Things From TFL Strat Guide

I finally finished reading it last night, and wrote down some of the interesting things I came across. Not much usefull story info in there, though there's some stuff about Dreams and Fetch magic.

(Page numbers correspond to pages in the PDF. Pages in the book are 11 numbers back; ie, PDFpage 12 is Bookpage 1).

Page 15: The difficulty levels use the names from Marathon.

Page 28: The Bow of Stoning was originally meant to appear on Silvermines (fitting, since you're recovering the Watcher's arm there, adn you later use it to stone him).

Page 37: The Fetch is described as using the "Lightning Dream". So Fetch lightning is a dream, channeled into reality from their otherworldly gods.

Page 39: Archer are of "above average speed". WTF!?

Page 40-42: There are two types of magic, natural abilities and dreams. Jmen's mandrake roots are natural abilities, as is Fetch lightning (despite the above, it seems). The only Dream described is the Dispersal Dream.

Page 53: There's a picture of a Griffin!

Page 66: You had to escape after killing the Mayor on "A Traitor's Grave"

Page 104: Those Jman statues on Bagrada are "broken city gates". Was there once a city in Bagrada?

Page 110: Though it is called 'Challenging State' elsewhere, Ambush At Devil's Overlook has its proper name on this page at least.

Page 119: Apparently, it used to be that if you turned around and ran at the beginning of "The Five Champions", you lost.

Page 125: Despite the above (Page 28), the Bow of Stoning is described as being on Out of the Barrier, as it actually is. And, apparently, you started on the north-center of the map, instead of the far west.

Page 133: There's that Griffin again! Apparently he, and other figures, just appear randomly about the book as decorative art.

Page 184: The Bow Of Furious Incandescance is just called the Bow Of Lightning.

Page 219: Balor's ranged attack is described as the "Lightning Dream". Maybe that's what confused the author WRT the Fetch on pages 37 and 40-42. I think, given the GURPS info, the Fetch's lightning is a Dream (though their ability to channel magic may be natural, like the Jmen), and Balor's is just a more powerfull version thereof.

Page 220: Alric can use his Eblis Stone for a greater distance in the shots shown here than in the actual game.
