[QUOTE="delericho, post: 8553678, member: 22424"] Skills & Powers and Spells & Magic have the dubious distinction of being the last 2nd Ed books I tried to use at the table. (My last purchase was "Of Ships and the Sea", but it never saw use.) hey were only used in one campaign, which... didn't go well. But Spells & Magic, like the 3.5e Unearthed Arcana, was a book that I loved to think about, twist and adjust, and 'play' with away from the table - there were so many great options, and so many potentials hinted at. It was just great for that. I do also think WotC maybe missed a trick a bit, in that the 3.0e Sorcerer is only a somewhat-rearranged Wizard, where there was the potential to take forward some of the options in this book and thus give us something truly different. (Then again, balance was always somewhat odd in 2nd Ed materials, and no moreso than in Player's Option...) [/QUOTE]
