[QUOTE="Messageboard Golem, post: 2008746, member: 18387"] Wow, I never quite read such a well-rounded review as Alan Kohlers! I have complained in a previous review of their lacklustre covers for their products. How do I comment on this one? They could think to even put a cover on it? I see the tactic is to borrow off of WOTC older established branding of their race/class splat books -but this is just so damn cheap. Artists need your support guys (all d20 publishers) so stop using rehashed covers from old artists and don't forget to even create on in the first place! The fighting styles should not have tried to use something outside of feats and PrCs. I like the core rulebooks and it is great WOTC opened it up for 3rd party. I do not like companies that change something just so they can say it is theirs. Fighting styles could be completely rewritten to use exisiting rules and not have me figure out something new. The Open Mass Combat System (OMCS) will not become a standard unless they fill it out with more detail -the magic part of it need major work. It should really be in a book on war -whereas this is supposed to be a class book as I understood it. It could have received better treatment if it was more thoroughly explored. Ok, Alan summed it up but I am not going to give this a 3. If you are impressing yourselves with making 4 books per month then great -but 4 mediocre to worse books is no impressive feat unto itself -just a waste of alot of trees -please make sure you are using recycled paper.
