[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 3824084, member: 1465"] I can't help but thinking this could really be the most useless book ever :( I was expecting the same idea as Spell Compendium: a collection of lots of additional rules from supplements, and some new stuff. Instead it's 100% reprinted stuff (I hope I'm wrong, but...), and the worst part is that from the index it looks to me like 90% is actually from the PHB and the DMG. Two books that you're always going to bring to the gaming table anyway, so this book is not even going to spare you some weight. The nicety of the book is that it fits well in a book collection, because it's a sort of "summary" of all 3.5 rules, well written and everything (and probably incorporating something even from the FAQ and the Sage Advice). But usefulness I see very little. [/QUOTE]
