[QUOTE="paradox42, post: 3593394, member: 29746"] The print version has much higher contrast than any printout I've made from the PDFs; the words and art really stand out well. I was shocked it was a hardcover; I had thought they'd be doing a perfect-bound softcover like most Chaosium books (for example) and actually most of Mongoose's own books to date (for example, the Encyclopedia Arcane series, the Quintessentials, and Seas of Blood). A 96-page hardbound book is pretty rare. That said, the cover is black and extremely tough. I won't be going out of my way to test its toughness, but I wouldn't be surprised if it can take a spilled coke or few and have it just roll right off. I was a little disappointed they didn't expand the cover art to fill the whole front cover, but even so it still looks good. And I know approximately what a "git" is (the old Monty Python sketch certainly helps), but what's "jammy" mean? :p It certainly does in this case. Only one or two went up, like the sample Akalich, and that one only by 1. I advise against this. Epic character save modifiers can get very, very high, and a DC 50-odd save is actually not that difficult to make for most characters in my 30th-level party provided it's in the good save. Forcing the DC to be 20+ability mod as a maximum means you'd hardly ever see save DCs that high, and almost certainly never before the party can make the saves in their sleep (except on a nat1 of course).
