[QUOTE="Henry, post: 1112962, member: 158"] Discussing the preview contents within grandma-friendly parameters is like navigating a minefield; however, what I can say is that the mechanics portion of the book seem a bit on the conservative side. In scale from, say, "Monte Cook" balance to "Psionics Handbook" balance, it leans more toward the balance of the latter. This may not be a bad thing, because those who will take most of the PrC's and feats will do so for flavor anyway, more so than for power. Flavor Text - If I were buying the full book, I would buy it in SPITE of the flavor text, not as part of my reasoning. The Fallen Cherubim has a fascinating power, one that can generate enough roleplay hooks to keep a party going for a while. ([i]The Queen must be protected from the Bandit leader/Orc leader/Otyugh at ALL COSTS![/i]) Other thoughts as they come to me. Gotta work now. :) [/QUOTE]
