[QUOTE="Lars Porsenna, post: 2147371, member: 24208"] I didn't mind BoED either. I use several feats from it and a few spells, and so far 1 prestige class (Lion of the Talisid...one look at the illo and I KNEW I wanted to play that character!!!). The additional extra-planar powers make sense within the context of D&D cosmology (they are for the upper planes what the Dukes, Princes, etc of the Abyss/Hell are for the lower planes) and although I haven't used then, I like the addition (I haven't used Asmodeus yet either, but I enjoy him and his ilk within the game). I'm not sure about ravages. I KNOW I saw somewhere, in some fantasy literature, folklore, etc. something similar, but I'm just not placing my finger on it yet... I also really enjoyed MotP as well. Then, I enjoyed 1e's MotP very much as well -- one of my favorite books -- even though I never used it once. Knowing its there, and having fun reading it, made it worthwhile too. At the very minimum, I could pull characters/personalities, etc from the book to spice up Prime Material adventures... [u]Stonghold Builder's Guidebook[/u] got much use from me, with 3 of my PCs building strongholds, as well as designing a number of others in a logical, consistent manner. Plus its fun to make stuff like that. The only books I really regret spending money on were in 2e, and included [u]I, Tyrant[/u], [u]Complete Book of Dwarves[/u]. and a couple others. Not worthwhile at all, IMHO. Damon. [/QUOTE]
