[QUOTE="pawsplay, post: 5475717, member: 15538"] Why are you assuming I am being absolutely literal and not looking at the spirit of the statement? i wasn't being argumentative, I was expressing the absolutely least disagreement necessary. But I am disagreeing; the statement is just wrong, wrong, wrong. Greyhawk and Mystara have somewhat similar sets of monsters, but they are not mostly overlapping; if you throw 4e into the mix, forget about it. Mystara has no drow. It has no mind flayers. Originally, it had neither half-elves nor half-orcs. It has no tieflings. It has no devils. Gnomes are small dwarves. Kobolds are small dog-like goblinoids. It has an entirely different set of advanced undead, including Haunts and Spirits. It has shadow elves, faceless mujinas, tarantella spiders, cyclops, feline rakasta, and swamp-dewlling kopru. There is only one kind of metallic dragon (gold), which breathes fire and poison gas. It has manscorpions, the weird Horde of the plane of Earth, and fiery helions. Shadows are not undead. Gargoyles are constructs. There is such a thing as a Frost Salamander. Drakes are shapechanging dragonkin. [/QUOTE]
