[QUOTE="Shade, post: 3150153, member: 287"] Whew! Thanks for allaying my fears a bit. ;) I can agree with that. The avatars of elemental evil and balhannoth fit the bill nicely on this account. The varag, on the other hand, suffers from "just another goblinoid" syndrome. Good to know. Thanks for clarifying. :) The problem is the signal-to-noise ratio makes it easy to ignore the good stuff. I do think there are some real gems in there (the vitreous drinker, balhannoth, avatars of elemental evil, and a few others) but even discounting the classed humanoids and dragonspawn, many of the remaining creatures either aren't that interesting (varag, yet more spiders, "treants lite"), have mechanical problems (deathdrinker, nashrou), or don't really fit their niche (corruptors of fate) that the book can be largely ignored, IMO. Noted. I apologize if I got the wrong impression and gave anyone else similar ideas. [/QUOTE]
