[QUOTE="ForeverSlayer, post: 5225033, member: 91812"] The other day I sat down with the Tiefling's Handbook and I wanted to read up on the tiefling empire Bael Turath and learn all I can about it because I have an upcoming campaign planned. It will be an all Tiefling Campaign where each tiefling in the group has the blood of a ruling house and will eventually raise Bael Turath from the ashes of destruction. Well I sit down and I start reading, the more I read the more interested I am getting and the more excited I get. I don't know if it was the Forgotten Realms that spoiled me, but the Tiefling Handbook left me hanging. It was essentially reading the back of a novel that you are thinking about buying only to find out that there are no pages inside. I guess this is a rant, but I am getting a little tired of the "come up with the rest yourself" theme that 4th edition as taken on. Sure I like to come up with my own stuff, but there are times when I like to take what a great author has envisioned and take that and sometimes change it around to fit a personal agenda, or to sometimes use it as is. When I first heard about Tieflings having an empire and such I was a bit disappointed because I was use to the old school Tieflings that were rare and no two tieflings were alike. But as I started reading about them I was really astounded at how cool they were. I feel like I have been a little cheated because I pay all this money for the books, but I continue to be left hanging due to the lack of fluff. What is your opinion? [/QUOTE]
