[QUOTE="Henry, post: 3116433, member: 158"] There was a good bit of buzz, and rightly so, about the Player's Handbook II - I consider it a good book that offers a bit of something to every core class from the past few years, plus it beefs up the high-level fighters in a way that people wanted for a long time. The new "BROKEN!" argument seems to be centered around the Tome of Battle: Book of Nine Swords, and more specifically the Warblade. Tome of Battle is a book designed to give a "wuxia" feel to non-Asian-themed campaigns, by offering quasi-magical abilities to martial classes. Because of newness, the jury's still out on true "unbalance" or not, but you can find the threads here and at WotC pretty easily. This may be superceded by the buzz on "Complete Mage", the new splatbook. Think in the tradition of "complete arcane" and you won't be far off - the big buzz is the Reserve Feats, which look pretty neat. I'm surprised no one has mentioned "Transcend Mortality" yet - a spell which may have people playing 17th level Wu Jens JUST so they can play with that spell once or twice. :) Welcome back!!!
