Deities and Demigods stats aren't reasonable).The racial transformations and talents are very cool; they add a lot of flavor and uniqueness and allow good customization of PCs and NPCs.  As well, the new classes(disciple, shaman, shaper, and spirit adept) are all very flavorful and well-balanced against the other core classes(the disciple replaces the cleric and the shaman replaces the druid); the spirit adept has to be my new favorite class, it's that cool.The unique monsters are a very cool idea as well; I like the whole scion of the species thing; it's positively inspiring!  I'm already beginning work on Worg, the Wight King, and other baddies.Legendary paths are very cool; you can up your high stats even more and they are a requirement to qualify for the really cool legendary classes.  As well, they allow you to switch out certain skills key abilities(such as making Open Lock a Strength skill, or Jump a Dexterity Skill), so you can finally make that Legolas clone who's so dextrous that he can climb up the Oliphant. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />My only complaint against the book is that it's based on 3.5, but I guess the whole book can't be tailored to me.  It sure felt like it was though; this is EXACTLY what I've been looking for in a campaign setting.  I think my homebrewing days are over.</blockquote>
