[QUOTE="Tenbones, post: 1245538, member: 7499"] Great Chapter, agreed. Worth the entire price of admission? Negative! WotC books cost a LOT. I do expect higher quality books? Yes. But more importantly, I want the material to justify the cost more than anything else. Based on that, I totally disagree. I suppose here is where we differ in playstyles. The Core Rules are completely vanilla to me and my group. We've squeezed the use out of every rule since first edition and we tend to delight in new things if they pass the plausibility test. In other words, if it's been in canon or tradition in previous editions, it's fair game for a 3e version, ESPECIALLY if it's never been seen before. Case in point, The WotC has the Drow Judicator PrC. It adds some interesting depth towards the direction a drow warrior might proceed, instead of the whole "fighter is a fighter is a fighter" cookie-cutter pov. Now back to the Judicator, does it pass the plausibility test? Sure! We've suspected roles like this would have to exist in Drow society, and poof! there it is. Saying this role is fit for a fighter alone is doing the game mechanics a huge injustice IMHO. Now applying this concept across the board, Underdark Adventures shines. You have a small PrC package that completely discerns the character from the run of the mill and average. The House Swordmaster, very cool. The Surface Raider, which before seeing this PrC I'd have written off as a Ranger. The PrC however makes it more than being a ranger. And the House Avenger, how can this not be cool?! Both books are cool, but the WotC gives me only the tongue tip taste of what I want. Agreed! The WotC book is BEAUTIFUL. [/QUOTE]
