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

[heirodule]

Has anybody summarized the feats and classes from Sword and Fist which DIDN'T make the cut into CW?

What does the book offer for the barbarians? From just skimming through this thread, it seems all they get is updated versions of the rage feats and frenzied berserker. Anything else for them?

What changes were made to the Frenzied Berserker PrC? What about Greater Resiliency?

Someone commented that Improved Toughness was well done, I assume that's a replacement for the Dwarf's Toughness-Giant's Toughness-Dragon's Toughness chain?

Well except for the poor treatment of the kensai and no ninja PrC's, I liked the book. The swasbuckler gets things like bonuses to acrobatic skills, dodge bonuses, better flanking bonuses, bonuses to Ref saves, adding int bonus to damage rolls, luck bonuses, and skill mastery wioth acrobatic skills. D10 hit dice, fort as good save, 4 + int skills per leves. The only barbarian Prc's I remember is frenzied berzerker, eye of Gruumsh, and bear warrior. Greater resiliancy is there, but no expert tactician or power lunge. Lost of rage feats. Some good monk, two-weapon fighting, archery, and favored enemy feats as well. Improved toughness gives you an extra hp per level.

By high-level I meant between 10th and 20th. Oh well, maybe there'll be another book with enough high-level feats taking up something more than 25% of the book.

How many high level feats do you want? (Or how short a book are you willing to buy?) Feats don't take up a lot of space, ya' know.

There is a preview of Character Customization in the June 2003 RPGNow Downloader monthly with a preview of the feat section. The book contains 8 feats with BAB > +10 required as well as 12 +8 BAB feats. The preview contains several of these feats. It is a 3.0 PDF and there are many places where 3.5 would require different prerequisites. (Not to mention some of the feats in 3.5 are different from how I wrote them in CC.)

"I just figured out why you're giving me so much trouble."
"Why is that, do you think?"

-Hyp.

Now they just need the spell raise mostly dead.

My Complete Warrior arrives tomorrow! Along with BoED.

The new frenzied berserker PrC doesn't get any DR, but does get diehard at first level, deathless frenzy at 4th level (can continue fighting at -10 hp and beyond for the duration of frenzy) and greater frenzy at 8th level (+10 to Str instead of +6).

Ahem,

could anyone who has the complete warrior give us all a more complete breakdown of the Swashbuckler class. What sort of abilities does it get at higher levels, and how do you think it compares with the fighter?

Also, is there a prestige class in the book specificaly designed for the swashbuckler? If so, how does it compare with the duelist?

Thanks in advance.
Cheers.

Some of the high level abilities include: lucky (get to reroll a roll), acrobatic skill mastery, slippery mind, weakening critical (do 2 points of str dmg with crit), and wouning critical (do 2 points of con dmg with crit). Dodge bonus and grace bonus (bonus to ref saves) max out at +4 and +3 respectively.

It's a fairly rare situation when two characters can't manage to get a flank, especially when one of them can tumble.

Not for this guy. His opponents will always be flat-footed.

Just got it over the weekend. Haven't read it yet, but I did check out some of the new core classes like Swashbuckler, which is pretty cool. I'm thinking that the new classes in both this book and the Miniatures handbook will included in the 4th edition DnD, whenever that comes out.
