[QUOTE="rackabello, post: 320620, member: 6293"] i have T&B and S&F, and will eventually get the others. Sword & Fist is alright, with some interesting feats and interesting PrClasses (i'm partial to the Devoted Defender, Duellist and the Clint Eastwood/spaghetti western PrC -- Ghostwalker?), though some of the weapons were a bit silly (gotta love the orc shotput though). Its poor editing must be embarassing to WotC, but never bothered me much. Tome & Blood has more going for it, in my opinion. Excellent new feats and some useful spells, metamagic items. I think the PrClasses are great, with only one or two duds. The Blood Magus is truly inventive (and rather demented) and even an oddity like the Candle Caster is rooted in a fresh concept. Would have liked to see a bit more attention paid to Sorcerers, as many of the classes are available to them only at high levels. I'm only marginally interested in the organizations and sample stongholds, keeps and such presented in the books. I think it might have been cool for each of the splatbooks to devote space to suggestions for multiclassing options for their featured classes -- something like the articles that have appeared in Dragon from time to time. Finally, I have to say that I'd have all of the splatbooks already if they were cheaper. At $20 a throw they keep getting shunted to the bottom of my list. Slight tangent: who coined the phrase splatbook, anyhow? is it meant to be pejorative? [SIZE=1]edited to correct poor editing of my own [/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
