Description

In homage to the DOS-based Advanced Dungeons and Dragons "Gold Box" game Pool of Radiance, again travel the worlds of the Forgotten Realms in this computer role-playing game.

Although the game begins in the city of Phlan, which was reclaimed in the previous game, the majority of the action takes place beneath Myth Drannor, once a beautiful city of peace, where men, elves and dwarves could live in peace and harmony, which is now in ruins.

Orisons and Cantrips, straight from the Dungeons & Dragons new 3rd edition rules. Features new character classes and races such as Barbarians, Monks, Paladins and Half-Orcs. Clerics and Sorcerers can cast over 100 spells. The Dungeon Master communicates all important findings and events throughout the game.

Has an old evil returned with more power and vengeance to strike fear in one of the most powerful of all men in Faerun known by all as Elminster? Or has a new evil been born? Find out in Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor!
