Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lord Pendragon" data-source="post: 59901" data-attributes="member: 707">Actually, I just got BoEM2 yesterday, and I have to say I'm really impressed with it.Prestige Classes:  Neat.  I like the ones in this book better than the Mirror Master and Graven One of the first book.  They seem very stylish and unique, which is what I look for in my PrCs.Alt Classes:  Well, I absolutely hated Monte's Ranger as a pure powergaming vehicle, but I was impressed with the alt. bard and alt. sorcerer.  They seem balanced.  I'm thinking of showing a current player (who plays a bard) the variant and allowing her to change her character if she'd like.  As for multiclassing, I don't really see a problem.  So a rogue can be invisible for one round.  It's strong, but not game-breaking, IMO.Soul Magic:  Very, very nice.  It works on so many levels.  It's a stable mechanic which can allow anything from spellcasters that don't provide treasure to PCs to plot hooks to neat one-time bonus powers with a price.Spells:  Haven't looked at them closely for balance yet, but they didn't seem overpowered too badly.  Since Monte's spells are mainly meant to be slowly introduced into a campaign through lost tomes, etc. (Monte even makes a statement to that general effect) I don't have a problem with them being stronger than ordinary spells.  Finding a BoEM spell is a treat for a wizard, a reward if you will.All in all, another fine product from the best non-WoTC publisher out there.  Thanks Monte.  And all that for 7 bucks, to boot.</blockquote>
