Doc Awk beat me to it, but yeah...

that dreadfully ugly Mialee.

Um... as oppposed to what, exactly?

 

[Gez]

Are you suggesting that there have been good pictures of Mialee?

The cover from Tome & Blood.

Normally ugly Mialee. Dreadfully ugly is worse.

Am I the only one seeing a tiny hint of "Exalted creep" in the artwork for this aasimar's shield? That thing is the size of a car's hood.

I LOVE that picture. It's just awesome!

Does anyone know what (if any) player character races complete we'll see in the Planar Handbook? Will this book reclaim planetouched aasimar, tieflings and genasi for the planes? Will we see previously published planetouched races from the MM2 (i.e. chaond) and the FF (i.e. shyft) in all their statted out, ready-for-level-advancement glory?

Maybe. There was no new art commissioned for them, but that doesn't say they aren't there.

I will have to give this one a look when it comes out? Does anyone know if it will support cosmologies besides the traditional Great Wheel?

Probably not.

Very disappointing, thus far. I had hoped for planar goodness, but what do we get? Second rate bladelings as a PC race, misplaced Doomguard citadels, and art that is only 2 % good at maximum ...

Still looking forward to the Sigil part, but I honestly don't know if I'm gonna pick it up after all this ... the wallpapers were a real downer, too.

Uhhh...wasn't Energon the stuff that Transformers ate in the cartoon?
