I'm a little surprised that you're singling out the Player's Guide series as a brilliant example of supplement design. I gave my copies of the fighter and arcane guides away.Scarred Lands has excellent fluff. I /really/ like the setting and all it's grim and gritty implications. I don't like the fluff, however. Most of thier prestige classes come off as just too overpowered in my eyes. I'm of the philosophy that prestige classes shouldn't trump the core classes and the Player's Guide prestige classes are very obviously more powerful than the core classes. While I like good fluff and flavor, the mechanics of a supplement are what ultimately sell it too me. I can invent my own flavor and in doing so have vast amounts of inspiration from television, movies, and literature to draw from. What I'm not in the mood to do is invent my own mechanics. Tweak, modify, or alter, sure. Create, no.I suppose that the Scarred Land prestige classes are just a little too uber for my tastes. I'd prefer supplements that were a little lower powered. A bit grittier to better fit my view of the world and heroes.</blockquote>
