Kenjib,

That's right. We listed a recommended progression rather than a PrC

Man, sometimes you guys think just like I do. You guys put out the stuff that I would if I did...if you know what I mean.

Wow, I really thought this would be a hot topic. Is there no interest in the book?

Hmmm, I can't get Kenzer's website to load. Maybe that's the reason.

This book is actually on my buy list (though I'll be getting it used, since I am boycotting Kenzer for what they've done to the Known World). One of the things that makes me less enthusiastic is that they aren't using the d20 license, but the D&D license. Thus, anything in it isn't going to be useable by other companies. Ironically, by their stuff being 'official', it will be used less.
 

not interesting

A Dancer class?! Do I really need one? Not really.

And I definitely am not pleased to see new skills on the contents. New uses for existing skills yes. New skills, no. Characters already don't have sufficient skill points for existing skills, we don't need skill point dilution here.
 

Not interesting?

Thorin you have the book or are you talking about the previews only?
I guess you're talking based on the web previews and I'll follow this with that in mind.

First to be honest, I really like the idea of the Dancer Class.
Do I really need it? No
Can I get something like that with 10 levels of a PrC? Yes
I'll use it? YES
See the variant classes are optionals and you could choice not to use them if you don't like the class, but saying a book isn't interesting based on a single class preview?
IMHO the concept of the PrC was good at first but now it really looks like the 2E Kits and to be honest I prefer to have an entire new class that it's focused on something than a ten levels PrC that I could fill the requeriments at level 5-6 and get a lot of special abilities each level.

On the new skills I don't see a problem there.
I mean you get more skill points than feats and there's hundreds of new feats, in this book you can find around 100 new feats and think that at least there's 10 new on almost every d20 product you could buy.
It's up to you to use them all or pick the ones you like, it's the same with new skills but that doesn't make the book or the new skills no interesting.

Anyway this is just my point of view, I plan to buy this book before the web previews and now that I see a few pages of the book I cannot wait to read it.

1. Kenzer has changed the preview, taking off the Basiran dancer and adding the Infiltrator to its contents!

2. What new skills are there? Pantomime.
That's all. And additional knowledge, craft and profession skills - which has been done before, even by WotC.

Otoh, you get one of the most intgriguing Player (and DM) aids I've ever seen - really!

Try it again. It should be working fine.

This book is actually on my buy list (though I'll be getting it used, since I am boycotting Kenzer for what they've done to the Known World).

Huh? I have no idea what this means. If it's referring to HackMaster and Mystara, let me repeat again... HackMaster has absolutely nothing to do with Mystara. We haven't touched it, and we have no plans to. I don't even know if we CAN if we wanted to. :)
