FYI: SRD update today

[Psion]

I'd post this as a news item, but by the end of the day, it would have to be worded differently.

Per Andy Smith the SRD guy:

Late afternoon/early evening tomorrow (May 14) the SRD and MSRD will be updated as follows:

System Reference Document
NEW – Expanded Psionic content added
NEW - Divine ranks and powers rules added
ERRATA - See released errata documents for changes
Monster files – Some advanced monsters were added

Modern System Reference Document
NEW – Monsters from d20 Menace Manual added

Notes:
Epic level psionic material can be found with the Epic documents, not the psionic documents.

Whenever possible feats were replaced with the most recent versions (Draconomicon and Complete Warrior updated several epic feats).

The following Product Identity was removed from the psionic material:
Githyanki, Githzerai, Illithid, Mind Flayer, Thri-Kreen, Yuan-ti, Zouken, Ilsensine.

The Fist of Zouken PrC is now titled Psionic Fist
The Illithid Slayer PrC is now titled Slayer

The following Product Identity was removed from the Menace Manual material:
Fraal, Gardhyi, Kroath, N'sss, Sesheyan


The next update will be d20 Future sometime in August.

Thanks for the update, Psi!

I'll be able to work some of that material into the next revision of the SRD 3.5 Revised (Full) Bundle

Nice... Very nice.

 

[Sammael]

Very nice to see the updated Epic feats from Draconomicon and CW make it into the SRD.

Thanks Psion. Onto the newspage this goes...

 

[Alzrius]

YES! *Joygasm*

At long last they've finally added in the D&Dg material! And of course, the editing and errata being incorporated is a godsend, to say nothing of the expanded psionic content! It's great to see that material being updated in other books (such as Draconomicon and Complete Warrior) is being added to the SRD!

That said, any idea what me means by "some advanced monsters were added"? What exactly does he mean by "advanced monster"? Is that supposed to be the example monsters where they had added hit dice, class levels, and/or templates?

the suped up MM advanced fiendish basilisk, super sized black pudding etc. the dread wraith was SRD already because it is the 'Death" of the SRD "Deck of many things"

 

[Ashardalon]

Yay!

Whenever possible feats were replaced with the most recent versions (Draconomicon and Complete Warrior updated several epic feats).

A good thing. Of course, it would have been better if it had been so from the start.

The Illithid Slayer PrC is now titled Slayer

I suppose it will look similar to the current SRD version.

The following Product Identity was removed from the Menace Manual material:
Fraal, Gardhyi, Kroath, N'sss, Sesheyan

To bad these guys have to go from the MSRD.
