Now, not only have we brought back this out of print rulebook, but expanded it with over 80 pages of material not available in the previous edition, including all five hobgoblin subraces, tons of new information on the variant classes, the new watchman class and 43 unique domains, plus new skills, feats, weapons, armor, equipment, career paths, spells, and more!

Also, unlike the original Kingdoms of Kalamar Player’s Guide (v3.0), the Player’s Guide to the Sovereign Lands (v3.5) PDF contains no material reprinted from other Wizards of the Coast D&D products!

------------------
Chapter One details 28 player character races, including a variety of humans, dwarves, elves, gnomes, half-elves, half-hobgoblins, half-orcs, halflings and hobgoblins! Also included are details on languages, naming conventions and other vital statistics.

Chapter Two discusses the 7 variant classes, introducing the Basiran dancer, brigand, gladiator, infiltrator, shaman, spellsinger and watchman. This chapter also provides pages of new and helpful advice on making, playing and adapting each of these variant classes, as well as detailing daily life, organizations, sample encounters and more!

Chapter Three presents 11 prestige classes, including the Alliance merchant, bounty hunter, dread slaver, golem master, living blade of Kotesh, muse, restorer, Sentinel of Providence, Vessel of Man, warlord and wavemaster.

Chapter Four details a multitude of new Craft, Knowledge, Profession, and Speak Language skills, as well as new uses for existing skills and a variant language skill system!

Chapter Five includes over 100 feats, including not only general feats, but also familiar, item creation, metamagic, psionic, regional and special feats!

Chapter Six provides immense background for your character’s religion, with names, alignments, churches, favored weapons, symbols, and divine focuses! Also included are full details on religious canons, information on advancing within the ranks of the church, weapons of the deities, the divine right of kings, a wide variety of divine channeling powers, and more!

Chapter Seven presents equipment, including alchemical mixtures, clothing, herbal concoctions, poisons, slaves (a common sight in some areas of Tellene), tools and related gear, 20 weapons, 8 types of ammunition, 13 armors, and a discussion of the coinage of Tellene!

Chapter Eight covers combat, with information on 3 fighting schools, 9 career paths (with feat progressions), and 4 combat options (kick, shield disarm, throw, and unbalance)!

Chapter Nine discusses adventuring in the Sovereign Lands, with an overview of the six major regions, their kingdoms, independent cities and known adventure locations. Also included are guides to travelling the roads and waterways of Tellene, as well as hiring transportation and purchasing lodging. This section also delves into common diseases and how to handle player character nobility in each land.

Chapter Ten details 43 unique domains, over 125 spells, the scalable spell type, and discusses how the arcane spellcasters of the Sovereign Lands differ from those in other core D&D books.

Chapter Eleven presents dozens of new magic items, including 18 magic armors and weapons (along with 12 new special abilities), plus over a dozen rings, rods, and staves, with 36 wondrous items and 6 cursed items, plus 4 artifacts!

The Appendices cover the glossary, d10,000 place of origin tables for each race, and a player character record sheet designed especially for your Kingdoms of Kalamar character!

:cool: Any chance of this getting the hardback treatment?

Afraid not. It seemed to us that, while there was still demand for the KoK Player's Guide, it wasn't at a level that would support a physical reprinting of the books. Instead of just re-issuing the old 3.0 version, however, we took the opportunity to update it to the 3.5 rules, address any errata, and add substantial new material to meet and exceed any text we removed.
 



Right. (Hey Crothian, did you get my email?)

The 3.0 print version of the Kingdoms of Kalamar Player's Guide was released in 2002.

The campaign setting itself was released in 1994, then released with new material in 2001 as an officially-sanctioned D&D campaign setting (Wizards approves all art and text).

The new 3.5 Player's Guide to the Sovereign Lands is the 3.0 Player's Guide with all WotC-reprinted material removed, and expanded with 80+ pages of material not available in the 3.0 version.
