Did the original official guide contain much lore?

[myxomatosii]

The favorite part of the book I had (and still have) was the little blurbs about a gnome sneaking through an ogre city, or an erudite getting lost in the woods and barely escaping the sacrifice-seeking necromancers. If there is any interest I'll take photos of a bunch of them and upload them.

Merchants won't sell to erudites, guards will attack them or some jim crowe bullshit.

Dexterity makes you attack faster

Prima guides are usually sold, as a 3-pack: Spell Guide, New players handbook and something else...

Handbook is a fun read occasionally, has a bit of race-specific lore.
For more lore I recommend Maps of Myrist - big book, can grab it cheap on Amazon.

Prima spell book is extremely useful, I've been using it for many years!
It is actually closer to p99 than to Live now, since it was released around PoP. So, all the spell levels are correct, just need to ignore few post-classic spells.
