xx
Swift and Silent xx
Tireless xx

I believe these feats are new....

Evereskan Tomb Guardian xx
Eye of Horus-Re xx
Hammer of Moradin xx
Justiciar of Tyr xx
Master Transmogrifist xx
Monk of the Long Death xx
Morninglord of Lathander xx
Shadow Thief of Amn xx
Shaaryan Hunter xx
Spellguard of Silverymoon xx

... and these PrCs

Deity-Specific Spells and Initiate Feats xx

Sounds like more customization options for clerics of different gods.

Dread xx
Flameskull xx
Gorynych xx
Ixzan xx
Metalmaster xx
Nightshade, Nighthaunt xx
Velvet Worm, Giant xx

These monsters seem to be new, though I'm unsure about the dread?

Karsus’s Avatar xx

Holy!.....

Chapter 8: The Cosmology of Toril xx

Nice!

Chapter 7: Epic Levels in Faerûn xx
Chapter 10: Psionics, Exalted Deeds, and Vile Darkness xx

Good to see that they offer these options for GMs and players wanting to use those books.

Appendix: Monster Update xx
FORGOTTEN REALMS Campaign Setting Monsters xx
Monstrous Compendium: Monsters of Faerûn Monsters xx

That will propably be something like the update booklet. To bad they don't offer it for free.

Overall, seems like there is enough new material to tempt someone to purchase the book. The main focus however is the R3E update, but that is what the book was written for anyway. It is obviously not a book for those who dislike the revisions.
