[QUOTE="Pants, post: 1638914, member: 8849"] These two books didn't really interest me all that much. Complete Warrior had some neat concepts, but was dragged down by an overabundance of boring 'weapon-based' PrC's. Complete Divine failed to interest me in any significant way. Plus, its editing is pretty atrocious. Then again, I've disliked nearly every classbook that I've bought... except for Tome and Blood. I like both quite a bit as they gave me great ideas for homebrewing my world. I can see how someone wouldn't like them (BoED has some broken and questionable rules implementation and BoVD is kinda childish mature, if you catch my drift), but I really enjoy both. Best book purchase I've made, bar none. Absolutely essential for spicing up your campaign with new rules without most of the work. Heartily recommended if you DM regularly, but this will probably absolutely useless to you if you're a player. Excellent book. It has great art, great content, cool monsters, awesome ideas for dragons, and most importantly, it makes me want to run a dragon themed campaign. Recommended if you're either a DM or a player. The Fiend Folio has some great ideas for monsters. It also has fiendish PrC's, and rules for grafts and symbionts. Great book. The MMII is less even. It has some really cool monsters and some really crappy monsters. It also has some seriously wonky CR's. It does have some good stuff and despite my love of the FF, I've used the MMII much more.
