The Screen itself is a five as it's sturdy, easy to discern and use for ANY d20/3rd edition game, AND is a nice quick reference deal.The DM's COMPANION, which comes with the Screen, is more of a 4, 4.5. I liked it since it was the FIRST time we get a definatively look at ALL The PHB races and subraces in the Scarred Lands. The artwork for each races was very nicely done, and definately gave a unique feel to the book. The two adventures that come with the book "Shrine of Madness" and "Kadum's Horn" are both decent. However I will admit to liking Kadum's Horn more, SINCE it has a lot more to offer for a Scarred Lands feel. To help people out with what I'm saying, the book is divided into three distinct chapters. The first is the aforementioned race section, which deals with most of the PHB type races. The "normal" dwarves are called mountain dwarves. There's very little difference between them save that the "mountain" dwarf get use of a small spell like ability "detect magic" and "arcane mark". This doesn't significant alter the dwarf other than give it the option of going fighter OR wizard. The Charduni and the Forsaken Dwarves are all mentioned here. (If you have Creature Collection 1 you'll know what I'm talking about) Also there are three breeds of elves here, Forsaken (taken from Creature Collection 1), Wood, (which are the default elves in the Scarred Lands) and Dark Elves (not really Drow but have similiar characteristics, dark skin, evil tendancies etc.) There is no mention of gnomes since we are dealing with only those races NATIVE to Ghelspad. While the Forsaken elf isn't native, there is a growing influx in their numbers and thus a native population. Chapter 2 deals with one of two adventures in the book, to act as introductory adventures. Shrine of Madness is a nice little adventure but as I stated earlier, Kadum's Horn to me seems more appropriate even if it's a little higher level.</blockquote>
