I wonder how much of the info from those guides confused people for years.
It is from the first edition, some of these mistakes were corrected in the revised edition later lol. A lot of poor people were confused for many years I am sure.

A few more goodies:

1. In the section describing the Stat Wisdom, it says: "Wisdom helps resist spells that affect your mind."

2. Here are two paragraphs from the "Words to the Wise: Races" chapter regarding Iksars:

- "Master Taunters. There is no better race than the Iksar for sheer taunting ability - they have Dual Wield from the outset. To add extra oomph to the skill, try an Iksar Monk. Yowza!"

They seem to suggest Iksars get Dual Wield naturally. That would have been awesome.

- "Know the score. Iksar are a remarkably rounded-out race... not short, not weak, not night-blind. They've got an extra attack (the tail), can Duel Wield, and are excellent tanks and casters. The drawback, and it's a big drawback, is that they are universally despised and feared. Of course, that has it's own charm, in a way."

Here they seem to suggest Iksar's also get an additional attack with their tail.

3. They have a "Spellcaster Issues" section. Within that section, they claim: "Charisma is a good thing for a spellcaster - higher charisma gives a slightly better chance of success (or at least fewer resists by mobs that aren't conning red)".

I assume they are talking about Charming, since they delve into using Charisma with Charming in the next paragraph, but the wording and paragraph order could easily confuse someone.
