Margreve Compilation by Open Design
This product is 14 pages long.
It starts with 20 new NPC's each with a paragraph or two about them. These are new NPC's one can drop into the setting and help bring it to life. (4 pages)
Next is 25 reskined monsters. There is a paragraph about each one, talking a bit about them. At the end it list what Pathfinder monster stats should be used for them. ( 2 ½ pages)
Next is 15 reskinned spells. These are spells with new fluff for them, a example is leaf armor, which functions like mage armor but can be used by druids as well. (2 pages)
Margreve Sorcerer Bloodline is next. It is a bloodline tied to the forest. I rather liked this one, it has a bit of a witch/druid feel to it. ( 1 ½ pages)
Magic of the Margreve, this section unlike the spells is new items. First is a new Incantation. Followed by 5 new magic items. ( 2 pages)
New traits, these are the new traits mechanic added by Pathfinder as a optional rule. This section has 12 new traits connected to the Margreve forest. (1 ½ pages)
It ends with a ½ page of OGL.
Closing Thoughts. This is a new book to pick up to add even more to Tales of the Old Margreve. The art work is old style art pictures. The NPC section is nice, the reskinned monsters adds a bit more uniqueness to the forest. Though I would have liked to have had them expanded a bit to at least two paragraphs each, a bit more about there ecology and the like. The reskinned spells is one of the best parts of the book and the area I found a problem which I will get to later.
The bloodline is very nice and fits very well, same with the new magic items and traits. Now there was one area about this product that bugged me. The reskinned spells don't list any of the APG classes. Even some of the spells like the one I mentioned Leaf Armor is a reskinned mage armor. In this book it only list Druid, Sorc/Wiz. Does that mean witch's can't learn it? They can learn mage armor but so can Sorc/Wiz which is listed. Yet none of the spells list the new APG classes, which leaves me unsure. Luckily that is really the only blemish on this product.
So for the low price and good quality writing, taking into account it would have been nice to have a bit more info on the reskinned monsters and what I consider a error in the spell section. I am giving this a 4 star review. It is a good product but could have been even better.
