[QUOTE="fafhrd, post: 1838389, member: 18517"] It's likely my bias coming out here, but I am none too keen on what I'm hearing so far. Here's the break down. The Complete Warrior: a balanced book that does as it says and offers something for most characters while focusing on the fighting types. The Complete Divine: fails to offer much for non-divine classes and manages to expand the use and power of the turning ability far beyond the powerful but narrow definition it classically enjoyed. That it largely benefits the cleric, an already overloaded class is just salt in the wound. The Complete Arcane: a guide for killing mages liberally spinkled with recycled content. Fun! I'm probably being unfair since I haven't seen the work yet, but I can't help but feel that WotC falls down whenever addressing the issue of arcane casters. Maybe I should look more to 3rd party vendors, but the arcane ideas put forth in core content just always leaves a stale taste in my mouth. There's so much classic lore to draw on. I just don't understand it. [/QUOTE]
