<t>The UA barbarian is seen by most to depart too much from the other PHB classes in "spirit" and in "form". So, I set out to creating a new version which would reflect the main points of the UA version, but that would fit better (IMO) with the PHB classes.<br/> <br/> I had some exchanges with Gary ...

Seconded! This would be really interesting to have!

Hey Bloodaxe, I am not the kind of guy who does not want his "thunder" stolen Please add your monster to the other thread.

Perhaps it would be nice to have it stickied?

Well, cooshee were from MM2, but the first time I saw them used, is in the DL7 module. In Dragonlance, they are companion animals of the Kagonesti elves (i.e. C&C wild elves).

Oh nice photos! The nicest part is the low-level cluttering in terms of books!

<t>True, the FRCS book is really awesome. Although I do not like 3e FR much, that book is really well done, and you could use just it and the 3 core 3.0 books to have a full FR campaign without any splatbook. Coupled with the fact that 3.0 is still a mildly playable version of D&D 3.x, having on...

No naked ladies on the borders like the Conan RPG? It would be soooo Sword & Sorcery!
