Reply To: D&D officially turning Forgotten Realms sights away from Euro inspired campaigns

I doubt you will see any changes to the survival skill, it’s quite high level and d&d isn’t really skill heavy.  Also, it would mean having to redesign character sheets just for that source book so it’s unlikely to be changed.  There might be environment rules for deserts themselves but survival in them is unlikely to require a new skill.

I think many of the most common monster types are probably already in the monstrous manual – I would be really surprised if there isn’t already rules for a giant Scorpion and Rocs.

Turbans are quite interesting because unlike hats they can be worn over a helmet.  So a turban is just an accessory, enchanted turbans on the other hand can be worn by armoured and unarmoured characters alike and can probably also be combined with a helmet.  Flying Carpets as a magic item could be interesting.

Expanding the Genie monster type (there are some in the monstrous manual already) would be nice.  A new Pantheon of Gods and rules for playing clerics of those Gods is also an absolute must as far as I am concerned, it needs to feel like somewhere else.
