Twin Peeks: Races of Faerun and Arms & Equipment Guide

Some of that really reminded me of Aurora's Whole Realms Catalogue. Did they credit that as a source at the beginning? Now that A&EG is out, I hope WOTC will let Kenzer release THEIR version. I want them both...

Three questions for ya if you don't mind, Eric:

- Did they include OGL material from other sources? (I eblieve someone else asked that as well, but I didn't see you answer...)

- Someone noticed the damage scaling for weapons by size was different in SS compared to 3.0 (scaling 2d6 -> 3d6 I believe, instead of 2d6 -> 2d8). Was that just a typo, or is that in A&EG as well?

- How extensive are the vehicle rules, especially regarding ships. There's already three excellent naval d20 books out including extensive rules for ship construction, ship types, movement (including momentum, oars and wind direction), naval combat etc. To what degree do you expect A&EG to supercede those?

1) I don't know but I didn't see anything that jumped out at me. I'll have to look later.

2) I don't know, I'll have to look later.

3) They are essentially the same rules by David Noonan that were published in Dragon Magazine a while back. Since I haven't seen any of the d20 naval books, I don't really have anything to compare them to.

Yes, Aurora's Catalog was credited at the beginning. But the feeling of the A&EG is substantially different than Aurora's. Aurora's was one of my favorite 2E products. There was something just so charming about it; plus having illustrations for each item was nice.

Breachgnomes.

Man, I like breachgnomes.

Remember that picture in the old Gnomes and Halflings book of the breachgnome going all axe-happy on some goblinoids?

Anyone know when RoF hits the streets?

Last month, Savage Species seemed to hit the stores in my area about the Friday after I got it.

Aurora's STILL gets use at my home. In fact, it's the only 2e book still on my shelf (though the old monster books and OD&D books are kept handy elsewhere). God, I love that book... I'd like to see a 3E full-out revised and expanded version of it...

Though I never did get to use a cranial drill in my campaign.


Thanks

I know I'm gonna get castrated for this, but I have one word for you:

Kazaa.

Yes you will. Guards!

3.5 fixes lycanthropes?!?!

I love you WotC!

I once had a PC thief who got infected by a wererat... Once.
What a nightmare... Make you not want to use lyncanthropes
against a party.

I hope getting infected isn't exactly like multiclassing. You shouldn't be able to CHOOSE which levels to get when you level up. You should be forced to pick lycanthrope levels untill the CURSE is removed.
