Is there anywhere a guy can go for information regarding what the heck an animus is? Or are they simply "liches by any other name?"
Thanks,
Ghorrin
Download Ivid the Undying it's probably the best piece of work never to see print. You might also try sites such as canonfire.com or another one of my favorite sites bastardgreyhawkisonfire.com.
This should help you out!
That took all of five seconds to find on Google... I really wish people would stop being so lazy.

First of all, there's no reason to be nasty. People come on here all the time asking questions like this, and there's nothing wrong with that. Many of the people who come to this forum are very knowledgeable about Greyhawk arcana, and are more than willing to share their knowledge.
Second, I followed your link, and it's just a list of the articles in the Living Greyhawk Journal. There's no substantive information in it, and in fact, I don't think the word "animus" appears in the document at all.
But unless it also links to the article, you're right Brom, not helpful.
Your also right Brom, unnecessarily rude.
You aren't alone, Ghorrin. I wish I could get my hands on that article as well. For an alternative, Delglath has written up his own version of the 3.5 animus. It's not cannon, but it's not bad either. You can find it by searching through the archives on Cannonfire.com.

EDIT: Here's a link to search the GreyTalk archives. If you search for "animus" you'll find quite a bit of stuff.
And here's the link to Delglath's d20 Alternative Animus.
Hope these help, and be warned. A minor flamewar kind of erupted over this issue, so bring your fire extinguisher along. ;)

Get off your high horses before you fall off. It's a long way down from up there and I assure you that you are not perfect and therefore in no way do you have the right to criticize me. In other words, STFUA.
Laziness is a sin. Look it up. If someone is too lazy to look something up for themselves and that is encouraged, then this board gets plagued with inane threads like this.
Weren't you a proponent of the FAQ for this very reason? No, wouldn't call that hypocritical at all...
Definitely check out Ivid the Undying, it has everything you need to know except for stats and for that check out the LGJ.

WHO THE HELL ASKED YOU TO COMMENT?
Haven't you heard? Personal attacks aren't allowed here.

Delglath, is that you?!
You have a problem with that?
Note that if you are Del part of the agreement for getting a new SN after one has been banned is that you not (and do nothing to)reveal who you were... which you have appearently just violated.
I think everyone at one point or another can get a little abrasive from time to time. Let's forget the past and move on this way we can discuss Greyhawk and not a flamewar.

Useless? Posting a LEGAL link to a reference for all the published, updated to 3e info, including the animus, is useless? BEG your pardon, dear sir, so sorry to have wasted your time, ever so terribly embarrassed. I'll scoot off right away and find an illegal copy of it for your fine self!

I'm sorry, sig, you're going to have to, sig, speak louder, sig, I can't sig you...

if indeed the word animus never appears (Which I do not know, I did not follow the link)... then the link is useless, as there would be no way for the original poster to know that the 3e stats appeared in the LGJ #2
in fact simply stating that the 3e version of the animus appears in LGJ #2, with out the attitude would have saved both the orginal poster and your self wasted time and energy.
edit: after following the link I see that the word Animus does infact appear.

Wait, wait, wait... I want to savour this moment... it's sweet...
You mean to say that you jumped all over me about something, accusing me of posting useless information, despite not actually knowing whether or not it was useless?
And you don't consider that to be rude?
If so, then that's one twisted set of ethics you have there, pal. At least I'm consistant...

This post reported for harasment!

If I was mistaken, I apologize. I started skimming the document, then decided to just use the Adobe Acrobat Reader's Find function. When I tried to Find "animus," the search came up empty.
My other point remains valid, however. Pointing someone to LGJ #2 doesn't answer that person's question unless they've already got LGJ #2. This board isn't so busy that we really need to discourage people from posting.

Yet you have the right to criticize others for laziness? So I guess you must be perfect. But then if you were perfect you wouldn't get so wound up over someone asking a simple question. Oh the sweet sweet irony.
Anyways on topic now yes the animus appears in LGJ#2 which is insanely difficult to obtain due to the big ole map of the City of Greyhawk in it. You can try eBay but you best be prepared to lay out some hefty coin for it. I've been trying for about a month now and it's no picnic.

Just curious... what does the "A" stand for in this acronym? I have my suspicions, but surely the author wouldn't be so hypocritical as to use that term and then complain about "personal attacks".

My first guess was "already," although I can think of at least one other "A"-word that might have been intended.
By the way, Ghorrin, I've got LGJ#2 (having paid way too much for it in eBay to get the nifty Greyhawk map), but I haven't had time to get it out and look at it. If the thread doesn't get shut down first, I'll post some information after I've read the article. Anything in particular that you want to know?
And Brom, I envy your eBay acquisition. Unless you were one of those hand and a halfs who have outbid me consisitently in my attempts to acquire hard copies of LGJs. Then I'm
