Are you going to be posting any more interesting tipbits?

I still haven't read through the module, only skimmed it. I will post more when I find something more than just a spoiler.

We can promote you to "Legendary game store owner" with all the information you provided us

There really isn't a lot of new material other than the characters (who have been posted in full elsewhere) and the module itself (which would be very spoilery). The only think I know of that isn't with these two is a more comprehensive Conditions List and skill descriptions.

There you go.
Don't know why it's Bloodied erruption is called "bloodied" when it's "dead" at the time, but oh well.

The blue slime starts underwater in a dark flooded cave and presumably surprises the party. [/SBLOCK]

Yay!. Quite happy to see that since I made one of those a while back.


I was hoping for low level slimes in 4E. Now I pray there will be smaller minion slimes as well. {Glass beads are so easy to come by]

Hey Fitz, Thalmin!

[sblock]What are the Corruption Corpses? Are those the 'throw diseased, rotting hunks of flesh' zombies? Or the 'reanimate zombie friends'? Or are they just dead politicians?[/sblock]

 

[thalmin]

Kind of the former, but cooler more interesting. 'Nuff said.

I am tempted to have minion slimes to come off of ordinary slimes during combat as the slime is attacked.

So I've looked over the D&DXP and Shadowfell characters and boy is there <puts on Ricky Ricardo's voice> "a lot of explaining to do." The fighters have seemingly different trained skill totals, the elf half a seemingly missing "multiclass" racial trait, among others. I thought I had a good (if incomplete) grasp of racial and class design from the D&DXP characters and excerpts, but there are a few things in these Shadowfell characters which make it a bit tougher to guage the race and class balance.

Don't. The XP characters were made before the rules were finalized and we know that the Keep ones might have been shortened for space. They are pregen characters for using in the preview game, wait till you have the PHB before you try to determine relative power or whatever.
