Great initiative!!

I've to say Dragon #247, The rakasta article by Bruce Heard was simply fabulous!!

What if Paizo received some letters from dragon readers telling them what the magazine meant to them all these years, could some selected letters(or parts of them) be published in the last issue?

Thanks

No other setting even compares to MYSTARA!!!

that is assuming that catfolk are a 3e version of rakasta in the first place

Well, they are not... As Mike already told several times, Wizards will not convert the rakastas and points us all to the catfolk as a substitute. Catfolk are not a 3e version of the Rakastas, they are a replacement, and a bad one...

But that's probably just me...

You are correct, Sir. Wizards of the Coast points to the catfolk as the third edition version of rakasta.

Eeewww.... catfolk just... suck(no better word here) big time!!

I rather use a homemade conversion.
Catfolk are not allowed in my Mystara games!! They where extinct by the rakastas... ;)

Believe you me, if they were going to let us do a rakasta article, I would have written it years ago. ;)

We can still dream...right?

You can use Catfolk for the Raskasta. It is in "Races of the Wild".

Sacrilege!!!You will burn at the stake!!

Rakastas have a very unique set of abilities that catfolk seriouly lack...

I doubt rakastas will ever be officialy published and i don't understand why...

The OP should probably do what many of us, Mystara fans, do and make your own conversion.

Tortles actually returned about year or less before the Lupin in Dragon Magazine. It was in one of their much ballyhooed January issues of rehash and specifically on Mystara. Spot Check: How close are the new Catfolk to Rakasta?

Every time i read or hear the slightest hint of comparison between "Catfolk" and Rakastas, my bones chill...

Apart from being both "catlike" races they do not have anything else in common! Abilities and culture of the Rakastas are unique!
An official conversion on one of the most emblematic races of Mystara is missing...
Who cares if other "cat" races already exists, Rakastas are Rakastas!
While i await for that day to come... (zzzzzzz)... i use my own conversion.

Putting these docs on the web seems unfair use of the copyright, so let's say we're friends, and now we can exchange this privately by email. (in fact, I feel I have a lot of things in common with you all AP3 DMS :p)

For those who might be interested, just let an email here and I will send you the files (.rtf and .pdf).

Great job!!!

Yep!!Rakastas rule!!

Following the Diabolus, Lupin, Tortle and Phanaton Mystarian conversions he are lacking...the RAKASTA!!!

Will this great article (Winning Races) be returning to the pages of Dragon in a near future?

309 was a great issue, I think one of the highlights.

If you are looking for something in Dragon, you can always look at the Dragondex. It is very thorough.

Thanks, its a great tool!!

As far as I can tell, the enhancement does not change whether a bow is martial or exotic. And since you can apply it to any bow, the literal answer to your question is... yes.

Hummm... i was under the impression that the elven bow was a weapon and not an enhancement to any bow...if so where's the cost for this enhancement??

No one else noticed the handbow? It has the same damage, critical range, range increment of the hand crossbow. It costs almost 10 times less,is a martial weapon and does not take a move action to load...
I'm i missing something or who will ever take the hand crossbow if the DM allows the handbow?

Nazgul

Lantern Lodge

Hi!

Just what i was about to ask... :)

Are they martial or exotic?

I'm still asking myself, after readind the handbow, why should anyone ever take the hand crossbow...

??

Lantern Lodge

Hi!

I just hope that this amazing Voyage of the Princess Ark article receives several sequels...
As any Mystara related material.

Good work, Dragon!!!

Lantern Lodge

Yep!

Anything from Mystara is a must!!!

I wouldn't mind seeing an article on KW/Mystara, if it was fluff heavy. A simple 3e conversion of something that has already been covered, as the Lupins article was (IMO) doesn't do much good for me.

Well, i already have all the fluff on this matter, so my prime objective would be 3e conversions, namely Rakastas!

Lantern Lodge

I haven't read all the articles from the Dragon magazines but i always assumed the it was all reprinted in the CoM...

g) for me!!!

PS. Is my impression or does my ogre seems to be looking suspiciouly to your book carrying mouse??

heheheh :)

Lantern Lodge

huummm..let's see...YES! i would certanly buy anything official related to Mystara!

Hi!

Perhaps if we ask a lot, some of the old module will be converted, aside from phanatons what about the rakasta?
