[QUOTE="Crothian, post: 2011871, member: 232"] Unorthodox Ranged Combatants Unlike previous book in this series, this one centers on a concept more then an individual class. This book offers new and different ways to have people who specialize in different types of ranged weapons. There are five new core classes, two prestige classes, and artifacts listed here. The PDF comes in a four meg zip file and inside there are three version of the book. There is one in word and two in PDF formats. The book is well book marked and laid out much like others in the series. The art is okay and many of the pieces are clip art from old times. The first class is the Demolitionist. These people use craft Black Powder (Charge) to create grenades and bombs. They have the ability to create some very powerful items but they are of course all one use items. The class will need time and money to create its weapons. It is a pretty well balanced and interesting class for those that want to introduce these type of weapons into their game. The Improviser is a very interesting and creative class. They use anything they can as thrown weapons. They get lots of interesting abilities making them very good at what they do. It would have been useful if a chart of common items and damage for them were included in the class though. The Leviathan Slayer is my favorite class in here.

The spear has always been an under used item in the games and its good to see something devoted to it. The Pistolier is a person who uses black powder pistols and rifles. I like the versatility of the class allowing a character the ability ro modify their weapon with ease rules to do so. The Wandslinger is an interesting class of a person who specializes in uses wands. They get use out of the Use Magic Device skill and get bonuses to it for using wands. They eventually can do things with wands even wizards cannot. The first prestige class is the Divine Archer. It is very much like the Arcane Archer with a few different abilities.
