[QUOTE="kenjib, post: 490093, member: 530"] [b]Re: Re: uhh...[/b] It sounds like it's planned to be totally compatible with all the d20 product already out there. If you have trouble with using just the 3 core books, then why would you be able to use just Monte's book any more easily? It sounds like this book will increase options and complexity, not streamline them. Instead of people just saying "I want to play an Alchemist from Occult Lore (eventually taking the Candle Caster PRC from Tome and Blood) using a race from FFG's Mythic Races and some feats from Relics & Rituals." Now you will get someone saying "I want to play an Alchemist from Occult Lore (eventually taking the Candle Caster PRC from Tome and Blood), but with Monte's spell system, a race from FFG's Mythic races, taking feats from the PHB, Monte's book, and Relics and Rituals -- and by the way, can we use Monte's variant combat system instead of the PHB one as well, except for the grappling rules and skill variants, which suck, so I'd rather use the PHB ones?" EDIT: Not that I think this is a bad thing. More options is not bad -- the DM just needs to use discretion regarding what fits the game and works well. [/QUOTE]
