[QUOTE="Primitive Screwhead, post: 2907540, member: 20805"] This is what happens when I start posting and take time to look up/research stuff mid-post :) RC:.. you should.. EOM is awesome. As to the templates, I do not have any of those books..and my current 'next buy fund' is going to either Iron Heroes or Complete Arcane.. or the new Eberron book :) Nifft:..
