Hello Vincent,
I just got a copy of Hyboria's Fallen over Christmas and I noticed that the entire section on poisons seems to have been copied directly from the text of Bastion Press's Pale Designs, a Poisoner's Handbook. All the poisons are exactly the same with relation to stats, onset time, duration, damage, DC, and cost and the descriptive texts are also near exact copies (the only real changes were some gramatical shifts and naming of locations to make them seem campaign specific) of the original versions in Pale Designs. Pale Designs came out first quarter of 2002 and isn't credited at all in the back of the book after the OGL sheet where it should be. Is this on purpose or did someone simply copy the information without informing you?
Thanks for the answer.
