The Genius Guide to: Races of Hoof and Horn
This product is 13 pages long. With a cover and intro section taking up 1 page. This product introduces 3 new races.
Asterion – Half Minator race. The first section deals with their introduction, description, society, religion etc. That takes up 2 pages. Next is the racial traits section and new feats. Which includes 4 new racial feats. This takes up just over 1 page.
Lapith – A sorcery created race out of centaurs, humans and elves. The first section deals with their introduction, description, society, religion etc. This takes up 2 pages. Next is the racial traits section. One of their race powers is the ability to switch between centaur looking and bipedal form. There is also 7 new racial feats. This takes up about 2 pages.
Piper – They are half satyr and half other. Often from pairings with druids. A interesting side part is they are typically born twins and the vast majority are female. The first section deals with their introduction, description, society, religion etc. This takes up 2 pages. Next is the racial traits section and new feats. Which includes 5 new racial feats. This takes up just over 1 page.
It ends with half a page about magic and the races using natural attacks and 1 page for the OGL.
Closing thoughts. Each section also has a list of sample names for each race. The races where interesting and well written. I personally liked the Piper the most. The racial feats fit the race and seemed fairly well balanced over all. The Lapith might be a bit weak IMHO but fun for those looking for something different. Layout and editing was good. I didn't notice any big errors. Now I do have one complaint about this book and thats the art. The first couple of B&W art is pretty good, there is one color art which is meh. The rest is 3D art, I suppose it is ok for 3D art but I just don't like it. I don't even think the 3D art used is great 3D art. But art aside this is a nice book for those looking for additional fantasy races of something a bit different and I recommend it for the price. I am giving this a 4 star review despite the art.
