Message: <blockquote data-quote="TBoarder" data-source="post: 85324" data-attributes="member: 272">If you read the review that gave the book 5 stars, the reviewer only gave it that rating to offset the negative reviews, NOT because he thought he deserved it.  The reviewer flat out admitted that he would give the book 3 stars, maybe 4. Kaptain Kantrip gave many valid reasons why he believes S&F is so far ahead.  I agree with him, but unfortunately can't give my own vote in this poll, since while I don't just use the Core Rules, I also don't use any of the listed books (I'll use any of the other 4 class books, Magic of Faerun, etc, NOT S&F, even with the errata).  I refuse to purchase any more Mongoose books after being sorely disappointed by their Necromancy and Chaos Magic books.  I haven't even seen Arms & Armor yet, so I can't make any comments on it at all.As for a book needing errata, I normally don't mind it too much.  Errors happen.  I can deal with the 10 pages of errata for the Player's Handbook.  It's a huge book that is all rules.  The same goes for Magic of Faerun.  Sword & Fist though is an amazingly sparse book when it comes to the "crunchy" stuff that so often needs errata.  It's the sparseness combined with the amount of errata that annoys people the most I believe.Even more depressing is comparing Magic of Faerun with all of the class books.  MoF has more utility than all 5 class books combined.  The fact that WotC was responsible for both makes me wonder where they slipped up with the class books when they had the template for what they should've been right there, in their hands.  I'd have been more than happy paying $30 a piece for the 5 class books if they were of the same level of polish and usefulness as Magic of Faerun.</blockquote>
