[QUOTE="MDSnowman, post: 1830784, member: 6255"] [B]Arms and Equipment Guide:[/B] Bleh nothing going on here that I couldn't live without. [B]Book of Exalted Deeds:[/B] I'd really want to use a few things in here, but I seldom am a player, and really what DM in their right mind would let me play my Warforged Battle Sorcerer/Dragon Disciple with the vow of poverty? [B]Epic Level Handbook: [/B] I [I]might[/I] use one of the monsters in it as a villain in a Warcraft RPG game... but there's just not enough in the book to make it worth what I paid. [B]Creature Collection (Unrevised):[/B] It's sitting inside of a box in my closet... 'nuff said. [B]Ghostwalk:[/B] Neat idea, but I hated how they implemented it.
