[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 2629459, member: 22779"] One thing that does disappoint me in this ToC is the inclusion of so much material from very recent Dragon Magazines. 2 of the 5 new races were released in the last year - the Diabolus and the Lupin; in the PrC section, the Force Missile Mage and the Shaper of Form are both from the past year and the Osteomancer is from the year before that. Those stand out to me anyway. Out of 300+ issues, I'm very surprised that almost half the new races and a third of the PrC's didn't need to be updated to 3.5, they were already 3.5 when released. Considering this is a book that's supposed to "bring back the best of the past, fully updated for 3.5", using articles from the past year seems a tad, well, lazy. I was really looking forward to this book, but, seeing the ToC, I'm not so sure. I think I'll wait until I see some reviews and maybe actually be able to peruse the book on the shelf before ponying up the dough. I know, I know, don't judge the book by the Table of Contents and all that, but I have to admit that I'm disappointed to see so many elements from the past twelve months make it into this book.
