Secrets of Xen’drik™

Keith Baker

Here Be Monsters … and More

There’s an old saying in Stormreach: “Great power rests in the ruins of the past.” The shattered cities and vast dungeons of Xen’drik hold the secrets of countless fallen empires. Legends speak of titanic landmarks, sunken treasure vaults, and forgotten places suffused with powerful magic. Beyond the walls of Stormreach, an entire continent waits to be rediscovered. But beware! Terrible monsters rule Xen’drik now, and explorers searching for gold or glory often find death instead.

Inside this book, you’ll find everything you need to adventure in the shattered continent of Xen’drik:

* Comprehensive overview of the continent of Xen’drik and the gateway city of Stormreach
* New feats, prestige classes, spells, equipment, and magic items
* Encounters and magical locations you can drop into your existing campaign
* Ready-to-play adventures, monsters, and villains

This book is great for anyone playing in the Eberron world of Dungeons and Dragons. The book covers anything you need to know about the ancient continent. There are some great new items, 3 new prestige classes (1 specific to warforged), new spells, artifact spells, and new artifacts. There is finally a map of Xen'drik, that shows the lands features. There is alot of information on stormreach and a map of the city. There are even new monsters to encounter and Xen'drik adventuring ideas. This book is great for PCs travelling in Xen'drik or DMs who want all the information on Xen'drik for the gaming sessions.

3.0 out of 5 stars Lots of Promise, July 14, 2006

This review is from: Secrets of Xen'drik (Dungeon & Dragons d20 3.5 Fantasy Roleplaying, Eberron Setting) (Hardcover)

The excitement built around the mysterious continent of Xen'Drik raised my anticipation and hopes for this newest Eberron release. Baker and others wrote great pieces about the continent, much of the book outlined possible hooks for adventures, including specific destinations and NPC creation/design. The PrC list was small, and those special classes were shallow, too. Feats and spells must be lost on the Giants' Island, because I couldn't find many of them. I believe more detail and playable information about the drow was located in Races of Eberron. I like the book, but feel it's price was too high for the value of information contained within. I would have preferred a softbound book and a smaller price. I found the artwork and design nicely done, but the information for players and DMs faile to achieve potential.

4.0 out of 5 stars Xen'Drik...is good!, August 1, 2006

This review is from: Secrets of Xen'drik (Dungeon & Dragons d20 3.5 Fantasy Roleplaying, Eberron Setting) (Hardcover)

I recently bought a copy of this book. I have read some reviews downplaying it but i give it a four and a half star rating.

First of all, the book is presented in a nice way. Like all the other Eberron books it looks nice. I also like the way all the encounters and sample local's are created not in a set location but with much room to change them and locate them anywhere on the continent you please. Basically it them showing you how to do it but the world is still yours.

The book is small though and wouldnt pay full price...lucky for amazon!
