Message: <blockquote data-quote="lonesoldier" data-source="post: 2214944" data-attributes="member: 31189">Good and EvilI bought the Book of Exalted Deeds and Book of Vile Darkness last week. I'll review them together.Both introduce interesting ideas on the nature of good and evil (I like the Vile Darkness' relative alignment varient), as well as have several paragraphs explaining such ideals. Redemption, the nature of evil, sacrifice, martyerdom (sp?) are all discussed.As might be expected, there are many new Prestige classes. I like the series of 'followers of ---'. Where --- is a companion or one of the seven/nine lords of Hell. All in all, very good.The equipment is cool. Vile Darkness gives us torture equipment and all manner of fun DM toys ( ^_^;; ) while Exalted Deeds has kewl new weapons. Exalted Deeds also has some new diseases (Oh happy day!) and of course both have the properly aligned relics.Feats! The two new types are Vile feats and Exalted Feats. I'm sure they are mutually exclusive. These feats show that you are blessed (or cursed, some BOVD feats scare me) by the gods.Magic-> Meh... They explain how to redeem magic items, that's cool.Celestial Paragons/Lords of Evil:Lots of background and stat blocks for the good guys and evil guys. These are like super-angels and lords of hell and the abyss. Not someone you want to get into a bar-fight with. This chapter also explains some planes, like the Abyss and Celestial, and whatnot.Monsters:Good selection of Challege Ratings. Good ideas, I liked BOVD's more, but thats's just me. Oh and reading the Book of Vile Darkness does make you evil.(Wanders off to sacrifice virgins for a +6 to his sacrifice check. ^_^ )</blockquote>
