[QUOTE="Shemeska, post: 2172200, member: 11697"] A 3.5 Faces of Evil style book. However I won't hold my breath on it. I doubt we'll ever see something on that level of depth from WotC. Their design philosophy currently just won't support such a book. Almost entirely flavor text w/ no PrCs, new PC races, items, and feats. The book is the anathema of the current design focus. And so based on that, and how spec'freaking'tacular a job that Colin McComb did on 'Faces of Evil', I partially don't want a fiend book or two simply so WotC doesn't screw up in comparison to what has already been done so well. Plus, the yugoloths will get shafted inevitably if a 3.5 fiend book gets done. The 'loths for whatever reason have just been minimized in 3e compared to the Tanar'ri and Baatezu. Now, don't get me wrong here, WotC might make a very nice book, but it'll always be judged versus 'Faces of Evil' or 'Hellbound', and damn if that's not a high standard. It's not fair for them, but it's true. Now I could always land in bizarro world and get my wish and have Colin get hired by WotC to write a new book. ;) Given that all, I'd rather hope for a fey book from WotC. And I want Gwen Kestrel to be among the writers. [/QUOTE]
