Unearthed Arcana for 3.5 from WOTC!

[edbonny]

Still got my copy and it's very much intact and in fine condition...

So is mine the last time I checked (which was about 15 years ago)...

Why not wait till you find out more instead of giving us your rant on how WOTC is an evil soulless company who stifles competition, feeds off the flesh of the dead, and leaves the toilet seat up.

Hey, I never leave the toilet seat up!

Hey, I never leave the toilet seat up!

lol
I heard you won first place in the puppy kicking competition though!

Seriously though, can you tell us anything at all about this?

Personally, I'm looking forward to a book of variants; and I'll probably get both the WotC book and Monte's book. I've always thought Monte's choice of titles was... unfortunate, even without WotC putting out UA. Dunno, Arcana Unearthed just sounds wrong, like when I hear my wife's maiden name, but it won't stop me from buying his book.

What I'd like to see in AU:
-Paladin PrC
-Guidelines for a lower-magic setting
-Rules for non-Vancian spellcasting (a rehash of WoT would be fine by me)
-A variant, more combative Ranger
-Wound/Vitality points

Seems fishy to me...

A supplement devoted to fish, you say? SOLD!

Hey, I never leave the toilet seat up!

Then I would be very frightened to see your bathroom.

My local FLGS is more CCG-wise than RPG-wise, which means when ordering rpg stuff you have to pretty much spell things out for them. So, unless the ISBN is handed over in the ordering process, much confusion shall arise.

Mimir was a giant in Norse mythology whom Odin used as an oracle. Mimir's head sat beside the World Tree and uttered prophesies and other omens, and Odin would go off and make use of it.

That's mythologically true, but, as with many things, D&D had that, and another take on it.

The Planescape supplement A Player's Primer to the Outlands introduces mimirs as magic items. These things, made of an unknown silvery metal, were recording devices that could play back whatever they were told to record, as well as provide basic information on planar things. They only functioned on the Outer Planes, and were named after Mimir, who was a Norse god of knowledge in D&D mythology, IIRC.

I just looked at that link and nowhere can I find "Unearethed Arcana." There is, however, a blurb about Urban Arcana." A typo that was fixed, maybe?

I just looked as well; the reference is still there. At the end of the second paragraph under "Projects" (shortly after the Urban Arcana comments).
