What do you want to see in the Dragon Compendium 2?

[Alzrius]

My apologies if there's already a topic on this somewhere (though it deserves a second mention, if so).

Presuming that Paizo is ever given the go-ahead by WotC to make a Dragon Compendium 2, what article would you want to see in it? Bear in mind that anthing pre-3.5 would be updated to the current edition of the game.

The "Bazaar of the Bizarre: Lich Magic Items" by Johnathan M. Richards in issue #234 would great if they were updated.

The Riding Bird (chocobo) from issue #323 would be amusing to see in there.

And of course, the "Not for the Living: Six Haunted Templates" by James Jacobs in issue #336 would have to be included!

What would you want to see in there?

A Plethora of Paladins

I don't remember which issue they were in, but I would like to see an update for the paladins of the other alignments (i.e. the N Paramander ).

More of the useful monk prestige classes.

Just in case you weren't aware...there are variant (other alignment) paladins in Unearthed Arcana.

Thanks,
Rich

I second this request. This is one of my all-time favorite Dragon articles.

EDIT: Didn't realize there were variant Paladins in UA. Anyone know how they compare to the old article?

And as long as I'm at it, I would love to see a compilation of spells and magic items.

That one.

No, paladin of slaughter, tyranny, etc., is not a replacement. The plethora paladins had a little flavor to them.

I'd also add most creatures from the Halloween issues in the 100s that never got updated. Good inspiration there.

I think its a bit too "symmetrical" for my tastes.

Of course, since I adopted Green Ronin's Holy and Unholy warriors, I haven't been pining for it like I once was.

Hmm... I think I would prefer an update to the old articles.

Ari's article on Polearms; issue 331

Well, part of it--the feats, or at least some of them--already appeared in DC1.

But I very much appreciate the interest.
