[QUOTE="Vraille Darkfang, post: 2927032, member: 16989"] See Skeleton page 167. The rest of the entry is missing (Not a big deal as it seems to be a nearly identical to the MM versions). Teratorn pg 178. The Environment entry reads "Temperate [I]and [/I] Desert, Plains, and Mountains." (Looks like a 'Warm' got cut). Core Beast pg 70. The 2nd & 3rd paragraphs say the exact same thing, just a minor difference in wording. It looks like both were left in until the editor could decide which he liked better & then both slipped through. VoTaurr, Male pg 202. It's a LARGE creature with a Level Adjustment of +0! They even have it in the appendix as a viable PC race. (Yes, it does have 10' reach). I think they just plugged in a random number for Level Adjustment. While these errors are very minor, it sets off all sort of red flags for me. I'm not usually the one to spot all the errors in a book (part of the reason I hang around here). Excepting some of Mongoose's worst & most of Fast Forward's Stuff, all those editing & mechanics errors don't jump out at me. In the past, if I notice errors, it has to be pretty bad. However, I have tried to get better at spotting detail. Maybe I've just put a few more ranks in Spot. Maybe I just finally rolled that Nat 20 on this book. Or maybe there is something to it. At first glance this book looks really good. But the combo of a few big editing gaffes, with a lack of rules knowledge (Level Adjustment, not the easiest thing to do properly I'll grant), just makes me wonder. It also seems to lack a lot of Sub-Types that should be done. Namely Extraplanar vs Native & Sub-Type for Humanoids. But that could be entirely due to the Camapaign Setting. Overall, I'm hoping somebody with a better eye than mine can give this book a big thumbs up, because a lot of potential is in here. [/QUOTE]
