[QUOTE="Warpiglet-7, post: 8175796, member: 7025282"] I won’t touch the out of game concerns that apparently the book has been shaped by. Others can if they wish. I only mention it because some missteps seem to be directly linked to these issues. for me it’s a mixed bag like most D&D non core books and a needed purchase for most players. the art is great technically and if you like D&D characters wearing glasses you are in luck. If you like tieflings and weird stuff you will be doubly surprised and delighted. So while I think the art is top notch I don’t like the subjects much. Hard to find cool looking warriors in D&D books these days. it’s impossible to find medieval inspired knights and footmen. If you like sci-if looking characters wearing spectacles and tieflings you will feel differently. Not a bearded dwarf or cool looking human warrior in the bunch. The feats in my opinion are very fun. You can come close to multiclassing via feats and 1/3 casters now. Warlock options are cool and options for invocations and feats make them fresh again. If you are really experienced, the patrons and options might seem redundant. However I like the flavor and reminders myself. I think it’s a good book overall with the caveat of that I don’t like the new direction of story focus and radical departure from any semblance of medieval fantasy. Ymmv. [/QUOTE]
