This comment is not meant to be a true rebuttal, but more of an explanation and a bit of apology. The Supplemental is not simply so much leftovers, although it does have that type of disjointed feel. The Mutazoids3e Supplemental is composed of material that the developers felt were important for rounding out the setting, and providing the players with the most choices when building the characters, but originally the Player's Guide was 240 pages and just too large already.  I feel the material is useful, not just for Mutazoids3e, but for other OGC or d20 PA settings. The art- yep, it's not as good as the first book's art. My first team of artists (Dan and Mike) got too expensive, the next artist (Bud) developed kidney problems and had to stop, and my third artist (Kevin) needs more practice. Still I didn't hate the cover. Probably because I designed it. The golden nut tree glows in otherwise dark places. The humazoid plant pics inside were my favorites too, but Larry wasn't feeling healthy enough to continue. The ninja was used because it represents a particular school of Martial Artist Philosophy.  I used the ninja sketches purposely also. I felt they represented the concepts I was trying to describe fairly well, but were rather unobtrusive, and whispy (like a ninja). These were drawn as a one shot deal by Archie, but I might use him again later. The 6 armed Kali image was used to fill space, but it also was meant to represent another possible flavor of Eastern Philosophy. The pixelated 4 armed snake was really just to fill a little space, and afterall, it's a 4 armed snake. Drat! I thought the Martial Arts Rules were better play-tested. There were a few playtesters interested in using Martial Arts and Eastern Philosophies, and they gave it the thumbs up. Ah well... I think most of it is still ok.  Characters other than monks may take the Martial Arts Feat, and gain Techniques. In the book it is implied that characters may take the feat at any level and follow the Martial Arts Techniques known table to gain techniques.  It is up to the GM if they wish to place other restrictions on how and when a non-monk character may take the Martial Arts Feat.  It is possible to restrict characters taking Martial Arts Feat and gaining Techniques unless they join the Eastern Philosophies Sphere of Influence, or find another suitable teacher, in other words, most non-monks will not be able to take it at first level, unless they seriously want to get zen-like. It's also obvious now, that I am going to have to find another proofreader/editor to help my layout guy, James. I've been looking for someone to help on the next couple of projects. Regarding the cost I would like to drop it, but margins are pretty thin on a thin book, however, Since the beginning, I have considered publishing the Supplemental in cheaper pdf version.  I just never got around to putting in the request, getting it set up and setting a price. I'll see if I can manage to do that in the next week or so. Thanks!!  Moses "Wolfy" Wildermuth</blockquote>
