[QUOTE="wingsandsword, post: 2121727, member: 14159"] I'll agree with that 100% Unearthed Arcana is an [b]excellent[/b] book, and the first book I would recommend after the 3 core books, but I wouldn't recommend it for a novice DM. Learn to run with the Core 3, then expand out once you know the system, it's core classes and rules, and how it's all balanced before diving headlong into the suppliments. Unearthed Arcana is for the DM who knows the system well, and wants to strip it down, rebuild it, and make their own personally customized version of D&D that's exactly what they want. If you know what you're doing you'll get your ideal and perfect game, if you don't you'll end up with a horribly broken, clumsy abomination that will send your campaign down in flames. "Today on Game Improvement, I'm going to put Gestalt classes, Defense Bonuses, Action Points and Magic Rating into our campaign! Want to be the first player to roll up a new character for it?"
