Dragon 354 has a new entry in the series of core gods (still by SKR). This one IMO, continues a trend towards more Greyhawk heavy, not genericized, content. I will leave you all to value its content, but some GH bits it covers includes the Shield Lands, Knights of Holy Shielding, Battle of a Fortnight's Length, the Great Kingdom and the Invulnerable Coat of Arnd. Enjoy.

What I really liked about that article was the fact that it gave four new ideas for summoned monster. Two of them with class levels. And it serves as an example for how to make more.

Another awesome Core Beliefs, as always. I love the temple maps.

Great job, has Herioneous always played a large role in Greyhawk?

I had some nit picky disappointments.

1. A return to referring to the "Knights of the Holy Shielding". Gah.

2. No acknowledgement of the Knights of Holy Shielding PrC from Dungeon magazine August 2004. About 2 and a half years ago ain't so long. And Erik Mona edited both, surprised it slipped.

3. Bolt of glory. Obviously this spell is an attempt to recreate the AD&D spell of the same name that was pretty much a Heironeous specialist priest spell. However this spell already exists in 3.5. It was converted under the same name in Complete Divine and saw reprint in the Spell Compendium. What is more, it is obvious that the CD/SC version of the spell is also an attempted conversion of the old AD&D Heironeous spell bolt of glory.
