Now for something COMPLETELY Different
5 Oct 2001
Format: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...

Not as helpful as I hoped
3 Dec 2002
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
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.

Well Done Mystic Flight Games
9 Feb 2003
Format: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.
