Complete Warrior

Forge your name in battle!

The Complete Warrior provides you with an in-depth look at combat and provides detailed information on how to prepare a character for confrontation.

This title, written by Andy Collins, David Noonan, and Ed Stark, was not only compiled from various D&D sources, but contains new things as well, including new battle-oriented character classes, prestige classes, combat maneuvers, feats, spells, magic items, and equipment. The prestige classes included have been revised and updated based on player feedback, and there are rules for unusual combat situations. The Complete Warrior will assist all class types, including those classes not typically associated with melee combat. There are also tips on running a martially focused campaign and advice on how to make your own prestige classes and feats.

Draconomicon

Let this book inspire you. Whether you use it to build new draconic adversaries and exciting dragon lairs stocked with legendary treasure, or to build a character who rides a silver dragon into battle against the servants of Tiamat, you are sure to find not just the rules you want, but the wonder you need to make your game more fun. Dragons are creatures of legend, and with this book you can be a part of that legend. Retell it, relive it, reshape it in your character's or your campaign's image. Draconomicon will show you how.

 

This book (designed by Andy Collins, Skip Williams, and James Wyatt) takes a comprehensive look at the dragons of the D&D world from a variety of perspectives. It includes information on playing dragons and dragon-like creatures, how to run a dragon in a fight, and how to both fight dragons and work with them as allies.

There are statistics on dragons of every type and at every age category, in addition to examples of lairs, hoards, and dragon minions. There are new rules, feats, spells, prestige classes, magic items, and other materials associated specifically with interaction with dragons including illustrated lairs and rules for creating treasure hoards. The book itself is designed in a prestige format, with heavy use of art throughout and constructed of premium materials.

Gamma World

Eight hundred years ago, everything went to hell. Cities vanished, forests burned, and an entire civilization died in nuclear fire, gengineered plagues, and mutagenic poisons. Gamma Terra is what's left, a world blighted by radioactive deserts, deadly ruins, and thousands of new and dangerous species armed and armored with bizarre mutations and the wreckage of technology. Humanity is no longer the master of the world...

The fifth incarnation of the fan-favorite Gamma World setting (written by Andy Collins and Jeff Grubb) brings mutant mayhem to the Alternity RPG. This new take on the classic post-apocalyptic world includes plenty of old friends--including Mark V blaster pistols, androids, badders, and the ever-popular Knights of Genetic Purity--while also introducing some new elements to the game.

Libris Mortis

Nightmares from Beyond the Grave

Hushed voices tell spine-chilling tales of encounters with the walking dead and other unliving horrors. No other creatures have evoked such fear and fascination as this dreadful menagerie of malevolent spirits and mindless shells.

This supplement for the D&D game (written by Andy Collins and James Wyatt) presents a comprehensive overview of the undead. You’ll uncover information for creating, customizing, and combating undead characters and monsters -- including strategies and tactics commonly employed by undead and those who hunt them. Libris Mortis: The Book of Undead also provides new rules, feats, spells, and prestige classes, along with a host of new monsters and monster templates.

Lord of the Iron Fortress

Legendary forgemasters now serve an evil warlord and his dark purpose. Their hammers ring upon anvils dedicated to remaking a terrible weapon that was destroyed in ages long past. As the very fate of the world is being shaped, only the strongest heroes can shatter the diabolical plan.

Lord of the Iron Fortress is a 48-page D&D adventure for 15th-level characters. Designed to stand alone, it also provides the penultimate chapter of the "Adventure Path" series of D&D adventures. It includes many exciting high-level encounters, new magic and monsters, and a variety of interesting NPCs (villains and allies) for your campaign.

Errors and Clarifications

bulletPart Two, Encounter C: Chaotic weapons inflict +2d6 damage vs. lawful characters.
bulletAndrezhej: Looks like the aasimar special qualities were left out of the NPC stat block. Add +2 to his Listen and Spot skill modifiers, and add "acid/cold/electricity resistance 5" to his Special Qualities.
bulletAkolys: Her alignment should be listed as LE, not NE.
bulletEdylyn: As her stat block indicates, Edylyn wields a short sword, not a light mace as listed in her possessions. Due to her low Strength, her speed should be 20 ft., not 30 ft.
bulletExandolon: For his blasphemy spell to work, the DM must rule that Acheron is his home plane. If not, the spell only affects non-evil creatures from his home plane (wherever the DM rules that to be).
bulletPackleader Tavarus: The stat block for this creature should list his CR as 17 (currently unlisted) and his DR as 20/+4 (rather than 20/+3).
bulletZalatian: Since Zalatian isn't on his home plane, his blasphemy spell only works against non-evil creatures native to Celestia, which might include any celestial summoned monsters or planar allies that might accompany the PCs.
