[QUOTE="Crothian, post: 2011482, member: 232"] Paladins and Priests There has been a new trend in PDF publishing that has been going on for quite a while. The books seem to be getting smaller and smaller. I’m not a publisher so while it may be working for them with the bottom line, as a consumer I’m not a big fan of it. I prefer the hundred page books that take a subject and really give it a good look. But the idea of the small PDFs seems to be here to stay. Paladins and Priests is a book about fantasy classes in the modern setting. Or more to the point it takes these two classes and does them like d20 Modern style advanced classes. It’s a fairly straight forward product. Paladins and Priests comes in a zip file a little under a meg and half. Inside are three different version of the book one that is even landscape. It is rare to see a landscape format offered. None of them are book marked, but I am not sure that a ten page PDF (counting the page advertisement and OGL pages) really needs bookmarks. Still, I encourage all PDFs to come with bookmarks and I prefer to see them even on these smaller products. The classes are not exact copies of the Players Handbook ones. The Paladin for instance just has an allegiance to good instead of the stricter Lawful Good. They get talents and bonus feats just like the classes from d20 Modern. There are also a few more special abilities in there so they gain an ability each level. The Paladin also only get a d8 Hit Die as well. It is also interesting to note that Paladins do not get spells. The Priest is a bit different looking as well. Their hit die is reduced t o a d6 and their base attack bonus has been decreased. They do get spells every level still and they max out at fifth level spells. They get talents like the ability to turn undead or cast a few spells spontaneously. Overall, it is a good way to take these two classes and move them to the Modern world and rules. There is not much here, one just gets the classes and a few small talents tress that go with them. There are no new feats or spells for instance. [/QUOTE]
