I will however be willing to respond: 1) Villain's design book to me was a waste. I'm sorry but while there were some issues with BoVD, at least they didn't cover up the fact that if you wanted to make a vile villian or a colorful one, you didn't need extra feats to do so. Secondly my issue with this book is quite frankly I felt there were FEW if ANY villians I felt were truly villianous. Even with the anti-feats, at best they were "cute". And my comparison I draw between a "cute" villian and a REAL villian is one that's so far has stood the test of time. The Jack of Tears. I can't HONESTLY think of a more interesting and well made villian than him at this point. Bane might have been funny and Cyric nuts, but the Jack is just scary as hell. Compared to that I don't see how any of the composite villains in Villains Design book were even remote interesting. But that's me. And it is my opinion. 2) I won't even try to justify half the prestige classes that come out at time. God knows we get enough screams and cries else where. What I will say is that designs such as the one in Blacklight or even one like the Alliance Merchant are even used compared other more interesting things out there. (One wonky thing is the ability to IGNORE sneak attack damage. I know of NO other Pr-class that does that. No be able to be flanked yes, or other ways to get around it, but not BLANTLEY ignore such damage. Not unless they change into undead or constructs or other non-sneak attack creatures) That said, this is again just my opinion. 3) Flavor is fine. And certain I'd be the last person to be arguing the point. But I DO think there has to be a little more account on the part of Kenzer when it come Kalamar. But again this is just my opinion.</blockquote>
