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

[buzzard]

Well I took a fairly cursory look at it at the game shop last night. I was underwhelmed. Mind you it was quite cursory, so don't attach much importance to the review. I didn't get to the style or tactics feats, but I did go through the normal feats to some extent, and it looks like (dare I say it?) fighters got the shaft. Pretty much the only high level fighter feat I saw was Improved Combat Expertise. BFD. Not much of a reason to keep being a fighter. Most of the feats had to do with Barbarian and Monk abilities. They also completely nerfed power critical. It used to be a neat once a day ability. Now it is utterly worthless (woo-hoo +4 to confirm!!!! with one weapon!!!!).

I will take another look to see what the tactical and style feats amount to, but at present I think I ought to go back and change my vote in the poll since I doubt I'll bother buying it now.

Any good archer PrCs that a Ranger might qualify for via virtual feats and maybe another feat or two?

Maybe I missed them, but I didn't really see much in the way of archer PrCs. In fact Deepwood Sniper was missing. I guess OOBI was there.

The new base classes are a swashbuckler, a spellsword, and what?

I think I saw a 20 level samurai in there?

I think that it makes for a good one shot NPC, where the DM can set up proper circumstances for the forsaker to work, but for PCs, there's no way that I can see it working properly.

Who said that all the PrCs where popular? If the PC want's to `go his own way,' then you and him fudge up a one-shot PrC . . .

Can someone provide me with a list (or a link to a list) of the base classes in the book? Thanks!

Yes, I would also like to know what the third base class is what the basic abilities and party roles the three of them fill.

my homebrew "stormcerer" (I don't see how I could translate the same in English and make it sound cool, sorry

What was it in French, Sorpête? Tempicien?

I would give that honor to the Forsaker.

The mere concept is stupid. I could understand it in a Shadowrun setting, but in Greyhawk, a magic-hater?

Actually, the forsaker is pretty darned true to the original Greyhawk barbarian. In the old edition, Barbarians HATED magic and couldn't use it, they hated magic users (wizards), and they had a severe dislike that eventually adjusted down to just mere distrust of clerics.

So, Forsaker is pretty much just a souped up AD&D 1st Ed. Barbarian.

But lightningmage really don't sound good.
