Complete complete series?

I think said it didn't qualify?

Mea culpa. I misread your comment.

Well, the progression seems to be as follows:

Complete Arcane -> Complete Mage
Complete Adventurer -> Complete Scoundrel

...whereas Complete Champion seems to be a combinations sequel to both Complete Divine and Complete Warrior...

I would rush out to buy multiple copies of the Complete Familiar

... assuming they included squirrels and a related prestige class.

Complete Villain

A sourcebook for bad guys. New prestige classes, new dark spells and evil organizations, rules for villain creation and villainous tricks traps and other nasty items. Playing heroic villains; the anti-hero.

Yes, some retread material from the Book of Vile Deeds, but that one seems to focus on the occult and the extra planar sources of bad guys and evil doers.

A more class focussed, worldy approach would do nicely.

I could actually see a Complete Villain just because there was a villains handbook back in the AD&D days. Plus, it actually sounds cool.

Actually, there're two "Villain Books" coming out later this year. Exemplars of Evil and Elder Evils.

I'd have to say if I could pick one more complete book it'd have to be a Complete Wild (or something akin to that). Basically more options for Barbarians, Rangers, and Druids. I just think they've glazed over them. Unless you're evil, good luck finding a prc other than Frenzied Bezerker if you're a barbarian that's worth taking (and honestly what sane DM would allow a played to be a FB?). If you go exhalted then there's Champion of Gwynharwyf, but past that, the options are really weak. Druid got totally shafted, sure once again there's a small handful, but compared to the options for clerics/arcane spellcasters, its crap at best. And I think we all agree ranger could still use some more cool options.

That Poodlemancer doesn't want competition, though!

How about Complete Monk? There's been some support for them, but they could possibly have their own sourcebook.

That's a bit too narrow. I could see Complete-Fu, the Guide to Martial Arts for all classes, with some variants (like a more general Martial Artist base class) and so on. But B9S is somewhat along those lines (though it uses manoeuvres, not normal class abilities and feats)

No, it was definitely intended to "follow up" CD, at least to the same extent than CM followed up CArc, and CS followed up CAdv.

I, too, am surprised that there's been no announcement of a CW follow-up as of yet.

Well, in the sense that in the first round the Complete Warrior catered quite a bit to paladins (at least that's the impression I have of the book, I haven't really looked at it in a couple of months ) as does Complete Champion, I can see your point, but I think that it's still a clearer follow-up to Complete Divine...

And I'm sort of wondering about the situation with the warrior types right now, as well. In fact, to keep repeating myself in all my posts ( ), the schedule for the second half of this year looks pretty bare to me... (August and December show 1 gaming product each, some of the products listed as "accessories" aren't, well, really D&D, are they?)

K, thanks. My first sentence did sound like I had called it a complete. I should have put, "at first", "initially" or other to make my post clearer.

Thanks,
