Jul 20, 2003 13:50:43 Just a question for those with the DLCS... Does the DLCS tell what creatures in the MM are excluded from DL? I know lycanthropes do not exist, and orcs do not either. I also heard the some forms of giants do not exist, and beholders do not. Part of my question is that are some of these creatures listed here found in DL, according to the DLCS? And if so, which ones? Your aid is greatly appreciated.

What I have found so far is on pg 212, and it says that almost all creatures in the MM are appropriate for a Dragonlance campaign, with a few notable exceptions (primarily Driders, Drow elves, Halflings, Lycanthropes, Mind flayers, Orcs & Half-orcs, and Titans).

Jul 20, 2003 15:06:32 Further information on how to incorporate existing D&D monsters into your campaign, as well as guidelines for using them as NPCs and fleshing them out more fully, will be included in the Bestiary of Krynn. In the meantime, however, kgmiller's summary should tell you what you need to know.

Cheers,
Cam

I don't have a problem with Drider (they don't have to have a drow/dark elf origin, they can be something else), Mind Flayers or Titans.

Lycanthropes (if you wished to use thm on Krynn - I don't) could exist but are only affected by their alignment's moon phase. Interesting twist.

Of course, in my game, they've discovered that sorcery/mysticism can emulate their lost powers, thus leading to their resurgance in taladas =)

There was only one Dragonlance Monstrous Compendium (not to be confused with the Bestiary, or the upcoming Bestiary of Krynn).

It was volume two in the overall monstrous compendium series, and had a 3-ring binder with it.

You know...I've been wondering about that...

Shouldn't it technically be called the Bestiary of Ansalon?
