[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 5526610, member: 2067"] The thread isn't about Heroes of Shadow, though. It's about the Book of Vile Darkness. Which is cool to me because it's not a splatbook full of randomly assembled character options. If you want to gripe about Heroes of Shadow, there's about 5 threads right there for ya. Yep. I make my characters via the CB almost exclusively, since it's easier to keep track of all of 4e's fiddly bits that way and to see most of my options at a quick glance without having to page through books and PDF files to find the exact feat that'll be awesome for my character. I had fun with my gnome assassin before, and I'm looking to put him back in the game in a way that better fits my original concept of him as a murderer, rather than a shadow-mage. But anyway, I have no idea what I'll be able to do with the BoVD. I'm pretty excited to find out, though! And I would not be so excited about [I]Powerful Power 3[/I], since it would just become another splatbook I ignore until I want to build a new character for my game. I mean, how many Brawler Fighters and Skirmishing Warlords have you personally played for 30 levels in a regular game so far? And if you haven't done that, but they're your favorite parts of the game, how does that exactly work? Don't you think you could make use a dose of something different alongside your favorite characters? [/QUOTE]
