[QUOTE="satori01, post: 959060, member: 7859"] I like the book, the flavor text parts and the idea itself is very evocative and I think can be used in some shape or form somewhat easily. I have not finished reading the book. That said I agree somewhat with Force User, the initial pages of the books jump right into ghost characters, and their are refrences to rules to be found later in the book, a little confusing at times, but the more you read the more confusion gives way to clarity,(at least for myself). The Ghost feats are intresting, a lot of cool additional feats, and quite a bit of feat and spell reprints from magic of faerun,(Ghostwalk as a product seems more a SKR than Cook product). Ghostwalk is one of those products that makes me wish WOTC would reverse their hardcover only policy. $34.95 for a self titled campaign option,(though the hard cover illustration is beautiful in my opinion, my favorite yet of 3e), is going to discourage buyers, and frankly some of the feat and spell inclusion seem calculated to bolster page count. I like it better that Races of Faerun,(which frankly was repackaged crap in my opinion, do I need more races or a reprint of the Savage Species centaur, or another reprint of elvish history from Forgotten Realms), but it would be better servered at a lower price. The idea is original, and I certainly dont mind the expenditure, if you want to emulate the "solid" ghosts of Norse myth, or have some intresting rules for areas near the land of the dead,(ala Homer), you should like this book.
