He gets flavor text perfectly, but then the description also becomes flavor text.Take Book of 9 Swords, each ability has an italic "flavor text" portion, and then a "description" part, which more often than not adds in another paragraph of flavor text.Take this ability:Hearing the AirYour perception becomes so fine that you can hear the tiniest flutter of air moving past you. Invisible foes and other hidden threats become as plain as day in the area of your heightened senses.Drawing on your combat training, sharpened senses, and capability to predict your enemy's moves, you become a faultless sentinel on the battlefield. Even the smallest detail or stealthiest enemy cannot hope to evade your notice.While you are in this stance, you gain blindsense out to 30 feet and a +5 insight bonus on Listen ChecksThis is repeated over and over in the book. An italic paragraph of "flavor", then another paragraph of "description" that is actually flavor. This is all over in his stuff (which I love, I am a firm proponent of Iron Heroes, Bo9S, and the like).</blockquote>
