Arm Yourself Against the Vile Darkness With the Strength of the Heavens

December 19, 2002 (Renton, Wash.) -- Monte Cook finally gives divine-magic users equal time. The new Book of Hallowed Might, a clerical counterpart to his popular Book of Eldritch Might series, is on sale today from Malhavoc Press.

The Book of Hallowed Might offers exciting options for workers of divine magic, such as a variant paladin class, alternate alignment system, plus more than 100 new spells, feats, magic items, creatures, and prestige classes. This sourcebook is the perfect resource for clerics, paladins, druids, and rangers going up against the evil magic of The Book of Vile Darkness.

"So often, users of divine magic get short shrift in new sourcebooks full of spells," Monte said. "So this book is especially for them, using the format of our previous arcane sourcebooks. If you liked the Books of Eldritch Might, you will find a lot to like about this book as well."

The Book of Hallowed Might comes as a 48+ page, illustrated PDF file with a streamlined page design to minimize file size for faster downloading and conserve ink for quicker printing. The book features the black-and-white artwork of Arne Swekel and a cover illustration from rk post. This electronic edition, regularly priced at $8, is available now from online retailers for the sale price of only $6. The book is suitable for characters of all levels and any fantasy campaign. Fans can sample previews of the art and new feats and spells free.

Monte launched Malhavoc Press in May 2001 with the publication of the first The Book of Eldritch Might, which won three EN World d20 System Awards for excellence. Hallmarks of Malhavoc Press and Monte's game design include unusual magic, monsters, and evocative game elements that go beyond traditional fantasy, as well as a mastery of the d20 System rules that only one of the game's original designers can offer. All current Malhavoc Press titles are available in electronic format at this site. Print versions are published by Sword & Sorcery™.

Monte Cook started professionally in the game industry in 1988. In the employ of Iron Crown Enterprises he worked on the Rolemaster and Champions games as an editor, developer, and designer. In 1994 Monte came to TSR as a game designer. As a senior game designer with Wizards of the Coast, he co-created the new edition of Dungeons & Dragons (the basis of the d20 System) and authored the Dungeon Master's Guide, The Book of Vile Darkness, and a d20 version of Call of Cthulhu.
