Twin Peeks: Races of Faerun and Arms & Equipment Guide

I don't really understand the question. The Elven High Mage PrC is an epic-level class (it looks to me like you'd have to be 22nd level to get in at minimum). Does that answer your question?

That's part of it; The other half is "Do they get new powers that no one else gets in D&D, and will it kill them if they use it?"

Oh: Was that 22nd level caster?

Thanks!

You need 25 ranks in Spellcraft and Kn: Arcana, so that translate to a minimum of 22nd level, right? That's all I remember (I am not with the book at the moment).

As to the former question -- I have no idea what you're talking about.

Re: Re

Races of Faerun sounds like a great book. I'll definitely be picking it up.

Probably going to wait on the Arms and Equipment Guide. It doesn't sound particularly compelling.

Thanks for the info Eric.

I agree with this entire quote wholeheartedly. A&EG doesn't have anything new for me (already re-did all the missing 2e weapons for 3e a while back, and already have the vehicle rules from Dragon), while I'll get RoF for my long-running FR campaign.

And thanks for answering questions, Eric (though hopefully you consider it a small price to pay for the free schwag!).

Corran - Sorry I'm responding a whole page later, but I just now saw your question. I've written several other things for Mongoose. The Mini-Slayer's Guide to Winter Wolves is a PDF, written when Mongoose wanted to "test the PDF waters" with a shorter work, using a monster that wouldn't warrant a full-sized Slayer's Guide. Encyclopaedia Arcane: Crossbreeding comes out this month, and covers creating new monsters out of various pre-existing creatures. (Now you too can whip up an owlbear from scratch - or create just about anything else you can imagine, for that matter.) I've also written two other full-size Slayer's Guides that will probably be released as PDFs rather than printed products (much like The Slayer's Guide to Krakens, which was just released recently - that's not one of mine, though).

Finally, Ozzie the osquip's statistics appeared in Dragon #282 in the "Rogues Gallery: Monster Hunters Association" article. (He's a sidebar in Buntleby's entry.) I'm willing to bet that the new osquip stats will be somewhat different than Ozzie's current stats, though.

Thanks for the info, Eric.

I'll admit I'm more interested in the A&EG than in the RoF, but that's probably because I tend towards the more "mundane" end of the D&D spectrum.

I'd be curious to know if the new weapon stats in the A&EG are exactly the same as the (errata'ed) versions from SaF and/or OA, or whether any of them have been modified. For instance, I was somewhat disappointed that the butterfly swords in OA didn't grant a small disarm bonus, as they should.

However, you don't have to answer this issue, Eric, since I'm going to be picking the book up anyway.

*paint a question in red so that it is more eye-catching*

What is the spellsinger like ? Does it looks like the Magic of Faerûn spelldancer, or is it more like the 2e FR wizard kit of the same name (spellsinger); i.e., know all spells but takes forever to cast them ?

I don't know, I'm away from my books right now. I'll try to come back and answer your question later on.

Feh. What I find annoying with programs like that, it's that they get the books loooonnnnnng before any of the LGS around... Here, WotC and SSS stuff may be taken from the stores about 2-3 months after every US gamer has already posted a review of it on the net; and other d20 publisher products may be obtained about 3-4 months after having ordered them.

Hm.. we have a lag here, too, but amazon.de isn't that bad, and usually has the books long before many of the RPG- and Comic Shops have them. Maybe amazon.fr is equally fast in that matter (can't think why not). Also, there are always some online-shops around that are both cheap and fast. I think a little asking around and some research on the net will lead you to a good one (I have found mine by chance: he was on the retail locator page from green ronin).

I noticed this in the sample that was released a week or so ago.

It looks like they used a hardback printing for the AaEG, but used the internal formatting of the paperbacks like RttToEE and the classbooks.

Am I correct in this Eric? Does it not have the same borders as the core hardbacks?

Hm... the German versions of the splat books are hardcover (a real waste for a book with less than 100 pages, IMO, but I have come to know that I can't expect anything sensible with German D&D stuff.)

It's not the one in Tome & Blood.

The Races of Faerun one is 10 levels and abilties include Bladesong, Bonus Feats, Lesser Spellsong, Song of Celerity, Greater Spellsong, Song of Fury; but it does have essentially the same progression and spell list ast the Tome & Blood one.

That's exactly the same as the "true bladesinger", the one from the web enhancement that's essentially errata.

Not even additional, FR specific spells in the spell list? That's a shame.

What info do they have on the Fey'Ri?

Thanks anyways. ;-)
