[QUOTE="DaveMage, post: 3357865, member: 10447"] There is apparenlty an overall meta-plot, but there are (very) numerous adventure hooks unrelated to that plot throughout the book. As for the "readability", the short bits I've read are fine, but I'm sure it will be a matter of taste. Also, to add to my earlier post, there are indeed no stat blocks throughout the book (except the appendix). They refer you to the Monster Manual for monster stats. Incidentally, a lot of the book will require work on the DM's part. Despite the size, there is a lot left to the DM to develop. There are several multiclass characters throughout as well as monsters that aren't detailed beyond the very basic. For example, there's a dwarf that is listed as Bard 3/Fighter 1, but there is no stat block pertaining to that NPC. Also, one page lists the monsters as "4 dwarf liches" but no details on their power level is provided. The appedices in the back has stat blocks for all base classes and all base NPC classes of levels 1-20, which is very handy as a resource, but they are all "race free" so racial modifiers will have to be take into account to use them. However, the spell lists and equipment lists could apply regardless of race, so I think they would be a great resource to determine those aspects of NPCs. [/QUOTE]
