[QUOTE="Clint, post: 2008897, member: 2283"] [b]Counter Collection II[/b] is a collection of cardstock counters similar to the type found in Fiery Dragon's modules and their Counter Collection I. [i]Physical Description / Criteria for Review:[/i] The package contains many sheets of 450 full-color cardboard counters for use in tactical situations. Also included is an eight-page insert containing three prestige classes and four new magic items. I paid cover price, $15. I've been using Fiery Dragon counters in my game for months. [i]To love[/i]: * The quality of the full-color art is excellent. * The selection of counters is amazing. There are more than 70 distinct characters: 37 unique humans, 14 elves, 8 dwarves, 4 each of gnomes, half-elves, halflings, and half-orcs. They are split equally between male and female, which is a nice touch. * There are also 80 different creatures represented, with a good mix of creatures from low-level to high-level: from trogdolytes to storm giants, dogs to demons and devils. Combine this set with Counter Collection I (which was skewed toward low-level creatures), and you've got virtually everything you need to run most 3e combats. * Just like the first set, the counters conform to 3e scale nicely. * Fiery Dragon addressed the fans' primary concern about the first Counter Collection: that there were only the largest dragon sizes included.
