Dark Mistress
First Post
I have not yet played with the book only read it, so this is my impression of it with out play test.
This book is 70 pages long.
Cover, ToC etc (5 pages)
Chapter 1 - Spells (28 pages)
Spell lists for Bards, Sorc/Wizard for the new spells.(5 pages)
Spells there is just over 100 new spells. (23 pages) There is a few very interesting ones to a couple silly/odd ones. All and all they seem pretty well done and balanced.
Chapter 2 - Collages of Magic. (11 pages)
8 Wizard collages and 3 bardic schools. There is a couple of paragraphs about each one and then a couple of feats for each collage and a few general feats. It finishes with a few pages of examples NPC's graduates (with stat blocks and backgrounds)
Chapter 3 - Sorcerer Bloodlines. (9 pages)
There is ten new bloodlines. Bestial(magical beast), Divine(deity), Feline, Fiendish(evil outsider), Genie, Lycanthropic, Mixed, Monstrous, Nightmarish, and Scaly. It finishes with a couple of complete NPC's. For the most part they are interesting and seem on par with the existing bloodlines.
Chapter 4 - Familiars (6 pages)
Introduces 9 more traditional familiars as well as several example clockwork familiars. Some nice additions as options to familiars.
Chapter 5 - Magic Items. (5 pages)
Several new interesting magic items. Some from the new spells, others to support new thing(like clockwork familiars) and a few clever items.
The final 5 pages are. 1 page for which spells to add to divine casters. OGL, ad for future products, blank page and back cover.
Closing thoughts. I liked this book, I thought the PDF price was high for the page count and print cost though. If you are looking for some new arcane spells or Sorc bloodlines this book is worth checking out. I would normally give a 3.5 star to this product if I could. I dropped it to a 3 because of the price of the PDF.
