[QUOTE="Desdichado, post: 5693757, member: 2205"] I always say it's better to have an option you don't want than it is to want an option you don't have. :shrug: After years of playing, we're all a little tired of the "standard" races and class combos, frankly. We're looking to do something new. On top of that, I'm always frustrated by the inherent magical nature of all the classes. Of the 11 core clases in the PHB, only four don't have some kind of spell-casting progression, and the monk is still chock-full of supernatural special abilities. Only[I] three[/I] of eleven core classes are non-magical?! Anyway, if offends my sense of world-building, verisimilitude, and the kind of swashbuckling sword and sorcery fantasy that I like. I'm very glad to have more options, especially the ones in Complete Warrior and Complete Adventurer, and the alternate classes in books like The d20 Freeport Companion, for instance. I also like psionics as an alternative to magic. Basically, I just don't really like D&D magic, I think. So splatbooks to me are pretty crucial to give me alternatives. [/QUOTE]
