10-05-06, 07:14 PM I'm new and making up a Wood Elf and just want to verify that they are +2 STR +2 DEX -2 CON -2 INT as opposed to the +2 STR -2 INT given in the D&D 3.5 SRD?

On a similar note, is there a summary somewhere of how Living Greyhawk rules are different from standard D&D?

Welcome. All the information you need can be found in the Living Greyhawk Campaign Standards 596 CY commonly called the LGCS. It can be downloaded from the main Living Greyhawk page here: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=lg/welcome

10-05-06, 10:55 PM Yeah, although most of it should be in line, all the times they differ the LGCS supersedes. As for your Wood Elf question, it says in the monster manual that the wood elves get +2 str -2 int in addition to the elf stats. So when you overlap the 2 you get +2 str +2 dex -2 con -2 int. So both were right kinda.

10-05-06, 10:56 PM Actually, the SRD specificly states that the +2 Stength and -2 Int is in addition to the usual racial modifiers that elves get, which comes out to the +2 STR +2 DEX -2 CON -2 INT listed in the LGCS. Though that's not always as clear as it should be.

And in general, the LGCS doesn't contradict the SRD, but when it does, the LGCS has precedence for this campaign.

10-05-06, 11:50 PM Ah I see. Thank you for the information. :)

(I had looked at the Wild Elf entry, which replaces rather than adds too, and didn't think that the others might use different wording.)

10-06-06, 12:58 PM There aren't many ways in which LG differs from D&D. The main ones are:

You only have access to core feats, spells, and prestige classes, listed in the LGCS, plus whatever you gain access to via ARs and metaorgs.

Caster level is a prerequisite to item creation.

You can only craft magic items you have seen (and additional wondrous items).
