[QUOTE="martinlochsen, post: 7727209, member: 6789094"] I think the biggest problem with this book really, is that it lacks anything that makes me excited. It seems to cover a lot of stuff that I never thought was missing from the game. Most of the content seems fine. I find nothing here to be hostile to (except the SCAG reprints - it's a really weird decision to include those, AL or no AL), but there's nothing that makes me say "Yay, finally! There's that thing that I wanted!". WoTC is doing a real good job getting feedback on the designs they are making, but I wonder if they should pay more attention to what content people actually want, in stead of just checking if people like the stuff they have already made? There are so many things people seem to be asking for in the forums around the net, and none of that is in the book. Rules on psionics, better crafting rules, perhaps a full blown Gish class, instead of the plethora of subclasses that seem to be rather controversial, most of them, just to name a few. I'll probably buy the book, but all in all it's a bit disappointing, more because of what isn't there, than because of what is. [/QUOTE]
