WotC Desert of Desolation Preview #3 is up

[thalmin]

WotC has posted their 3rd Desert of Desolation preview. This time they show the stat cards, as well as the minis, for the Drider and the Bar-Lgura.

Ya know, I always thought that was a an Uppercase I, not a lowercase L. Bar-Igura. *shrug*

Minis look decent, and I now wish these'd come out like a month ago so I could've used them with Savage tide.

I hate Drow and all things Drowish, so the Drider is useless to me.

Same here - it links straight back to the D&D homepage for me

Try it again - it's working for me.

Nope. Definitely doesn't work - says the page isn't live yet and then links straight to the D&D homepage.

I guess Bar-Lguras are Large-sized in 4e. That's fine with me, especially if they're pushing the bestial angle for demons.

I guess Bar-Lguras are Large-sized in 4e. That's fine with me, especially if they're pushing the bestial angle for demons.

If they aren't then I'll be seriously, seriously cheesed with WotC.

I really can't get my head around why they'd deliberately go out of their way to modify a creature that ALWAYS appears in mobs, and who is Medium-sized and not an overly complicated to sculpt, as a Rare, Large sized mini. If I was ravingly paranoid I'd wonder if it were deliberate, because Bar-lguras are very prominent in the Savage Tide and WotC probably doesn't want to make it any easier for people to run Paizo's adventures rather than theirs, but I'm not quite at that point yet.

I just wish I knew why they did this sort of thing. Rare (large) Bar-lgura. Rare Dread Wraith (c'mon, it's not like the paint job was THAT complicated!) Rare Chasme. Uncommon stirge. It's just really irritating.

I can see the logic in making the bar-lgura large in 4e (extra size bonus makes it easier to grapple someone and use abduct...) but if they remain Medium and someone's just done this for the hell of it, well, it's pretty annoying.

Still linking me back to the home page. Even clicked the link on the homepage and it brought me right back to the home page.
