Complete Adventurer -- Anyone got it yet?

It's supposed to be out on the shelves today.

I want to know about the Daggerspell Adept PrC for druid/rogue multiclassed characters; and any other listing of stuff is welcome.

I'm going to head down to the FLGS either later today or tommorrow to see if they've got it...they got Races of Destiny on the release date so hopefully they'll have CAdv

Amazon says that it won't be released for another couple of weeks, and the WotC site only says 'January 2005'. Argh.

Anyone know if the new Eberron module has been released yet?

My FLGS has received it. I just might go over ther RIGHT NOW because I have nothing better to do...

Got it. Thanks for the reminder.

It's a very nice book. I think I am going to like this best of the series. More of the stuff is fresh than easier books. It has an organization not unlike FFG's path books, with prestige classes up front, organizations in the back, and a variety of variants and options stuffed in the middle.

Glad to see psionics support (yay!). The shadowmind here isn't the one from the Mind's Eye... it's a psion/rogue combo. Neat, though. I'd use it in a heartbeat.

They did continued spell advancement right, always costing you at least one casting level. Yay!

Daggerspell stuff for Gez... there are two daggerspell classes, daggerspell mage (rog/sor or wiz) and daggerspell shaper (rog/druid). Can cast spells with daggers in their hand, and learn related abilities as they advance levels. Example, the dagger claws ability of the daggerspell shaper lets them use properties of the daggers on claws in their wildshape form... but you knew that was coming, right?

Still has the problem with the NPCs. Love the NPC samples, find repeating descriptions from the previous page a waste of space...

Something about these two PrCs strikes me as, well I guess overly obscure would be the word for it. Maybe overly focused too. The daggerspell mage I can see, as daggers are weapons commonly associated with rogues, and to a lesser extent, with mages (particularly in older additions), but the daggerspell shaper seems like a really bizarro choice for a PrC.

I don't imagine there are all that many rogue/druids to begin with, and I don't see many of them focusing their skills on daggers. Just seems like it takes a fairly rare multiclass, and then drops a second level of rarity right on top of it.


Glad to see psionic stuff. That's always welcome.

How are the "singing paladin" type feats? Are there are a good number of them?

And is the bard still the redheaded step child of class support?

 

[Altamont Ravenard]

I have the book.

I'll start another thread.

Can you describe in greater detail the Scout and the Spelltheif. BAB, Saves, Skill points, and an overview of their special abilities.

Thanks
