I must admit that I was expecting something at least two or three times as thick. Once I got into the book I had mixed feelings. Some of the new prestige classes I liked; others seemed overly powerful or downright pointless. The new feats were good in concept but frequently unclear in design; the rules for chariots and the alternative uses for skills already present in the game were both good. I wasn't so impressed with the last quarter of the book - simplistic maps of various buildings with brief, one line descriptions of each room. I could design these myself, in three times as much detail, in just half an hour. Also, the sections on how to play your fighter or monk seemed to be more suited to the Hero Builders Guidebook. The new weapons - a few interesting weapons, and a few absurd ones which won't ever get within a mile of my game. The main gripe, however, is the number of mistakes. The book seems to be filled with them - many of the feats are unclear or ambiguous and need clarification. Important details are left out of some prestige classes (the Halfling Outrider is missing an entire column from its class abilities table).All in all, a reasonable product but with too many flaws and not enough pages. Without the errors I would have given it an average score. As it is, I rate it poorly.</blockquote>
