Closing thoughts. The feats seem fine and they add some variety to combat. They tend to be fairly powerful feats, but then they have to compete with the default damage critical's normally do and make it worth spending a feat on them. Some I think fall a little short on this. The artwork is fair. All told the product is exactly what it claims to be, a collection of new feats that give you options when you score a critical hit. Yet despite it giving you exactly what they claim to do, I still feel myself wishing it had been different.
Let me say there is nothing wrong with the product, but as I read it. I keep thinking to myself man I really wish they had put this kind of effort into a combat maneuvers book. Something anyone could do, that would have pro's and con's for trying them. To give more tactics to combat. So I read the book and it is good but it left me thinking, what if? So in the end I am giving this a 4 star review. Solid book and if you are looking for feats to give you critical hit options then I recommend checking it out.
