[QUOTE="cignus_pfaccari, post: 1439398, member: 14557"] Eh. The Initiate feats look cool. The updated PrCs are a bit less crazy, like Divine Disciple (that bonus domain comes in at 4th level, not 1st). It has two potentially generally useful Exalted feats, useful for those VoP characters who desperately need them. I rather like the Black Blood Hunter PrC, which is a vile were-baddy class (and, with suitable mods, a nice were-PC class). Martyred Champion of Ilmater is fairly cool, in that it either gives alternating spellcasting or bonus feats, your pick at the start. However, please, for the love of any deity that holds you dear and to whom you feel likewise, RUN, don't walk, away from the Celebrant of Sharess. If nothing else, consider that this combines exalted feat requirements, poor BAB, d6 hp, a pounce ability...and rage. The spells are okay, and seem to be toned down a bit in general; the Nybor's series, for example, no longer affects the target's Str. Magic items are a mixed bag; they waste an entry on a plain +3 heavy shield (rumored to have weaponbreaking properties that relate mostly to its being steel and the breaking weapons having been made out of bronze), but there's the Cloak of Weaponry, which we've nicknamed the Highlander Trenchcoat (as it can hold up a single one-handed weapon of 25 pounds or less). It's nice to have the cosmology section, if for no other reason than the FRCS was rather sparse on that (not sure if F&P had it). They have a section on psionics, which effectively says that psionics are there, but most people just think you're a mage and treat you accordingly. Amusingly, they're using the Revised psionics in their descriptions, though that's hardly surprising. I'm not...quite...regretting my purchase. But get it with a discount if possible, and only if necessary. Brad [/QUOTE]
