Sweet! Reading that it seems you are along the same lines of thought that I had regarding the Horreb!
Awesome item by the way! Thanks Matt. |

| Thanks. I plan to flesh it out when I can get a moment. It should be a fun little pet project :) |

I was reading Ruins of Adventure late yesterday when I came across this interesting bit:
“The thri-kreen have two specialized
weapons unique to their race. One is a
polearm that has blades on both
ends—treat one end as a glaive, and
the other a throwing spear (damage 3-
8). The other is carved crystalline
“throwing wedge” that has a range of
9”, does 3-6 damage, and will return
to the thrower if it misses.”
I don’t have access to my 1st Edition Monster Manuals at work, so I was wondering if these ‘specialized weapons’ are unique to the thri-kreen as a whole or just these particular ones near Phlan. Are these weapons (specifically the crystalline discs) an example of Horreb technology?

I hope Candlekeep continues to be the friendly forum of fellow Realms-lovers that it has always been, as we all go through this together. If you don’t want to move to the “new” Realms, that doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with either you or the “old” Realms. Goodness knows Candlekeep, and the hearts of its scribes, are both big enough to accommodate both. If we want them to be.
(Strikes dramatic pose, raises sword to gleam in the sunset, and hopes breeches won’t fall down.)
Enough for now. The Realms lives! I have spoken! Ale and light wines half price, served by a smiling Storm Silverhand fetchingly clad in thigh-high boots and naught else! Ahem . .
So saith Ed. <snip>
love to all,
THO

Link is dead. Any chance you can repost it.
Some news about the write-up?
Nice stuff - as always |

They are not unique. They are as per the description in Monster Manual II. |
