A couple more apparent errors in the Dorastor book:

1. There's a Humakti (Platewalker) listed as having the Berserk spell.
2. Skath & Skanth have HPs and damage mods all wrong, considering their configuration; they ought to be figured separately.

The reviews posted here haven't done justice to the interior illustra- tions, especially the woodcuts, which are terrific. I was disappointed in the cover art; I would much rather see good b/w art there than this crummy Dobyskian stuff.

Also, while we're on the merchant god discussion, the one thing that seems extremely weird to me about Issaries is the restriction on theft. I never heard of a Real World god who drew such a distinction; usually their cultures consider both trading and thievery to be dishonorable activities.
