The pixellation of the graphic on the bottom of page 16 has been resolved for me in the new preview.

A corrected version of the preview, I also did a short design diary podcast.

If you can make your wizard's
save DCs, you should be fine.

If this is expressly for AE, shouldn't that be "If you can make your magister's save DCs, you should be fine."

Pesky thing... not sure what happened there but easy enough to resolve. Triksy Trik

I have our layout artist looking into this and I will have another preview up (from a future book on mondays).

Qwil: In that case, there's no need to specify that they sense the spells readied by "one" caster. That unnecessarily implies that it only works on a single person at a time, which while it may be strictly true (mebbe you can only see a single caster's spells at a time) is wrong in practice, as a free action sense basically affects everyone in range.

Add me to the list of people seeing a highly pixellated graphic on the bottom of page 16.

Firefox 2.0.0.11 or IE 7.0.5730.11
Adobe Reader 7.0.9
Win XP SP2

Same pixellation occurs if I open the pdf directly in Adobe Reader or Adobe Photoshop CS.

its not an action, any more that it is an action to for me to look and determine that Dave is ugly (bloody editors, heheheh).

A cookie for you!

Thanks.

Steve, that's a bona fide error that requires correction.

My fonts are fine, but the picture at the bottom of page 16 is quite pixellated. I can't determine my Adobe version, but it's the one that's built-in to FF 2.0.0.3 (school computers are a bit behind the times).

There's a typo on page 17: a trikar-mrak can automatically sense all spells readied one caster
Should be: readied by one caster.

As well, is the Sense of Elan ability meant to be a standard action to sense spells? The fact that it...

Ok I will try to find out what is up, if anyone else is having a pixilation issue please let me know, and what version of Adobe reader your using.

its a condition not a spell like affect, so no italics, it comes out of the DMG which as I understand it AE still uses.
Oops, correct. Then I would recommend it reading (see conditions, DMG).

I almost ruined a keyboard with the spit-take I did when I saw the layout. But I then checked the final product, and I promise that the rest of the book is laid out exactly as you would expect it to be. So yeah, it simply emphasizes the nature of the monster.

Mmm... please don't screw with the page formatting. It's okay for my 8 year old nephews kids books to have the story characters kicking the page numbers and paragraphs around, but this is a monster that as a DM, I need to be able to find, read and understand quickly and correctly.

First let me say thank you for taking the time to review the preview and post your comments. what follows is an explination of the design choice, as...

Toyota rules! Whee.

Fonts are still pixelated. Nice border artwork in the pdf. Decent critter drawing. Interesting choice to have a 15HD critter that's CR 8. What happened at the bottom of p. 3? Whoa, that's odd looking. Fascinated under Facial Fascination should be in italics to show that it's a spell-like effect. (Also I don't think fascinate is in AE, so you'll want at least a...

Next is, too much fluff text... well, not too much but too much of the same. You got a journal entry, which has become standard with Malhavoc/AE creature books and is well and good. But then the real...

I suggest you show all your preview material in the threads you post here. I don't see myself going to your website to view it.
