Complete Adventurer is Rogues/Bards book!

[Azazyll]

Adventurer is just as anonymous as expert. All of the classes are experts at something (despite the bard's catchphrase of "jack of all trades"). When most people think of adventures in the modern sense, it's more along the lines of the rogue or the bard. Think of Bilbo Baggins, the Burglar, Indiana Jones (who certainly has levels of rogue or bard), or even the annoying main voice in Lady Hawke played by farris beuler. All of these are classic Adventurers, all are connected with the kind of skills this book is trying to describe. Look at teh awful D&D movie (or don't, and take my word for it) the main character is a rogue. The "Dungeon Delver" prestige class in Song and Silence (I think that was the name, I could hardly bare to read that awful book) is another example of how the rogue typifies Adventurer in a way that the other classes don't. Sure, a priest, a fighter, a wizard, they all go on adventures. But there's a certain charm and (using the word and not the class) roguishness that goes with the word adventurer, a slightly derogatory tone that comes with it, that the rogue and bard have in a way the other classes do not. I, for one, approve of it much more than complete expert.

Adventurer's a good name, I think. Complete Expert lacks something.

Also, when a rogue character is asked what he is, he won't say "I'm a rogue", especially if it's a city official who's doing the asking. He'll probably say "I'm an adventurer!"

They could have called the book "Complete Wealth-Redistributor" ;-)

Enough about the title, let's begin speculation!

Warlock could = Wu Jen, with just a more generic name...or it could be something different...

Warmage is probably d6 hp battle-sorcerer-thing...or maybe the one from the MiniHB?

Scout sounds like a wilderness rogue, really...prolly some ranger-esque abilities + sneak attack, isntead of trap-based abilities...

Spellthief....wonder if they steal spells (sweet!) or they're just a rogue with spellcasting powers (pretty lame...)

Does anyone know if the Shifter PrC will ever see a 3.5 update?

Wayfarer Guide

Its from Tome and Blood. Its a three level PRc in there.

I'm curious about this as well. Originally, I had thought it should appear in Complete Divine; however, as versatile as this class is (and given the MotW version's lack of spellcasting focus) it could just as easily appear in final book of the series, though I still don't hold out much hope

Perhaps shifter PrC will be in Frostburn.

God, the cost!

My question, MrFilthyIke, is two-fold. First, do you work for Wizards?Secondly, if you do, then why do the books that are 400+ pages cost $39.99?
I'm sure that they don't cost that much to produce and I know that there isn't some government book tax similar to the tax levied on fuel in the UK that amounts to 75% of total price. I'm not trying to deny WotC a right to profit from their material. But, there comes a point where the cost can become to
prohibitive for some people, say children. And that was ultimately what killed TSR and allowed them to be bought out by Wizards because they didn't pay attention to developing a new consumer base and they became complacent in thinking that they could raise prices and the demand would still be there. I know that it wasn't a drop in creative quality that caused this, because new and wonderful ideas were coming out of that company towards the end of its run. I hope you don't take offense to this, I am just hoping that if you have any link to WotC that you will think about this and maybe suggest to someone to lower prices a tad for the good of all concerned. Then there will be much rejoicing!
