[QUOTE="dm4hire, post: 4555336, member: 14848"] I'm personally disappointed in the book. My first thought was why wasn't half of this stuff included in the PHB to begin with. The ranger stuff is a toss, the rogue aspects are so-so, the fighter is meh (now an official word thanks to the Simpsons), and anyone playing a warlord not using the last feature from this book... "What are you thinking??" is all I can say. There are a mix of good powers and features in this book, but nothing solid that justifies seperating them into more than one book. I think a better approach would have been to follow the guidelines of 3.5 a little more when it comes to the purpose of splatbooks; core books provide all the meat while they provide the side salad. This book begins the aspect of 4e I don't like, despite liking 4e. A lot of the stuff in this book should have been in the PHB instead of held back and placed in an overpriced book on its own. I hate to say it, but the book isn't worth 30, 20 is more like it which lucky for me is what I paid thanks to Amazon, but if I'd gone into an FLGS I'd be hard pressed to justify spending the full amount on it. Part of the problem is the layout being the same as the PHB, save the card format for the actual cards and not the book. Use the space more effectively and give us more content. [/QUOTE]
