Another question for those lucky enough to have it
What does the Wounding Meta feat do?
Also what does LEOF say about Myth Adofhaer? (The lost Sun Elf city in MOF) |

Unless there is a new feat with same name, something I thought WotC fixed.
There is "WOUNDING ATTACK [PSIONIC]"
which allows 1 point Con damage. |

Yeah but what about spells levels
If a wounding Magic missile does 1 point of Con damage what does a Wounding Vampric Touch or a wounding powerword kill do? Surely they dont all deal one point of con damge |

A wounding power word: kill not only kills you, it hurts you, too.    |

Well,
the Wounding Spell feat inflicts bleeding wounds upon spell targets, that cause the loss of 1 hp every round thereafter. It can be stopped via cure spells and a Heal Check. The feat can only be applied to damage dealing spells and uses a slot 2 levels higher.
As far as Myth Adofhaer is concerned, I could only find one small reference in the timeline of the "Realms of the High Forest" Chapter till now. It says that high mages from Siluvanede put the city into magical stasis and thus flee effectively to the future to escape being accused of cooperating with the fey'ri. That's it.
Happy gaming

Actually, there is one more mention of Myth Adofhaer in the section "Legacies of the High Forest". Under adventure seeds it basically says that several old elvish songs mention the mythal-cloaked city which was sent away from Faerun by the Eaerlanni about 6,000 years ago. It seems that the Eldreth Veluuthra are searching for it, since they are interested in a city full of sun elves who might share their views.
That´s about it and I couldn´t find anything else. |

That one eluded me by skimming through the book, even though one should think that an adventure seed should be easier to find than a small sentence in a timeline.

I have a question for those with this book already. I saw the following reported on ENWorld today:
quote:
EN World member reveal asked WotC why recent books contained no indexes. He got the following reply from WotC customer services: "It was a design choice made by the Designers. I have no information on why the designers choose certain formats for our products. Thank you for your input I will pass along you dissatisfaction at not having Indexes in the newer WotC Books."
Is there an index within Lost Empires of Faerun? |

You're likely correct... And that draws vacuum. Indices are insanely useful features in a book, and yet they don't seem willing to give us those anymore... |

No ads in the back so that won't be a reason for this tome to "draw vacuum" as it were.

Ah, but the lack of an index does draw vacuum. An index just makes the book so much more usable, but for no readily apparent reason, WotC has decided to not give us those. If anyone knows why they did that, I'd love to hear the reason. |

I'd speculate that it comes down to the same themes that most decisions come down to: time and money. The creation of an index can involve both. Moreover, it's not just WOTC, D20 publishers in my past experiences generally don't have an index within their products. Although there are some wonderful exceptions to this norm, Monte Cook's Arcana Unearthed for one. |

I have two questions about the book:
1. Is there some more info on Malkizid aside that he is mentioned in the Elven timeline ??
2. Is there info on other faerunian Fiend Lords ??
Thanks |

The balor Wendonai is given a write-up. He played a role in the corruption of the Ilythiiri at Lolth's direction.
No further information on Malkizid.

Hmmm isnt Wendonai one of the Official 1ed Balors? (Theres a list of 6 named Balors in the back of the 1st edition DMs Guide one of which is Errtu)
I also recall that Eric Boyd asked Bpard members over at WOTC if we could name all the Balors that had appeared in the FR, I wonder if this is what he was working on |

Yes he is listed in the 1e DMG. :) I just looked. |
For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

What page is that on? I just glanced at mine, and 30 seconds of perusal did not reveal this list to me... |

Ah, thank you. And wow, what a good eye! I remember stuff from the 1st ed DMG ('twas the first D&D book I bought; I got it used for $6 in the late 80's), but a minor little detail like that one was not something I would have recalled unless I'd read it recently. |

I remembered it because I gave Eric a couple of Balor names when he asked about it last year
Speaking of Eric Boyd has anyone seen him on the boards recently? The last time I remeber seing him was around Crissy |

| No, haven't seen him. He is missed. He hasn't even posted any answers in his new sage thread. I bet he is just busy writing great stuff for upcoming Realms books. |

Well met
I am also awaiting a response from Eric. I assume he must be busy with other matters. Hopefully he will return soon. |

| For those buyers purchasing from online vendors, both Books A Million and Barnes & Noble are now showing this tome as available for purchase and shipment. Amazon still has it listed as not published yet. |

Considering that the book has not yet been seen in the country where the company is based, do you really want to complain about waiting until Friday? |

I did not see this on the shipment today at work(BAM). Last week I received a certain campaign setting's initial novel release that I ordered, and the shelf copies did not arrive until today. Most likely some stores will have this, the on-line vendors will also, and your FLGS better or there's not much reason for them to be in business! |
