I heard that flumph-love was illegal in 37 states.

So how does the new layout look? Is there a lot of empty space?

NO! Jam Packed with Topiary-Lovin' Goodness!

What's with the dinosaur names? Did someone from battlebots or the wrestling federation sneak onto the Dinosaur Renaming Commission again?

They Breed Dinos in Eberron, apparently.

And they do a pretty darn good job of it, too...

 

[jeffers]

Any chance of some info on those two Rakshasas?

Ak'chazars (17HD White tigers)are necromancers, Naztharunes (11HD Black Tigers) are rogues.

Ooooh, thanks.

I like Rakshasas almost as much as Illithids and Kobolds(sigh, why can't we have more Kobolds?) so this is just great to see them expanded on. Interesting stuff too.

 

[Zulithe]

Wow ... the Rakshasas sounds very sweet.

And I agree about the lack of Brownie love

Out of curiosity:
What's the highest CR critter in the book?

What's with the dangerous fauna?

I think they add more flavour to the game. Those are names that folk might actually give dinosaurs; it'd be odd to hear a medieval peasant call them by the names we're used to, wouldn't it?

Not if that peasant spoke Latin

[Knight Otu]

So, they have changelings, shifters and warforged, but no kalashtar?

They have the lizardfolk variants cut from the ECS, but not the other cut monsters, it seems.

Flinds are back - another one from the ToH.

Highest CR?

The Greater Ssvaklor, an advanced Dragon/Yuan-ti crossbreed. He's mean,. he's green, he's CR 20.

Also, the Eldritch Giant Confessor, CR 20...

And the Ancient Night Twist, CR 20... a CR 20 TREE.

Plenty of Plant Love in this book.
