As we in fandom are waiting in joyful hope for the release of Races of Ansalon, what are some of the things that you hope will be in the book?

No substitution levels (it seems they've fallen out of favor with WoTC, which is A-OK fine by me), but you will see plenty of Alternate Class Features, which are like sub. levels without the bad baggage that accompanies those.

They're a little clunky. Alternative class features provide most of the same benefits without worrying about a table, messing with saving throw bonuses and/or base attack bonuses, etc. Essentially, it's "switch out X feature for Y feature" and that's it. We group them under common themes - the kirath, for example, is a set of alternative class features, some for different classes - and this makes it more than a feat but less than a prestige class, which works very well indeed.

Cheers,
Cam

So then, if I understand this correctly, you could have clerics, druids, rangers, wizards, who are kirath with the alternate class features?

Not all classes are represented. Essentially, there are a handful of classes which work well with the kirath and therefore we picked some of their class features to switch out with new ones.

Aaah, the land of cheese.
Sadly, not the land of milk and honey. I guess since the Israelites spent forty years in the desert, 70 in Babylon and there is 2000 or so years from Abraham to the coming of Christ, and it has been 2000 since the Resurrection, we really do not have that much of a wait for the book.

They will most certainly be released. It's impossible to say exactly when until Jamie makes an announcement (usually based on WoTC approval and printer availability). Over on the Dragonlance Forums, I believe they recently mentioned that Races of Ansalon is in final layout.

What does that mean? Final layout?

It means they're working on it in InDesign to get the layout of the pages, artwork, borders, all the pagination, etc complete so the book is ready to go off to WotC to get reviewed and to the printers.

Also, any word on the Revised Beastiary? That has been out on pdf for about 3 or so months and still has not been published in a regular means.

It's currently at the printers. Quite frequently the print cycles used by printers are on the order of several weeks, and thus it can occasionally take a while for a print order to come up on the queue and get done. Look for the Revised Bestiary of Krynn sometime mid-April at the distributors and then in stores etc after that.

Cam

I thought that the Klar were Neidar who lived in Thorbardin at the time that the Dwarfgate Wars happened.

This is one of the most highly debated dwarven topics. According to history prior to the writing of the dwarven nations trilogy Klar were thought to be Neidar who were trapped in Thorbardin during the closing of its gates during the Dwarfgate Wars.

The true story, the Klar are a seperate culture of dwarves who have been around since Thorbardin was once called Kal-Thax. These dwarves were the farmers of Thorbardin and often ventured outside to oversee at first the Einer and then later the Neidar farms. During the Dwarfgate Wars many of them were unable to leave the Thorbardin and some of them were trapped outside. Those who were outside became part of the Neidar while those inside grew to show signs of craziness with the loss of their loved ones. Not to say that the Klar weren't always a little bit crazy would be an understatement but this drove them to new levels.

Not to get off topic but I personally have little faith in the Dragonlance source books. I mean yeah they are full of usefull stuff but with the speed that things change in Krynn they become outdated really quick... For instance with the fact that Mina is really a god the Holy orders of the Stars is kinda out the window... plus we know that something is going to happen pretty soon with the pantheon knowing that Gilean alone can't hold the balance...

Second, they are so damn hard to find in gaming stores... atleast around where I live and I honestly don't like reading the books on the computer... But this is all IMHO of course... Just wanted to add my two copper.

After final layout is taken care of, thanks to the speedy powers of Digger Hayes, our layout expert, it goes to approval at Wizards of the Coast. This can take a short amount of time or a long amount of time, depending on what WotC is doing, etc etc. The PDF gets uploaded to DriveThruRPG at the same time the approved book is sent to the printers.

All things going well, I expect you should be able to see it in the next couple of weeks. But if you hold me to that, I'll have to replace all of your Raistlin stats with stats for Finkle of the Green Robes.

Jamie or somebody else from the company will make an announcement, which will be official. Until then, it's all guesstimates.

The Revised Bestiary of Krynn doesn't have any half-ogres in it. It's got a half-giant, but we didn't include those in Races of Ansalon. They're more powerful than ogres! Half-ogres are in both the DLCS and reprinted in RoA.

They are double weapons or combined weapons that deal the same damage as the weapons they are made up of. It says as much in the text; find out what the weapon may be used for (such as a quarterstaff or hand axe) and then use those statistics.

You have to keep in mind that for somethings like the hoopak, it could be used as three different weapons (staff, spear, & sling), so which stats would they list? All three would take up too much room.



Excellent book, in particular I love the kender pouch rules and the Gully Dwarf feat Gassy. I noticed they listed the weapon familiarities for each weapon, but where does it list the rules for that? I don't remember how exactly that works.
#68

darthsylver

Jun 09, 2007 20:11:05
Off the top of my head (I could be wrong) the races treat those weapons as martial weapons rather than exotic weapons.

