Races of the Wild: Dungeons & Dragons Supplement

Great alternative class features for halflings and elves. Raptorans pretty much "pwn". You will FAIL your WILL SAVE if you try to resist this book.

I've used the weapons and culture discriptions in both a game I'm DMing and a game I'm playing, though I have yet to use the new bird-race yet. The flying thing is a little complicated, and their culture makes it harder to use them accordingly as a PC. I may put them in a game some day though.

When I can't play the one canine humanoid race, the lupin which I am disapointed did not make it into this book, I'm usually playing elves and half-elves. Granted I play Wood Elves for their favored class of ranger but still, I rather liked a lot of this book. Many new arrows and a new treatment of bows I fully intend to expand beyond the elves. In fact tweak a lot of things in here and they can be useful to anyone. The swords are mostly refitted weapons from previous editions. More racial substitutions given provide new options for those that want to play up stereotypes even more than previous. I was also entirely less than enthused with the raptorans but then again, I rarely see the need for avian races in any capacity and this did not change my mind. Although I will say that while reading it I became very tempted to make up a gnoll character, something I have never been inspired to do.
