Complete Warrior, anybody got it? What's in it?

[Psion]

Games Plus in Chicago says they'll have it tomorrow - they always wait for the correct street date so I'd imagine it should be everywhere this weekend.

I was able to order it at BAMM.COM (product link), not to mention its in the ENWorld store, so the street date is definitely here.

 

[Limper]

Already? Is this a first?

 

[Kid Charlemagne]

When is the "correct street date"? When they say that they will have it tomorrow...does that mean it will arrive at the store? Or will it be for sale?

Gotta love Games Plus....too bad there's not one in every state.

I assumed that they meant it will be for sale tomorrow; that's how they've phrased it in the past. WoTC sets the street date, and although stores generally receive product ahead of that date they're not supposed to sell it till the specified day, which in this case appears to be tomorrow. I didn't specifically ask if they had already received their shipment, but I know Thalmin sometimes orders WoTC products from multiple distributors to hedge against shipping issues with any particular one, so I'd bet on it being there ready to go. Can't hurt to call 'em tomorrow and double check, though.

Anyone got it now?

Anyone got it now?

Well, er.. yes, my wife pre-ordered it from buy.com and it arrived Wednesday. Unfortunately, I can't tell you about it until Christmas.

Okay, I did flip through it. 75% of it is the prestige classes (with sample character). The core classes seem interesting. I wasn't pleased with the hexblade. It has abilities I was not expecting based on the names: at 3rd level it gains an ability where it can ignore partial results from spells when it makes the same. Like evasion but also works on those fort partial spells.

Exotic Weapon Master is a 3 level prestige class that is a must have for the dwarven urgosh wielders.

There are epic feats in the back. Someone will have to compare them to the epic handbook to see if they've been updated. A small amount of equipment. Some strange weapon style feats: Bear Claw style is something like a feat to improve Axe/Dagger TWF style characters.

But that was just a flip through the book. I'm sure you'd prefer a better read once it's available. I'll check back next month.

Hmmm, that's a good way to pad out the page count.

Like Mettle of the Sohei OA class and one of the PrC in Defenders of the Faith (Templar or Sacred Fist, IIRC) ?

I would call that a massive turn-off, if I had any interest in the book before.

I'll admit, I'm a whore for good PrCs, and the idea of new base classes seems intriguing.

Sample Characters are a bit of a turn-off for me, but, on the other hand, they can help illustrate both flavor and mechnical concerns. I don't mind them so much.
