I've Got Lone Wolf!

[Bran Blackbyrd]

ummm...what is Lone Wolf about? *not joking* I never heard of it till now.

Andrew D. Gable pretty much summed it up.
Lone Wolf books were like those "Choose Your Own Adventure" books, except you also had hit points, special areas of expertise, items you could collect and use, etc.
For more info and access to online versions of the books go to Project Aon

I think Mongoose did a pretty good job. I don't care for the Knight of Sommerlund, but the rest is good.

I don't think that abilities you get when level up should have penalties associated with them. Especially since the other classes don't have such penalties. And especially since the penalties seem to far outweigh the benefits the class provides. The Code of Valor penalty in particular, is not only stupid but pretty much guarantees either PC death, or excessive metagaming so the PC can avoid death.

Personally, I consider it poor game design. However, to his credit, August Hahn did a great job of capturing the feel of the Kai Lord as a 20 level class.
