Races of Stone & the Planar Handbook: Not much use to FR fans? [Archive] - Wizards Community

01-10-04, 11:00 PM With Races of Faerun (and likely the PGTF) dealing with all the FR subraces (including Dwarves and Gnomes) will Races of stone be any use to FR fans as the Dwarves and Gnomes have already been detailed?

and due to the the FR having a different cosmology I cant see The Planar Handbook being much use either as most of it will be irrelvant as it will deal with the Great wheel.

What do you guys think?

Also if Bruce R. Cordell, Gwendolyn FM Kestrel or Jesse Decker are reading this would you care to comment?

PS Please dont turn this thread into a "I hate the new FR cosmology" flame

Thanks

01-10-04, 11:09 PM Many PrC's from RoS will be handy for dwarven/gnome players (my opinion based on non-Fr handbooks).
Other rules will come in handy too (especially background inf on on family and social behaviour).

Not everyone uses the New And Shiny FR Planar Cosmology®.
I'm still using the Great Wheel, so Planar Handbook will be used as often as the FRCS.

I was refering to people who are using the FR Cosmology

01-12-04, 07:48 AM I use the new FR Cosmology and Planar Handbook will not be on my shoping list.

However, Races of Stone might be, I'll need to have a look into it before buying. Races of Faerun might have gone into what the difference between the Rock Gnome, and Deep Gnome are, but perhaps this book gives us even more spells, feats, and other features that I would want my Rock Gnomes to have.
