They can smite at range with bows, get another sort of aura (freedom) and can get a unicorn as special mount (which lags behind on hd advancement and such)Elf ranger: Gets only d6, but 8+ skills, gets better bonuses for favoured enemies when choosing the racial enemies. Can get an elven hound companion (magical beast, but treated as animal for ranger abilities) and can exchange the favoured enemy on level 10 for special bonuses against drow/drider spells and spider poison.Elf Wizard: Gan "specialize" as generalist - one extra free spell per level, and one extra spell slot of the highest level. Can double the familiar skill bonus (move silently for cat) in exchange for deliver touch and speak with other animals, and has a different set of bonus feats on level 5 (archery related)There are 3 psionic powers, so the support is more or less on the level of the other books (though no psionic PrC this time)Of the minor races, we already know the centaur and gnoll. The catfolk is reprinted from Miniatures (I don't know whether they got changed from there), so the only new minor race is killoren. This means, surprisingly, that we do not get any elven sub-races.The Killoren look kinda interesting, as you can change the racial package every morning (with the different aspects) to gain different skill bonuses (or the smite nature's enemies feature for aspect of the destroyer)The racial chapters (describing the races) are more or less equally large (elves 5-36, halflings 37-63, raptorans 65-90). The feats, PrC's and the like seem to be balanced, too</blockquote>Besides centaurs, gnolls, catfolk and killoren, what other "minor" races are present?[/QUOTE]Only those 4No real monsters here, but 4 creatures (mostly animals):Braxashulty: Goatlike creatures the halflings bred as beasts of burden, guard animal, and food source.Chordevoc: owl-like bird, also bred by halflingsDire Hawk: Well, a dire hawk, often animal companion for raptoransElven Hound: Magal beast - practically a dog with the typical elven resistances and immunities.There's at least one feat for each of the minor races, and several for the major races (raptorans get a lot of flight-related feats). Beyond that, we have feats that deal with nature-related characters (druids, rangers) and archers. It even contains 3 tactical feats (one for small creatures, one for flying creatures, one for archers)Arcane Hierophant (Arcanist/Druid)Champion of Corellon Larethian (For elf warriors with high dex and int in heavy armor)Luckstealer (halfling spellcaster with luck-related abilities)Ruathar (elf-friend/star-friend: character who did the elves a great service and receives elven blessings. Only 3 levels)Skypledged (raptoran priest with aerial abilities and divine spellpool)Stormtalon (raptoran aerial warrior)Whisperknive (halfling rogue and vengeance taker)Wildrunner (elf or half-elf completely embracing nature, becomes fey in the end)[/QUOTE]
