[QUOTE="Celtavian, post: 257310, member: 5834"] [b]Re[/b] [B]Faiths and Pantheons[/B] Best thing about this book is the Specialty Priest classes, if you already have the old 2nd edition FRCS Faiths and Avatars, Demihuman Deities, and Powers and Pantheons. This book covers the actual faiths in less detail than the previous 2nd edition books, which was disappointing to me. I don't know why they listed God stats. I keep wondering if people actually requested that they give stats to the Gods. I know I didn't want the Gods to have stats. To me, they are gods, not some enemy I play to send the PC's against. [B]Magic of Faerun[/b] From a DM's perspective, not buying this book is really screwing over your players. There are some great spells, prestige class, and just general information included in this tome. It is one of the better books they have made. As far as warrior versus wizard balance, the balance should come because your wizard can't go toe to toe with your warrior. Wizards or priests should be stronger than the warrior given time to prepare. Magic is far stronger than a steel sword. In Forgotten Realms, the wizards are the power. That is why so many rulers are wizards rather than warriors. Every single major Empire in the Forgotten Realms is ruled by a wizard or has a wizard as a major figure. That is the Forgotten Realms, it is high magic. Personally, I like it that way. It fits more in line with the Fantasy books I have read such as Lord of the Ring, the Arthurian Legends, and many Forgotten Realms novels. Magic of Faerun is an awsome book that adds alot to any Forgotten Realms game. I can't wait to pick up the Silver Marches and the Epic Level Handbook. I have two characters I am playing now that were born in Silverymoon. This will help me flesh out their backgrounds. [/QUOTE]
