Greetings! We wrote so much information for Lands of Mystery that it didnt all fit in the book. What to do withall that extra material? Give it away, of course!

LANDSOFMYSTERYWEBBONUSES

FROMCHAPTER6: CIVILIZATIONSThe following sections were cut from Chapter 6.

Dragon ErrataLands of Mystery incorrectly describes all blue

dragons as able to cast spells. This is incorrect;

many blue dragons, especially young ones, cannot

cast spells. Therefore, eliminate the Spells special

attack for both blue whelps and blue drakes.

This change also reduces the dragons ChallengeRatings. The new CRs are: blue whelp 5, blue drake

15.

However, note that dragons who can cast spellsdo not need spellbooks. They store their spell

knowledge in a separate part of their minds, as

described in the book.

Blue Dragon Whelpsas Player Characters

Blue dragons are guardians of magic. The

constantly seek magical knowledge and artifacts inorder to prevent evil forces from discovering them.

A blue dragon might take human form and workwith mortals to further his understanding of the

world, as well as to discover items of power. While

the numbers of the blue dragonflight are few, blue

dragons grow more confident about reentering theoutside world, and many find the thrill of a life

outside their cavern homes exhilarating.

The blue dragon characters described here are of

the youngest age category (whelps). Some alteration isrequired to play an older dragon; talk to your GM.

Names: The majority of blue dragon names use

gos as a suffix. Additionally, many blue dragonsare named after the color of blue their scalesresemble, i.e. Azuregos.

Blue Dragon WhelpRacial Traits +4 Strength, +6 Intellect, +2 Spirit, +4

Charisma. Blue dragons are strong, charismatic,and possess an iron will, but more than anything,

they are highly intelligent, and masters of the

arcane arts.

Medium: As Medium creatures, blue dragon whelps

have no special bonuses or penalties due to size.

Blue dragon base land speed is 40 feet. Additionally,they can fly at a speed of 150 feet with poor

maneuverability, and have a swim speed of 60 feet.

Darkvision: Blue dragon whelps can see in the dark

up to 120 feet. Darkvision is black and white, but itis otherwise just like normal sight.

Breath Weapon (Su): Blue dragon whelps can usea breath weapon as a standard action. This weapon

is a 30-foot cone of cold. Creatures caught in thecone take 1d6 points of cold damage per two of

the blue dragons HD (minimum 1d6), Reflex half

(DC 10 + 1/2 blue dragons HD + blue dragons

Sta modifier). Creatures that fail this save alsosuffer a mana burn effect as a 4th-level caster (Will

negates; DC 10 + 1/2 blue dragons HD + blue

dragons Cha modifier).

Spell-Like Abilities: 3/day detect thoughts,wavesend*; 2/day fog cloud; 1/day control

weather, waterworks*. Caster level 1/2 HD; save

DC 10 + spell level + blue dragons Cha modifier.* See Lands of Mystery, Chapter 9: New Rules. Spells: A blue dragon casts spells as a mage of a

level equal to half his Hit Dice. These levels stack

with actual mage levels for spellcasting purposes;

a blue dragon whelp 2nd-level mage, for example,casts spells as a 3rd-level mage.

Unlike other magi, blue dragons do not need

spellbooks to prepare their spells; rather, a blue

dragon stores his spell knowledge in a separate partof his mind that functions as a spellbook blue

dragons effectively have the Spell Mastery feat for

all the spells they know. A blue dragon can learn a

new spell from a scroll, spellbook or other sourcejust as any other mage can, except he does not

need to scribe it into a spellbook and thus spends

no money to do so. Blindsense (Ex): Blue dragons can pinpoint creatures

within a distance of 60 feet. Opponents the dragon

cant actually see still have total concealment against

the dragon.

Immunities (Ex): All blue dragons are immune tocold, sleep, and paralysis effects.

Water Breathing (Ex): A blue dragon can

breathe underwater indefinitely and can use his

breath weapon, spells, and other abilities whilesubmerged.

Skills: Blue dragons have a +8 racial bonus on

Swim checks to perform a special action or avoid a

hazard. In addition, blue dragons can always chooseto take 10 on a Swim check, even when distracted

or endangered. He can use the run action while

swimming, provided he swims in a straight line.

