Please tell me Erekose, does it look worth picking up?

Haven't had much time to go through it. I did playtest the Villain classes (they were originally slotted for the bestiary) and they are quite a great time saver. NPCs in seconds is right, its so easy to build up a 16th-20th level NPC with these its funny. There looks like there are quite a few options in there and as most have noted the zone rules are spot on. So yeah I'd say it's definitely worth it, but I havent read it all yet. I can let you know again later after having plowed through it if you like.

I also purchased it last night but I just need time to read over it. So far I have not been displeased with anything from Monte. Yea there have been a few parts that needed some extra work but so far so good.
Einan - my other friend might back out as I have not heard from him so go ahead and make a character and if he decides to join then we will just haev one more.

Gregghor's a hulking brute of a man, covered in tattoos and scars that apparently got him his nickname "Bearbait". His face is a mess, with a bald pate covered in celtic style tattoos and a four clawed slash running from the left side of his forehead to his right cheek and crossing his eyes and nose. He tends to respond to questions in grunts and shrugs, and is slow to anger. Oh, but when he is angry... Beware.
He wears a bearskin cloak over his shoulders and back, with the upper jaw of the bear resting like a helmet on his head. The claws and teeth of the bear hang around his neck. A quiver of javelins hang at his waist and a battleaxe, decorated with feathers and beads is slung across his back. In his hands, leaned against his shoulder like a Louisville Slugger is a massive maul. Aside from his bearskin he wears very little. A hide loincloth, backpack and a small belt pouch make up the remainder of his posessions. He is not a man to accumulate wealth.
Typical Quote: "Humph. Stare long, little man. It will be the last thing you see."

So, can we use our wealth on wealth feats from Mastering Iron Heroes? I might want to get the Manse feat with some followers to staff it. Butler, maid, cooks, that sort of thing.