So if a dwarf is a fighter (and he therefore has proficiency with all martial weapons) and he has racial weapon familiarity with the exptoc weapon dwarven maul (don't know if that weapon actually, so excuse me if it don't. Just using it for example) then he is proficient with it, where a human would need to take the exotic weapon feat in order to use it.

If I am wrong about how racial familirity works, someone will point it out. But I believe that is how it works.

That would be up to the individual kender (and player).

We also don't want people to think kender are only capable of using kender weapons, hence the NPCs in KOoA that don't. The whole point of our sourcebooks is to expand and unburden old ideas, which I believe Races achieves.

darthsylver

I would say with the handler class that although there is nothing preventing them from being afflicted kender, that it just does not fit them as well as it does regular kender. The handler is supposed to express the kender mindset of taking things because they are curious about them rather than because of a need to steal. Afflicted kender are not consumed by curiosity and know perfectly well that when they steal something that they are stealing. Of course one could say that the afflicted kender are taking things from paranoia (to prevent them from being used against them) rather than through curiosity.

Half-dwarves are seen in Soulforge, so that's why you have them.

Half-kender are rare, but there are two known cases - Tarli Half-Kender and Scrounger. Some kender may look more mature than normal specimens of their race, perhaps enough that they look like young teenager. Enter in an adolescent boy with extreme hormone issues, and you get a half-kender. ;)

And, if we have those combinations, why not a half-gnome or a half-goblin?

See, I was picturing a overly questioning male kender stumbling upon a naked female human and pestering her with so many questions she just decides to do the one thing that shuts any man up.... that or a teenage female that just thinks the kender is sooooo cute, being chibi-like and all.. :D

It seems as if humans are the fathers so far in the half-kender examples that were given above.

There have been no half-gnomes in any of the novels that I have read.

The one in the book that I say looks very much like Gimble the iconic 3.5 gnomish bard in the PHB and other works.

There's nothing stopping you from limiting it to kender only - base classes typically aren't, and in fact opening it up to other races is a pretty cool idea (why should kender be the only nightstalkers in the Age of Mortals? They're just the first ones to follow that path), but you can easily require them to be kender.

I was delayed in answering the question because I've relocated to Wisconsin this past weekend and I've been offline. Now I'm back to work on Dragons of Krynn!

I was delayed in answering the question because I've relocated to Wisconsin this past weekend and I've been offline. Now I'm back to work on Dragons of Krynn!

Awww, and I used to like you so much; but now that you're a "cheese-eater"...

HAHAHA, just kidding! :D

Since it is Dragons of Krynn, will there be information on the dragons clans of Taladas?

It's extremely Ansalon-centric, sorry.

Not a problem at all. Just a bit of a misnomer is all.

Is there any information on when the hardcover book of Races will be available?

Also, are the dragons from Otherlands, the brine dragons, going to be in the book Dragons of Krynn?

The book is at the printers, after we corrected the PDF version (which is going to be updated at DriveThruRPG) and should be sent off to distributors in a few weeks. It's a busy time of year for printers!

Also, are the dragons from Otherlands, the brine dragons, going to be in the book Dragons of Krynn?

Nope. Banished to the land of obscurity.

Those dragons were kind of neat. I was reading the Otherlands the other night and am glad that the lesser gods of the Dargonesti were taken out of the official canon yet they are still referred to in the Races book.

Absolutely. I regard them as aspects of the core gods, not true gods or demigods.

Like aspects of Abbaku?

Is the Sea Witch and her sister, the 30th level cleric of Mishakel, who were part of the same person split by Takihis still canon?

We're not mentioning her. I doubt anybody is a 30th level cleric of Mishakal, however.

Good, while I like the story, it was kind of out of place in Dragonlance, especially as it is mentioned in only one product and not ever really supported after that.

We're expecting to sell copies at ComicCon San Diego this week, and then GenCon Indy, so it'll be in the distribution channels soon afterward. Dragons of Krynn will also be at GenCon.

It may require many bothans dying to bring you Dragons of Krynn, but as far as I know that's still the plan.

Don't worry, though. They're bothans. It's what they do.

Unfortuntely, with MWP's history going against them, I hightly doubt that the book will be ready. Races still isnt on shelves. I hope that AI will be proven wrong though.

Dragons of Krynn was approved by Wizards of the Coast today, as a matter of fact. We just have a couple of more things to do and then it'll be up on DriveThruRPG within the next week or two and off to the printers.

Races of Ansalon is here at Comic-Con San Diego. I was reading a copy of the book today after I picked up the boxes, and it goes on sale tomorrow.

Cheers,
