[QUOTE="Ialdabode, post: 39330, member: 1635"] As I've picked up all the other ones, I'll definitely get MotW to finish my collection (as it were). That said, the thing that has disappointed me the most in the books (aside from some book's *cough - DotF - cough* massive amount of Greyhawk specific material) is the prestige classes. They're too... stupid. Take S&S for example. Where are the generic concept PrCs? Where is the gypsy? The herald? The charlatan? Where is our generic thief? How about the thug? Bottom line is the class books have been severely hit or miss. From my own personal use I'd have to rate them like this: [b]S&F:[/b] Errataed feats are decent, some of the prestige classes are general enough to be useful (duelist, gladiator, cavalier, order of the bow) but the ones that aren't suck HARD. The weapon equivalents are very useful. Gameplay information is worthless at worst and uninsightful at best. [b]DotF:[/b] Feats and magic items are nice and the paladin mount rules are very good. Half the book is wasted for someone who doesn't use Greyhawk. The presitge classes are mostly uninteresting and a marked deficiency on those paladins can use is present. [b]T&B:[/b] The feats and spells make this book. The prestige classes are mostly lame and useless. [b]S&S:[/b] Easily the worst of the class books. Most of the feats are stupid dual focus variants, the prestige classes are awful, and the section on bardic instruments just bogs the game down. The poison and trap section is the only good part of this book. That said, I expect MotW to bite. [/QUOTE]
