(Complete Warrior) = (Sword and Fist) ++

[The Little Raven]

Complete Warrior will contain material to add flavor and new options for all characters in combat. It will contain feats, skill uses, PrCs, spells, magic items, equipment and a great many options for combat.

The book will be useful to characters of ANY class who wish to have a role in combat.

I REALLY hope that this is the case. I can not begin to express how annoyed I was with the so-called splat books that were so CLEARLY (self-proclaimed) as being for specific classes.

They each contained feats and PrCs, and it just added to the mindset that certain feats and PrCs are "wizard feats" or something.... when, quite honestly, a wizard could take feats from Sword and Fist if he/she wanted too... it just broke away from the class vs. ability disctintion... the PrCs (a better example) are really open to anyone.. it just seemed short-sided to pump "class" books with these.

I much prefer to concept that the books have concepts in mind (warriors, spell casters, stealth) that way you can pick the direction you want your character to go and reference said book/publication (rather than being more confined by the character class you happen to be you instead get your information organized according to the type of character you are going for).

i'm rambling, sorry.. i'll hush now


Edit: that's not to say some feats or PrCs are more naturally inclined towards certain classes due to the prerequisites or that the abilities they impart don't fit more nicely with certain classes' features, just, it's a shame to feed the mentality of for class X only by sticking them in books specific for character classes rather than books for character concepts.

Still, some gamers would like to know how to fast-track into a particular prestige class that they want to get into.

the PrCs (a better example) are really open to anyone..

Think of the bladesinger: it's in Tome & Blood, the Guide to Sorcerers and Wizards, but it's mostly a warrior and most worthwhile for characters that are almost straight fighters.
