  • Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil ERRATA and FAQ
    Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil ERRATA AND FAQ A collaborative product of the members of Monte Cook's Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil web forum. Compiled, edited, and formatted by Siobharek. PDF version edited by ZansForCans. Modified: 11 February 2003 The definitive source for this errata and FAQ can be found in the ‘sticky’ threads at the top of the topic list on Monte Cook's Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil web forum. None of these errata or FAQ are official in any way (i.e. Monte or WotC have not said "That's right."), but most have been agreed to be accurate and true to the core rulebooks by many DMs running this adventure. NPC stats corrections are grouped in the appropriate chapter that the NPC appears in. In some cases, there is no ‘fix’ suggested—the errata is simply provided to alert you to a discrepancy. You didn’t think we’d do all the work for you, did you? It may seem like there are quite a lot of errata for this product. There are! Part of the explanation we have heard is that Monte was working on the adventure while D&D 3e was still being finalized. The rest we simply blame on his editors. ;) We welcome further corrections and additions to this list. However, when and if you find something that doesn't seem right, please check in every available rulebook. For instance, adding the right number of feats and stat increases to monsters with classes can be fiendishly hard but check it and double check it as much as you can.

  • Bestiary of the Realms: Volume 2
    Bestiary of the Realms: Volume 2 by Thomas M. Costa and Eric L. Boyd Art by Noëlle Triaureau Editorial assistance from Joe “Warlockco” Weber A NOTE FROM THE AUTHORS Welcome to volume two of the Bestiary of the Realms. As this is our second volume, you’ll find several score new or converted monsters, as well as a few different interpretations of monsters that have already been converted. A word of caution, just as many official 3E and 3.5E monsters did not slavishly follow earlier write-ups of those monsters, neither do the monsters herein. Instead, we did our best to consider all sources, hopefully make full and creative use of the 3.5E rules (including non-core WotC books), and in many cases add a little bit here and there to many of the monsters, even if it was in only adding or updating their Realms lore. A few have even been renamed. One last note, we’ve done our best to include source references for all things where appropriate, except those found in the three core rulebooks or Expanded Psionics Handbook. Until then, Sword High! – Thomas M. Costa and Eric L. Boyd ABOUT THE AUTHORS Thomas M. Costa is a senior analyst with the Government Accountability Office. He has been a contributor to several Wizards of the Coast products including Demihuman Deities and Races of Faerûn, and is the author of several Dragon Magazine and Wizards of the Coast website articles. He can be reached at [email protected]. Eric L. Boyd is a software designer and freelance game designer.
