No Name said:I have mixed feelings about the Class Acts format change. I'm glad they're adding stuff for different classes, but leaving out alternate options for each core class is going to suck.
I'm something of the opposite. I found the current Class Acts section to be one of the weakest parts of the magazine. The ideas seemed to be either inherently of no use to me or limited by the amount of space. Plus, they were always rather narrowly scoped, by the nature of the per-class breakdown.
The new grouping is another indication that I may have to start paying attension to Dragon again. There seem to be quite a few of those, lately. I'd meant to pick up the Boccob issue (but forgot that there was actually something interesting coming -- looks like a trip to B&N is in order before they rotate their stock). Astrology is something I've been wanted to add to my setting for a while, but never had time to frame a basic rules structure, so I'm very much looking forward to seeing what Dragon's put together.
