Publication history
Masters of the Wild was written by David Eckelberry and Mike Selinker and published in February 2002 by Wizards of the Coast.[1] Cover art was by Jeff Easley, with interior art by Dennis Cramer, David Day, and Wayne Reynolds.
According to Eckelberry: "we looked at much of the previously published material on the "nature classes," but spent more time examining how the subjects of this book work in the new D&D. Since we had a bit more time post-release of the new edition of D&D than the other books in this series, we were able to listen to people we gamed with and to fans we met online and at conventions. They had a lot of things to say about what we'd be dealing with in Masters of the Wild."[2]
It was not updated to 3.5 Edition, although most of the prestige classes were reintroduced in the 3.5 supplemental sourcebook Complete Divine.
