[QUOTE="GlassJaw, post: 2015078, member: 22103"] I don't think this is a very good review at all. I also hesitate to call it a review. This seems to be more of a rant against WotC, as indicated by comments such as "3.$", "bold-faced lie", and "exhorbitant price". i agree that price one factor in determining the value of a book but F&P is similar to most hardcover books out there. "This $33 book is ALREADY obsolete in the Forgotten Realms campaign setting." Considering that F&P came out some time ago before th recent Spider Queen developments, I don't think this is a fair assessment. "There are a few new magical spells and gew-gaws in here and some new prestige classes (which are easy to write and take up lots of space as filler material)" Easy to write and filler material? Hmm. I found the PrC's very creative and unique and almost of all them useful as either PC's or NPC's. I'm a big fan of deity-specific PrC's and almost all of the delivered. The Auspician PrC, which is based on fate and luck, is a personal favorite. The PrC's are also easily adapatable to non-FR worlds as well. I will agree that the book is less useful to non-FR players. As an FR player and DM, I find F&P to invaluable. It one of the most common books I grab when I'm working on material for my campaign. It's equally useful for a player in the Realms as well. I would rate it at least a 4 for FR players and maybe a 3 or 3.5 for non. [/QUOTE]
