Complete complete series?

[Shazman]

Perhaps, Book of Nine Swords was Complete Warrior II in every way but the name. Most people would put it in the same catergory as Tome of Magic (just another alternate system), but Tome of Magic was Uneartherd Arcana balck, while BO9S was the PHB/Complete series brown. Of course, Magic of Incarnum was also brown, so maybe that's not such a great theory.

Don't forget there still needs to be a Complete Psionic 2, a follow up to Complete Psionic.

Let's hope it doesn't bomb like the first one.

And I'm sort of wondering about the situation with the warrior types right now, as well.

I'm not sure whether they'd release another complete warrior. After all, lots of books have some content for combat and warriors. PHB, for example, has lots of fighter goodness.

It is an alternate system. It doesn't offer the existing classes anything except something they'd have to multiclass into (with the exception of a couple of feats that you could use to get a manoeuvre and a stance or something like that).

It doesn't have nice stuff for fighters, rangers, paladins, monks, barbarians or the like, it only has stuff for Warblades, Crusaders, Swordsages.

Tome of Magic wasn't really UA black. It didn't have any frame at all, the cover was full-size, like the Draconomicon's.

You know why C. Champion is the last right?

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

When I said you were slightly squirrelly, it was before I knew you identified with them!

While I see the possibility of not releasing Complete Warrior II, I highly doubt it has anyhing to do with the PHB!

I would welcome Complete Martial Adept (with more Book of Nine Swords goodness), or support for other D&D extra classes.

That'd be very damn nice. The Tome of Battle was way too thin, in my opinion.

Dunno, but then again, I'm sorta expectng something like "Complete Combatant" or "Complete Mercenary" or something along those lines, to make more combat-oriented characters.

Definitely. I've been expecting "Complete Soldier", myself.

Exemplars of Evil and Elder Evils should be pretty sweet since they are both written by Doctor Evil himself, Robert J Schwalb.

I'm so stoked to see those books in 2007

Oh and why isn't there a Complete sequel to Complete Warrior? Cause everyones melee isn't the way you complete campaigns, it's just good at stopping the BBEG while the spellcasters do the major damage.

According to the thesaurus we could have any of the aforementioned plus Complete Hero, Complete Protagonist, Complete Legionnaire, Complete Partisan, Complete Veteran...no matter what they call it, it should deal with martial characters of all stripes. Hopefully focusing on secular combatants as opposed to the sacred combatants presented in the Complete Champion. Like most of the second series of Complete books, it will probably offer up more non-typical class combinations and not be quite as class exclusive as the first series.

I don't consider the twin tomes of battle and magic as part of the series in name or content. Books of this nature offer alternatives to pre-existing classes, not material that supports and expands what's in the PHB.

I love the smell of paranoia in the morning. Smells like... internet.
