This invaluable new supplement for the Forgotten Realms campaign setting provides a wealth of new and previously scattered material in a single volume. Players and Dungeon Masters alike will benefit from expanded material, including everything from race and regional info to new magic items and spells. Optional rules for expanded gameplay cover such topics as epic-level play and use of psionics. This title also both updates Forgotten Realms roleplaying gameplay to the D&D v.3.5 rules and informs players as to the latest events and changes throughout the setting via background story content.
