While it looked the business, I thought the content comprised material I'd like to do myself (ie the dragon stats) and material I'd never use (PrCs), so I gave it a miss. Maybe I'll pick it up one day. Libris Mortis I haven't really looked at or considered, so the only justification I have for replying to this thread is that I have bought and finished reading Lords of Madness.Like Jeff, I wish they hadn't changed the name but - oh well. On the whole, I thought the book was very good indeed. I am, I confess, an aberration myself and insanity is my domain, so I felt quite at home reading it. One or two things bugged me. I actually found PrCs quite interesting (though I still won't use 'em), except for the Topaz Guardian (I think), which was extremely tiresome; I couldn't make myself read the whole entry. On the other hand, the chapters on aberrations did not disappoint, crucially, nor did the new spells and aberrant feats.Some phrases were annoyingly over-used. For example, 'looks like nothing so much as...' should be red-penned the instant it's spotted in any future manuscript. Another thing I've become aware of in WotC books (and Paizo's publications) is that the American use of 'likely' as an adverb unsupported by prepositions grates on my Englishness. In almost every case, 'probably' would read better, regardless of which side of the pond you're on. But these are minutiae. Overall, I thought the book was an excellent source of campaign ideas.</blockquote>
