I buy things because I am a collector, not because of any inherent value in the purchase. I am an obsessive compulsive person. I do these kinds of things and they do not make sense to any but myself and those like me.That said, although I am glad to have the book because it "completes my collection," for those who are not of the same mindset, I am offering my insight so that they might make an informed decision. Additionally, I believe you are quite wrong about several things. As I said, I am a collector and the book is part of the 3.5 edition. Therefore it is for me because of that reason alone. Even if I never use it in my campaigns or use it minimally, I still want to have it because it is part of the collection. I really can't explain it any more than that and if you don't understand then you do not have a collector's mentality, which is fine if you don't, but don't let it cloud your judgment of why I purchase things. The very fact of the matter is I did not purchase this book for its inherent uses, however I would like to offer my two cents to those who do make the purchase for such reasons.It wasn't a mistake. Nor could the decision to purchase this book possibly sway my judgment whether I view it as a mistake or not. I view it as a poor purchase because I do not like the content. You may like the content. If what I describe is something the reader likes, then by all means the reader should purchase it. But if the reader values the same kinds of content that I do and is NOT of a collector mentality, then such a reader probably should not purchase the book, which is why I wrote this review.Quite incorrect. The book is bad TO ME because of what it is. To others who like the same things I like and dislike the same things, it will be bad to them as well. I had no expectations about this book so your assertion that I did not like what the book is not have absolutely no grounds. I didn't expect anything in particular from this book, other than it expecting it to be a splatbook for warriors that gives them a lot of options. It does that very well, too well in my opinion. By saying that I did not like the book because of what it is not, it sounds to me like you are regurgitating empty rhetoric you do not understand because you wish to sound informed. Perhaps I am mistaken, but I'm just calling it like I see it. Since your post was fairly rude, I think that's fair.I'll ignore the fact that this is downright insulting and simply note once again I had no predetermined feelings either for or against this book. If anything, I am what some would call a WotC fanboy, and I think the vast majority of the books they publish are worth their weight in gold. It is for this reason I was so surprised to be disappointed with the Book of Nine Swords, and I wished to relay my feelings to the gaming populace. As long as you can accept that not everyone likes to play the game the same way you do, not everyone has to agree that this is a good book. I for one, do not.</blockquote>
