[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 6685311, member: 2209"] I really like the archfiends sections in Book of Vile Darkness, even having bought the superior [URL="http://www.rpgnow.com/browse.php?keywords=fiendish+codex&cPath=9730_9731&author=&artist=&pfrom=&pto=&x=0&y=0&affiliate_id=17596"]Fiendish Codexes[/URL], I later bought and found neat things in BoVD. Thrall classes are decent conceptually as is the Ur-Priest, though there are mechanical issues. Everyone loves the cancer mage. Vile did not impress me though or a number of other things. It is not great across the board but there are good parts. I was really disappointed in [URL="http://www.rpgnow.com/product/25928/Book-of-Exalted-Deeds-35?cPath=9730_9731&it=1&affiliate_id=17596"]The Book of Exalted Deeds[/URL]. I found its discussion of good particularly poor and the specific requirements for exalted status to be problematic, taking potential problems and issues of ways to interpret and implement paladins and squaring them.
