Where it suffers most rules-wise is in a few redesign issues that are sub par (rangers and bards, initial druid spell spheres) compared to 1st edition and uneven kits in the sprawling Complete Book series. I would certainly recommend the Complete Fighter's Handbook and the Complete Bard's Handbook because the former provides good combat skill options and the latter helps fix the weak bard class.Overall, aside from the couple glitches I mentioned, the rules are pretty solid. The DMG, on the other hand, was nowhere near as helpful as the 1st edition DMG. But that's less a question of rules and more a question of paucity of material.Second edition and it's later kit structure shines quite well in the Al-Qadim setting. Look into it and you won't be disappointed.</blockquote>
