[QUOTE="Frilf, post: 835782, member: 2791"] What Sir Whiskers says is definitely true in most cases. There will be art - over 1/3 of the 60 templates will have an example creature illustrated. Our artists have really outdone themselves on this and I can't wait to get the feedback from the images. We will post an example or two on our website soon. There will be a POD version of BoTDE. However, purchasers of the original BoT will not be able to receive this version for the free upgrade price. They'll just get the PDF version. But, if you purchase the POD version, you've got both formats for just the cost of the POD. My co-author, Chris Sims, is working on the mechanical details and other game-related fineries as we speak. He's meticulous and very thorough, so I know the rules issues should be rock-solid. That would include info on double HD, etc. I'll post more later when I've had a chance to chat with him more. (Perhaps I'll direct him here). With regard to damage reduction, there will be a few 3.5 tidbits in the initial product. Those will be expanded on as more information becomes available to us (since we have no print products to-date, we are not a "real" publisher in the eyes of WotC. Therefore, no sneak peek at 3.5). However, from what we've heard from sources here and there, we have put some DR stuff in like DR X/bludgeoning, etc. Mostly, though, we're talking 3.0 rules - as Sir Whiskers pointed out. Free material will remain as a web-enhancement. It will be expanded, edited, and otherwise made to match the new look and "feel" of the BoT. Hope this helps! Ian [/QUOTE]
