I'm more likely to listen to someone who posts here who actually uses stuff from thier books and plays the game than someone who is just reading and sees something that might not mesh. Actually play is important to me, theorizing (is that even a word?) about "broken" rules is not. I'm a gamer. I think that your feelings are pretty acurate in this matter and that alot of people should differentiate between something that works or doesnt work and thier own personal tastes. There are plenty of things that I see in books that I dont particularly care for but if theyre mechanically sound, theyre sound especially if they've been tested in play. I saw a few people here go on about Book of the Nine Swords and Tome of Magic, about how they didnt like the new rules and such and a few comments about things looked overpowered and broken, but very few of the people talking even used anything from the books. After a while when people began using stuff from the Tome of Magic it seemed that we actually got some real criticism of the material that was worth something. I'd even go as few to suggest that instead of a single category of reviews we should have two. The first being the pre-play review just bascially telling people what's in the book and then later on a review of how several elements work in actual play and the circumstances that they were used.</blockquote>
