Then - recently - we gained Combat focus that worked in a similar pattern. Now, it seems, we have a magical focus - albeit called 'Reserve'. I wonder where else this will lead? Will we see a Skill Focus that allows one unusual competency in a skill while focused, or perhaps new and more complex uses of the skill while focused, or perhaps allowing more difficult results with lower DCs while focused? These are just the first things that come to mind for such. It was nice to see that the Warlock will be getting a bit of attention, and it seems they will be giving alternative class levels rather than a new class or three. The 'never before seen PrCs' could be interesting, but considering the new PrC style I'm guessing no more than eight or ten will be in the book. That's what, 30-50 pages right there, right?  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/paranoid.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":uhoh:" title="Paranoid    :uhoh:" data-shortname=":uhoh:" />  :\ Ah, well, we can hope, I guess, for a bit of conciseness. It is interesting that this books actually seems to be what Complete Arcane was sporting to be: a book that gives each class a bit of arcane-ness. The Complete Arcane spent more time introducing new classes (although I rather like the Warlock, I admit), new spells, and revised PrCs than ways for each of the non-arcane classes to be a bit arcane-ish. It all but requires a follow up that grants a bit of the divine to each of the classes. Complete Priest? Somehow I doubt that will be the title, but I suppose I wouldn't be too surprised if it were. I wonder why the cover art is still in b/w? The pic itself seems a bit odd, but it is hard to make out too many details due to size and lack of coloration. Is that a jester's hat the cover character is wearing?Anyway, I think I may actually by this one, when before I had been more indifferent. Not so much because I think it will be an amazing book, but rather because it has stoked my curiosity.</blockquote>
