'Veil dwarf' is a result of my poor keyboarding. It's supposed to be 'evil.' :)

Obmi is, well, Obmi From Canonfire (http://www.canonfire.com/wiki/index.php?title=Obmi):

Obmi, sometimes called Lord Obmi, is a murderous mountain dwarf fighter and member of Iuz's Boneshadow. Originally from the Crystalmists, he is known as "the Hammer of Iuz" due to his use of the dwarven throwing hammer, and "Obmi the Wily" for his cunning.
Obmi appears in the Gord the Rogue novels as an enemy of Gord, Leda, and Eclavdra....Obmi first appeared in Gary Gygax's original Castle Greyhawk campaign between 1972 and 1973, where he was placed in an old magical laboratory in the center of the third level of the dungeon. Gygax gave him boots of speed, a dwarven thrower, and several gnoll henchmen. He also had a magical device that shot a ray that teleported the PCs to another part of the dungeon if they failed their saves. After many unsuccessful attempts, the PCs (the Citadel of Eight) finally destroyed the device, but Obmi escaped. Their hatred of Obmi did not diminish.

From reading bighara's post about centaurs over on Echoes From the Geekcave, I realized I didn't include hoof attacks for Centaur PC's.

If I do, it may go something like this:
"Centaurs can attack EITHER with a weapon or 2 hooves. The hooves deal 1d4/1d4 of damage. At 5th level and higher, they deal 1d6/1d6."

Anthony - thanks! In fact, I like the Centaur a little better too. I need to go back and watch The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe again. Which one was Obmi? And what is a veil dwarf?

Thanks Christian! And Loviatar rocks, man. I love reading those hex crawls. Cool artwork too.

I am really digging this series. :)

Nice. I like this better than the ogre. As a general rule, I prefer the "Free Peoples" to the "Monster Races." (Not the ogre is bad, mind you.)

On the flip side, when I watched "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" for the first time, I had this thought that the veil dwarf would have fit nicely in Greyhawk; sort of like Obmi. :)
