Ysgarran:  We knew the Quintessential series would do well, but it has surprised us, and not a few gaming stores.  With any luck, enough stock should be ordered of future books to stop this happening again.Kobold:  We like pure fighters too  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />  One of the main drives behind the Quintessential series is to reward players who stick with one class.  However, we also wanted to provide some more generic prestige classes that curved away from 3e's current high-high fantasy feel.  I am not too fond with those, and I have a feeling there are more than a few traditionalists out there.RangerWickett:  Something been annoying you lately?  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />  A very catty response.  Regardless, I have to say that we at Mongoose do not have a problem with the female form.Psion:  You are one of the chaps I always make a point of reading reviews from.  Note to everyone else - this guy usually knows what he is talking about.  Usually  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />If the Chaos Mage prestige classes had meant to add to the casting level, we would have said so - we use playtesters, proofreaders (professional ones at that) and editors to ensure that what you read is what is intended.  Speaking of Chaos Magic, were you the gentleman who did the review on RPGNet?Damage bonus in the OMCS.  Umm, p101, under Recording Damage.  They are no longer 80 strong, they are 10 strong.  Of course there is no other bonus. . .  I have to admit, I may be off base here with what you are trying to get at. . . Amazing Agility - I have to say, you are the only gentleman that has brought this up.  Anybody else share this view?  Tell me now, and I'll make sure we won't do it again  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Bhadrak:  First off, I would refer to anyone using Character Concepts to the very last sentence of the first column on p4.  That is what they are intended for.  However, if a twink comes along and starts to power up his fighter, what is the beef?  How much further will he get with that one feat, as opposed to others he may choose instead.  Feat choices at 1st level for fighters are all important - as is equipment, which can bve a real pain if you have suddenly had your gold docked and are still exdpected to take the front row position. . . And remember guys - twinks are people too  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Baseballfury:  Don't worry, we have people just waiting to knock us  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />  Incidentally, for fiction each is to his own, but I would not mind hearing about books _full_ of rules gaffs.  First time I have heard that one. . .About Urklore, Ibach and the Rest:  Leave them alone guys.  First off, they are not part of Mongoose, they are just volunteer playtesters.  The only thing they get from us is a free copy of the book.   What they do outside of playtesting is absolutely none of my concern and I will not make it so.Davelozzi:  Our first three Slayer's Guides (Hobbers, Gnolls and Centaurs) do have some minor errors in the Reference Section.  The reprinted Hobbers corrects this, as does the reprint of Gnolls.  However, we have since brought on a few 'd20 freaks' and, all gods willing, such things will not rear their head again.DocMoriartty:  I have to say, I have to take issue with any suggestion of dishonesty on the part of Mongoose.Wulf:  The only thing I am honked off about is that people seem willing to make an issue of it.  However, if it makes everyone a little happier, I would be quite willing  to ask Morrus to take down Jeff's reviews on EN World - for all the difference that will make.If anyone wishes to take issue with any of this, feel free to contact me either on this forum (I drop in now and again) or privately.  Go ahead, you have a free shot  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Catch you all later</blockquote>
