This is actually an erratum for the Core Rulebook, but it relates to the Bestiary.

In the table for Summon Nature's Ally, Ant (drone) is listed for SNA II, whereas Ant (soldier) is listed for SNA III, yet drones are soldiers with a more powerful template added on. Should these be reversed, or should "drone" actually be "worker"?

While we're on the subject of SNA, I'm curious as to why riding dog is SNA I while wolf and hyaena are SNA II. All three are very similar.

I've let the Cleric in my group have allegiance to all the sea deities and pick two domains associated with the sea. He's gone for Storm and Travel.

We've done the same, but I wanted to have more information about each of the deities, possibly for roleplay purposes. Our cleric went with Water and Travel.

Thanks to all for the responses!

Clerics from the Azure district can worship the water gods Osprem, Procan, Xerbo, or all three. The profile for Azure District says these three gods are found in Complete Divine, but I can only find Osprem and Procan therein. Anyone know where I can find the details on Xerbo (including his domains)?

I like both classes, but I'm playing a wizard in AoW, and I think wizard is the way to go. Two points in particular:

1) As was previously mentioned, knowledge checks are big in AoW, but wizards are also just good in general with skills, even cross-class and especially those useful trained-only ones. Consider taking a rank in appraise, unless your DM is generous with revealing value of treasure. Also consider some ranks in Disable Device and so you can automatically Aid Another for the rogue. With a high intelligence, it's easy to get these skills up to an "auto-succeed" level.

2) I also would not underestimate the value of getting higher level spells a level earlier than a sorcerer. In a deadly campaign like AoW, just having access to third level spells at 5th rather than 6th level is a big boost to your potential power. A sorcerer in the Whispering Cairn will probably feel like it takes an agonizingly long and treacherous time to get to second level spells.
