[Scarred Lands] I need more Slitheren!

[chatdemon]

Okay, I've got CC1, CC2 and Vigil Watch: Warrens of the Ratmen. I'm wondering if any of the other Scarred Lands products to date have any additional material on the Ratmen. I'm not a huge fan of the setting actually, sticking with Greyhawk and the homebrew I'm working on, but I love them ratmen! Anyone have any suggestions on books I should pick up?

Any of the Warhammer products on Skaven would be a good idea

 

[chatdemon]

Ah yes, I do have the Warhammer Armies: Skaven book, though I honestly haven't read it yet. I bought it solely on the basis that the art is fantastic and I was looking for some pointers on painting my skaven horde.

Any other Warhammer books worth looking into for Skaven goodness?

 

[Krug]

Alderac's Way of the Ratling for L5R? Never read it but it might have cool martial art feats for your Ratmen.

Skavenslayer is a good book form the Warhammer world. Anything on the skaven is classic. AEG:Merc's has a ratling race in there that might work.

As one skaven lover to another anything you find let me know!

 

[Nightfall]

Only one new subtype, I'm aware of, Hollowfaust has Fire Spitters (a varient subrace of Daywalkers.)

Maybe in CCIII there might be more Ratmen...but hard to say.

 

[Nightfall]

Chat, maybe I'll make two more for you. Give me time.

Excellent! And even better, one of my players has Hallowfaust! The Fire-Spitters look perfectly nasty to add to my ratling hordes.

I also found, while perusing the SL collection of that player (who i summoned this evening), I found a couple more bits:

Severin (fighter/rogue NPC) in Wise and the Wicked. Interesting guy, I might adapt him to my Greyhawk game.

Hassek Ruukbrood (ranger NPC) the bounty hunter, also in Wise and the Wicked. This guy's nasty, i'll definitely use him.

P'kouro'nk (rogue NPC), again with the WatW. This one's a bit odd, but interesting, involved in some weird prophecy or such iirc.

A few other related items I found in delving into our combined collections of 3e/d20 material:

Jacqueline Renier, Wererat Darklord of Richemulot (In Ravenloft). I've already adapted her to my campaign, she's great. Evil to the core, but loyal to her rodent kin. Fun. (see Secrets of the Dread Realms for her stats and complete bio)

Green Ronin's Shaman's Handbook has some great material on Sneer, the Spirit Lord of Rats, as well as details on the shamans who serve him. If, like me, you're using the ratmen and their kin outside of Scarred Lands, he makes an excellent patron for them to serve and form a religion around.

Thanks for the input everyone!

Oh yeah Goodman Game's The Complete Guide to Wererats, written by Keith Baker, winner of the WotC setting contest. You might find stuff in there.
