There is a lot of good stuff in between the screw-ups, LOL. I think that the book provides maybe a 65-75% decent translation of the 7th Sea rules to d20. There are way too many glaring errors, however, significantly more than any other d20 book AEG has put out, including the notorious "one word" ones or boosters. As I've said before, I still think the book has a lot to offer for 7th Sea or D&D games, but you have to keep a careful eye out for dozens of faulty rules, omissions, etc.____NEW GOOF FOUND! I just noticed that the various fighting style PrC's mention the school's weakness, but then utterly fail to translate how to take advantage of this using d20 rules. In other words, the weaknesses are merely "flavor text" with no rules mechanics to back them up whatsoever. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f621.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":mad:" title="Mad    :mad:"  data-smilie="4"data-shortname=":mad:" /> That doesn't make the PrC's unusable by any stretch, but it does set the DM and players up for lots of confusion and house rulings if they want to implement the weaknesses mechanically. You could just ignore the flavor text and play them "as is."____Come to think of it, IMO, this book wins the prize for WORST edited d20 RPG ever from a major company, and AEG wins the prize for WORST editing of d20 products three years in a row. Editor Jim Pinto needs to be spanked... either that, or start writing his name in all caps instead of all lower case. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />This is really ridiculous, because we all KNOW that AEG is capable of kicking ass with their Rokugan and Spycraft d20 lines. So why can't they do their other d20 releases right? It frustrates me no end having to house rule a bunch of stuff because they can't be bothered to release a polished, properly edited product! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f621.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":mad:" title="Mad    :mad:"  data-smilie="4"data-shortname=":mad:" /> I mean, if I have to go to all that trouble, what am I paying them for?</blockquote>
