Message: <blockquote data-quote="Crothian" data-source="post: 43470" data-attributes="member: 232">See it seems like I'm one of the few to like this product, I'll respond to Wulf's main points.  1) Fighting styles:  Personally, I like that they are based off of Wisdom.  Gives people a choice on what ability to boost. I hate the idea of a dump attribute.  All attributes need to be inportant and anything that does that is good, IMO.  Also, Basing it off wisdom makes it tough to learn.  Especially to get that 20 wisdom.  This makes master really rare and difficult for PCs to get to that level.  I think that is how it should be.  And clerics have a better chance to get the good wisdom, but they don't have the BAB or the sheer number of feats to qualify for many of the styles.2) The complaint of Character Concept Chapter.  I'm with you all the way on this stuff.  I think it was a good idea to try this in theory, but it mostly failed.  3) Power striking is a good feat, just needs an errata.  Whilke I don't like that it does, that is seeming to be the norm on d20 stuff.  Personally, it's still not as bad as some of the stuff in S&F.  They have room to improve, but most of the feats are perfectly fine.4) I didn't even notice this as I read through it.  Yes, they are and Mongoose shouldn't do this.  But It didn't effect me as I read it and I needed this pointed out to me.5) Mongoose:  Lower the amount of White Space, please.  I'd perfer to be complaining about pages to cramped with text, then pages blinding me with glare of the white spaces.6) I've not read the mass combat system and I have no intention of ever using a mass combat system.  So, I'll trust that Wulf's assessments are correct.Overall, I am still happy with this book.  It has many good ideas.  Perhaps Mongoose does rush their products, on that I have no idea.  I'm not going to judge by their rapid realease schedule because they do have many authors.  Feats I liked: Combat Caster Defense: You are better at inturpting and interfering with spellcasters as they cast spellsReckless Attack: You attack with great power in close combat giving up defence for shher damaging ability.Sure Aim: THe longer you aim with a missile weapon, the better your chances to hit are.Prestige Classes I liked:Legend: You need a BAB 15+ and many, many feats, but this Pr Cl has really good flavour and abilities.Peasant Hero: Yes, a Pr Cl designed for the Commoner NPC class.  Again, really good flavour.  It's a little weak, but I really like the idea.</blockquote>
