Underdark Contents

[Simplicity]

It could I suppose be Derro, but then I ask myself, why
would they censor Derro?

But then I ask myself, why would they censor Desmodu?
Wishing that I could censor Desmodu, I realize that this
must be the answer.

 

[Wormwood]

Oh man oh man that looks like a lot of crunch.

Sold!

They would censor derro because the derro have not yet made an appearance in 3E...

Derro seems like a strong contender.

Unapproachable East has a censored race too, as I recall. But I think that one is "Star Elves." Not sure what those are, though...redeemed drow? Spelljammer elves?

Hey, where are spriggans, anyway?

 

[Endur]

FR or all worlds? Greyhawk?

Out of curiousity, anybody know if this is an official FR book, or is it for all worlds? Greyhawk, etc.

They would censor derro because the derro have not yet made an appearance in 3E...

Except in the Monster Manual, under the Dwarf entry. And in the SRD too.

There's also a [censored] race in the Unapproachable East table of content that the same Rich Baker posted some times ago.

Things I've noticed:

What are those new playable race, slyth and gloaming ? Never heard before. In the Prestige Class section, out of 12, 4 seems drow-based. Add to these the two PrCs from Faiths & Pantheons, plus the Fang of Lolth (and who except followers of Ghaunadaur may want to be Oozemasters ? "Crothian" isn't an accepted answer). 2 others are obviously kuo-toan, one mention illithids.

In the Monster section, we have a print version of the Baphitaur. The Fiend Folio already reprinted ophidians and ti-khana. The qorrash are for later probably... They also reprint the giant cockroach and giant maggot from the BoVD WE. I wonder if the "lurker" is the lurker above.

Several portal-related spells, and one portal-related beast.

The web-material about the underdark (spells, monsters, and items) have not been reprinted.

Derro seems like a strong contender.

I think it's neither derros nor desmodu, but some new race. No point in hiding already known material.

Unapproachable East has a censored race too, as I recall. But I think that one is "Star Elves." Not sure what those are, though... redeemed drow? Spelljammer elves?

Nah. They would have censored the "Elf, Star" mention also. As for what star elves are...

Hey, where are spriggans, anyway?

In the Fiend Folio. But they are no more humanoid (gnomes), but fey. Anyway, they'll be fey (gnome) IMC. Who said racial subtypes could only be applied on humanoids ?

Out of curiousity, anybody know if this is an official FR book, or is it for all worlds? Greyhawk, etc.

Tom

FR, from the mock cover, the listed locations, and the over-emphasis on drow.

 

[coyote6]

They would censor derro because the derro have not yet made an appearance in 3E...

Aside from their entry in the MM (subrace listed under "Dwarf"), you mean?

 

[NiTessine]

Aside from their entry in the MM (subrace listed under "Dwarf"), you mean?

Argh. FR 3E, I mean.

Hey, where are spriggans, anyway?

Good! Because as we all know, there aren't enough elven subraces in the realms.

Let's see... Dark elves, sun elves, moon elves, winged elves, wild elves, wood elves, aquatic elves... I wonder how long it'll be until we see arctic elves, or mountain elves, or plains elves?
