[QUOTE="Celtavian, post: 1435961, member: 5834"] [b]Not a very good book IMO...[/b] This is one of the poorest Forgotten Realms books I've seen to date. The book is rife with Prc's and Feats that aren't balanced compared to other Prc's and Feats in the same book. For example, The Eye of Horus Re is about 10 times better than the Morninglord of Lathander even though they are similar types of deities. The Hammer of Moradin is about ten times better than the Justicar of Tyr. The Blooded and Mercantile background have almost become no brainers if you are able to take them as regional feats. There is a feat called Fearless that makes you immune to fear simulating class abilities. I don't quite get what he designers were going for with this one. Now I'm going to have a bunch of undead hunters wanting to be Eyes of Horus Re since this Prc is about as insanely overpowered as they come. The class gets to use Greater Turning a number of times per day equal to 3 plus their charisma modifier in addition to their regular turning attempts. That is just stupid, imbalanced design. For a book that took so long to come out, they could have done a better job. This is not a very good book. Mostly full of updates of old classes for 3.5 and a few new Prc's, some of which are overpowered. The one thing I do like though is the Deity domains. Gives a little flavor back to FR priests.
