1d4/1d8 instead of 1d6/1d0, someone said.

OK, thanks!

Actually, I was trolling.

. . .

Or... WAS I?

HAW HAW!

 

[Vanye]

OK, thanks!

FYI, that is correct; screaming is 1d4; burst is 1d8/2d8/3d8 (x2,x3,x4)

Bother
so my FLGS says that the book was shipped late, and will arrive next week, while the big chains got it first.
The Other LGS just said they would have it next week, but provided no further info.
Not enough for me to rethink my only buy gaming books from gaming stores poilcy, but still annoying.

I enjoy it so far.

It feels packed with info, obviously. First time I've seen the new magic item layouts - they feel like spell layouts to me all in all.

Augment crystals are cool, as are the set items.

I like the new way you use the charts for experienced characters; instead of X gp value, you get so many items of each level. If you're level 5, I think it's 2 lvl 5 items, and doubles each lower level.

Not quite doubles.

A straight 2 level-equivalent items per level.

So, 5th-level character: 5, 5, 4, 4, 3, 3, 2, 2, 1, 1

As well as guidelines for replacing multiple lower level items with a single higher level item and replacing a higher level item with multiple lower level items.

It's missing some stuff I was looking for

Anyone remmber a ranged weapon property called "Exit Wound" from the Complete Warrior? It basically allowed you to shoot through one target into another. I was disappointed to see they didn't carry that over, and then looking in CW, I see others that go left out too. So, the MIC is by no means as complete as I'd hoped.

I've ordered the book from Amazon as a result of this thread. *eagerly awaits*

About what percentage of the book would you say is entirely new, not reprinted from another source? And same question for the Spell Compendium.

Spell Compendium is more than 90 percent reprints, although the campaign setting-specific names have all been dropped, so a fair number have slightly different names.
