[QUOTE="Henadic Theologian, post: 9020260, member: 7030526"] "Mercane (p. 37). The mercane’s creature type has been changed to “Celestial.” The first paragraph of the mercane description has been replaced with the following: Mercanes are the mysterious, magical creations of one or more deities whose portfolios revolve around fair commerce. Standing 12 feet tall, they are lanky blue beings who dress in elegant robes and have elongated heads and long, spindly fingers.

Mercanes are best known, however, for procuring and selling magic items, including artifacts and spelljamming helms. It’s rare to see more than one mercane at a time, though it’s common for a mercane to be accompanied by underlings or bodyguards." "Reigar (p. 47). In the description of the talarith and in the reigar’s Summon Golem trait (changed to Summon Duplicate), all instances of the word “golem” have been changed to “duplicate.” The first two paragraphs of the reigar description have been updated as follows: Reigar were once cephalopods similar to octopi.

Other reigar create art of a more benign nature." These are huge changes, like damn, the set I bought is worth even less now. Its even the only big change, the Space Penguins are a Feywild race now. Another creature lost its Priests. Anyone else think some of these changes are related to Planescape? Like why else change Mercane's to Celestial servants of the Gods of none evl Capitalism? And what happened to the Reigar's home world, got replaced by an outer celestial plane? Anyone else want to know why such major changes were made? [/QUOTE]
