| Yes, ghazneths are individuals each with unique characteristics. |

Nice ones. I had ghaunadans in there, but not shadowstaves and I must’ve accidentally deleted the wingless wonders (thought I had them!). Wizshades I believe were originally introduced as a Spelljammer creature which is still certainly do, but at the end of the list for FR. If this book is popular, I might actually do en entire SJ bestiary next. From what I remember about ghazneths, aren’t they individuals? Like each one with unique abilities and appearances?
Wizshades are a Spelljammer thing, but Ed seems to really like them -- they frequently pop up in his 2E material.
I wouldn't even try to touch ghazneths, myself... As presented, they seem to have been created purely as a plot device, and there are issues with the lore surrounding them... Like the fact that they all supposedly betrayed Cormyr, but one's "betrayal" was leaving her husband before there was a Cormyr, and the "betrayal" of another was trying to save a member of the Royal Family instead of following orders. |

Interesting. Didn't even think of them as not being as awful as I remember them.
Here's the Song Dragon by the way. It's my daughter's favorite and she said "you really should let them see that one...
She's also doing some of the art now.
