Rolled an 18 and didn't want to mess with the percentile? Be a "wood elf"! 19 Str... mwahahaha.Halflings&Gnomes: I loved halflings, hated gnomes... so I had mixed feelings here.  I still have anger that they lumped halflings in with the dwarf-kin-wanna-bes.Fighter's: my first Complete book (first of the series, IIRC), new Weapon/Non-Weapon Profs (roughly similiar to feats and skill-tricks), and some decent kits.  My group used just about everything in this book at least once.Humanoid's: some great races to be had here.Ninja's: awesome book, for the Shinobi-Thief kit and martial arts rules alone.Psionicist's: Psi was rather... ahem... broken.  But my groups at the time had alot of fun with this book.Sha'ir's (Al-Qadim): This book, as I understand it, flew under the radar.  I picked it up in 98 and it became part of my top 5 books that went everywhere I expected to play AD&D.Thieves': mediocre kits, awesome fluff, good equipment.~~other stuff~~Council of Wyrms: An awesome campaign setting.  See, you start out as Dragon hatchlings!! It was frickin' awesome.  We eventually used it in our normal campaigns as well.  A crystal-dragon-hatchling was roughly equal to a well made 4th lvl Fighter.  Roughly.Darksun: one of my favorite campaign settings of all time.Jakandor: A group of three books detailing a small campaign setting.  You had the Knorr on one side (kind of American Native / Norse "savages") and the Charonti (sp?) on the other (High magic race who use thier dead for labor and have advances in all 8 schools of magic).  both human, total opposites.  I know I'm not doing it justice here though, it was great stuff.Masque of the Red Death (Ravenloft): Gothic Horror in the 1890s!! This was an amazing boxset.  I regret that I didn't run this as much as I wanted to.Planescape: best setting ever.Player's Option: Spells&Magic was the best of the three.  Combat&Tactics gave a glimpse of what where 3e would take us (heavy on the grid-combat).Requiem boxset (Ravenloft): rules for Undead PCs.  Another awesome edition to our 2e campaign.Tome of Magic: great bookVolo's Guide to all things Magicial: love it or hate it... Spellfire Channeler rules were here.  And they were badass.</blockquote>
