[QUOTE="Moulin Rogue, post: 113403, member: 1192"] With a year's perspective it does really look like S&F was hurt by coming out so early, I know I've read around here somewhere that the 3e quality control council wasn't quite set up yet when it was in production. They never [i]did[/i] manage to explain the logic of the stump knife's special damage quality either, did they? :D And that part about how the fighter class works for the different races just feels like a leftover chunk of "Hero Builder's Guidebook" (if you're a half-elf and you roll good scores, you get to keep them!), as nothing like this ever appeared in subsequent classbooks. That said, I agree with those who have already pointed out its good qualities, like most of the PrCs and quite a few feats. The Swashbuckler is a big fantasy archetype. I found DotF the most useful for day-to-day stuff with the temples, but T&B was a close second and had some very cool PrCs (...Alienist....). I don't have the last two classbooks yet. [/QUOTE]
