Closing Thoughts. Neat idea and most of the feats are pretty good. The artwork is fair. A couple of them I am just not sure people would take. Useful at sometimes but not often enough I think most would take a feat. I would have liked to have seen some of these become combat maneuvers instead of feats. Most of them are pretty good and will make for more tactical choices in combat for those that take them. I would like to see a book of combat maneuvers from SGG down the road. With all that said it is a solid product from SGG, I am giving it a 3.5. I didn't feel it is as good as most of their products but still a good buy for the price.