Automatic Languages: Common and Draconic. Bonus Languages: Darnassian, Dwarven, Goblin,

and Thalassian. Blue dragons have associated with

the elves for the centuries, and more recently they

Page from a Tattered JournalFound in an unimpressive stretch of icy rock in

Northrend.Ten more were taken this week, and I fear that I

will soon join them. The tusked ones have grown

impatient again, and the livestock that we raise are

no longer sufficient to sate their voracious appetites.I thank the spirits that Elisa is too small for them

to consider her a meal. Sometimes I wonder why

I continue to live under these conditions. With so

many friends dead, I now know there is little or nohope for my future. The thought of escape crosses

my mind each day, but their hunters are too swift

and too skilled. Perhaps the ruins we have been

exploring will hold salvation, but my dreams showme only further darkness.

We first found the ruins almost a month ago,

and Im confident that some of the objects we

found there were magical, but none of us know

how to use them. We havent found any weapons just pots and other random objects but I

suspect we wouldnt be able to do much even if we

did find a weapon or two among the objects. Still,

this ruin is the best hope we have of escape, eitherthrough finding something useful or just digging

deep enough to create a place to hide. Our time

is running out.

By the time I found the page, whatever ruins

he spoke of had long eroded into dust. I hope the

writer found what he was seeking, but his chances

were bleak. The journal contained a few otherreadable pages, but I have yet to transcribe them

into modern Common. I suspect the ruin he found

was probably created by the titans, and thus I findit intriguing. I have to wonder if magnataur settled

in that area intentionally, perhaps one of their

shaman detecting the magical aura in the area.

Whatever the reasoning, the ruin seems to havecompletely disappeared, or the writing could have

been transpor ted but I find that unlikely. I dont

see any reason why the journal would have been

goblin engineers.

Favored Class: Mage. A multiclass blue dragonwhelps mage class does not count when determining

whether he suffers an XP penalty for multiclassing

(see World of Warcraft the Roleplaying Game,

Chapter Three: Classes, Multiclass Characters,XP for Multiclass Characters).

Level Adjustment: +5.

MagnataurThe following information was cut from the magnataur

section.

works on machinery, and lasts a lot longer! If we can

do that, we can make even huge, bulky engines small

enough to fit in a car! But our problem is, we blew

up our last gnomish shrink ray last week, so we needanother one. We know a gnome in Steamwheedle

Port who owes us a favor, so if you could go get one

from him, that would be great. Ill pay you 200 gold,

and if you get it back here in 3 days and we win therace, Ill double your fee!

Sounds simple enough. If the players agree, Arty writesthem a signed note telling the Steamwheedle gnome,

Felya Waterfinder, that hes collecting on his debt,

and to hand over the device to these duly appointed

representatives, et cetera, et cetera. The playersmust then travel to Steamwheedle Port and back in 3

days (which doesnt give them a lot of time to standaround). Some possible kinks to throw in (besides

a random encounter or two along the way): Felya can make the ray gun, but doesnt

have the parts. The players have to rush back to

Gadgetzan to get them, which could make them

late. If they bribe her with 100 gp, though, shellcome along, so they dont have to come all the

way back to the port. They can use Diplomacy to

knock this down to 50 gp.

While the goblins arent sure what theplayers are up to, they saw them chatting with

the gnomes so somethings up. They send a

team to follow the party, potentially leading to afight (or a goblin thief trying to make off with theshrink ray).

The heroes may have a tinker in the party

whos capable of making a gnomish shrink ray

(or thinks he is). Making a ray with a durationlong enough for the racer increases the Craft

(technological device) DCs by 5. Let the character

try to make the device, but keep the result roll

secret until the race. If he failed his check, therace begins normally but suddenly the gnome

car shrinks to about 1/4 normal size and

speed! Needless to say, the gnomes arent toohappy with this result.If the players get the ray gun, they get paid,

and the gnomes put it to good use, shifting the

die roll by 1 in their favor on race day. If they win,

they give the shrink ray to the party as a bonusgift, since they dont need it any more. It used

most of its oomph in the race, so now its a normal

shrink ray.

See the Alliance Players Guidefor a descriptionof the gnomish shrink ray.

FROMCHAPTER7: ADVENTURESThe following information was cut from the Off to

the Races adventure in Chapter 7.

Gnomish Miniaturization DeviceOnce the players are alone, Arty Sandgunner

approaches them (in much the same way Izzik does

privately). He thanks them for returning the engine and

asks if they might be able to help out. The nasty goblinswill do anything to win, including try to steal gnomish

property! Not only that, theyll try to make off with

intellectual property, too. Thats why he needs the help

of someone not associated with the raceway.He tells the players:

Everyone knows about the fantastic invention

called a gnomish shrink ray, right? Well, the onlybad thing about it is it only lasts a few seconds. Ill let

you in on a secret were trying to make one that
