4.0 out of 5 stars Show me better pics, January 25, 2000

This review is from: Heroes' Lorebook (Advanced Dungeons & Dragons: Forgotten Realms) (Paperback)

This little book was very good, just like most other guidebooks put out by TSR, but one major irritant never failed to irk me: those often ugly sketches of the npc. They may have actually chosen the worst ones I could envision. I'm mainly speaking of R.A. Salvatore's own cast: Drizzt, Catti-brie, etc. If they would ever do an expanded or revised version, my only request would be to get only the very best images available, or to simply create new ones, because when I see something that totally disagrees with what I'm reading, it can be . . . unpleasant

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting, but full of errors., September 11, 1998

This review is from: Heroes' Lorebook (Advanced Dungeons & Dragons: Forgotten Realms) (Paperback)

Who wants to use old heroes in his/her own campaign? Some characters might be usable as Major NPCs (as a rulers). I hope that for the next update, writers should READ the novels and AD&D rules before making something. Who have ever heard Drizzt using his ranger spells, even though he cartainly has level and wisdom for that. Drizzt also knows Dragon lore - profiency. Druids cannot be any other alignment than TN, even in Moonsheas. Why has Flight Arrow been marked as a weapon profiency? Etc, Etc... thats why only 3 stars.

Sweet water and light laughter!
