Book Description

Legends & Lairs September 2001
Some have lived in the world for millennia. Some have conquered continents. Some have gained great fame in magic, sacrifice or heroism of ages past. Some have lived in obscurity throughout the ages. Some wait in hatred amongst dark caverns for their time to ravage and rule the lands. Some dwell in peace deep in hidden valleys and on forgotten plateaus. Some walk openly among the known people, and some walk hidden. They are races of myth and lore. They are tribes, civilizations, outcasts, and abberants. Their time is now.

FFG is proud to present the second core book in the Legends & Lairs line of d20 System material. Mythic Races provides payers with 30 new detailed cultures for character creation. Each race is beautifully illustrated and details their history, gods, special skills, feats, equipment, and new prestige classes. These races range from the familiar to the alien, and all can be easily introduced into any campaign, making use of level modifiers to maintain game balance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Now for something COMPLETELY Different, October 5, 2001
By 
Brian K. Eason (Atlanta, GA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Legends & Lairs: Mythic Races - Character Race Compendium (Hardcover)
I had a high level of expectation for this product after seeing their fine Blue Planet system. I was not disappointed.

Contained in this 170 (reasonably priced) hardcover is:

* 30 New Races
* 31 Race Specific Presitge Classes
* 13 New Feats (mostly Race Specific, but easily adaptable)
* New Spells
* A Wealth of Background information to make each race unique.

Some examples of the fine work found in Mythic Races:

* Animen - A race of Humanoids with Animal heads (and a hidden animal nature)
* Athathi - A race of (VERY) well designed Humanoid Felines.
* Eleti - For the Necromancer in the Party... a Race of Undead... with a twist.
* Faeries - Finally a well designed Faery race (for those of you who like your fantasy with wings).
* Luminous - A race of beings composed of pure energy... great alternative for Paladins.
* Mhuinntirs - A race of Shapeshifters. The focus here is felines, but could easily be adapted for other animal types.
* Rhonians and the Rhoode - An Avian race and an Anphibian race that live in a strange symbiotic society
* Risen Demons - EASILY the best thing in the book, the opposite of Fallen Angels... two presitige classes are presented.
* Tremen - That's TREE-MEN... VERY COOL

And obviously there is a LOT more. All of the races are easily adaptable and a lot of the races I didn't mention are Warm and fuzzy in a halfing kind of way... but others are savage, brutish or horrible in some way... What thy ALL have in common is excellence of execution...

Bravo Fantasy Flight... Now I'm just waiting on the Sea-Farers guide...

2.0 out of 5 stars Not as helpful as I hoped, December 3, 2002
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Legends & Lairs: Mythic Races - Character Race Compendium (Hardcover)
This book does have lots of new races. But when you start to really take a look at them, they start to seem very similar to one another. I run a 3rd Edition D&D game and play in both d20 StarWars and D&D. I thought I would use this as a resource to create interesting new PCs and NPCs. But I have found that I barely open the book since I purchased it. Very disappointing.

4.0 out of 5 stars Well Done Mystic Flight Games, February 8, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Legends & Lairs: Mythic Races - Character Race Compendium (Hardcover)
A well put together book of races, with each race having at least one racial prestige class. I have found the book useful and informative.
