[QUOTE="GameDoc, post: 6372619, member: 53915"] I and most of my gaming group cut our teeth on 2e and so far all of us who did have said independently that the art and layout makes it feel like a successor of the 2e PHB, visually at least. That gave me a warm fuzzy. I'm of two minds regarding the halflings. The proportionately tiny feet were odd to see (halflings a la Rob Liefeld...?), but I'm also glad to see them wearing shoes and not pigeonholed into being hobbits. I know a lot of fans prefer the hobbit look, but I'm glad to see some efforts at keeping them distinct. I was also surprised (although not unhappy) with the lack of having a consistent look. The most out of place thing to me seemed to be the tapestry image in the fighter section. Partially because it's visually dissimilar to anything else in the book, but also because it appears to have a wizard (granted it could be an eldritch knight) alongside the fighter. No other class entry depicts members of other classes. This might have fit better in the combat chapter. [/QUOTE]
