[QUOTE="Turjan, post: 2495445, member: 3477"] Maybe, you should focus that poll a little bit? It's not completely clear what you are after. Are you looking for generic supplements for your D&D game? In this case, I would be wary of 'Magic of Faerun', because the spells are often a bit overpowered compared to standard D&D. Some Bastion press books have also balance problems (in both directions), but there are several very good general supplements, like 'Spells & Magic' or 'Airships'. If your question targets the setting, the Bastion setting is called 'Oathbound', and you'd probably mention that in your poll. The Oathbound setting has a higher power level compared to standard D&D. As it's not meant to be mixed with a, let's say, Greyhawk game other than used consecutively, balance questions hardly come up. If you ask for the internal balance of the Oathbound campaign book, you might want to have a look at the new 'Wildwood' book first, which is a standalone setting book and seems to have overhauled the elements (e.g., prestige races) which had been a bit wonky before. While I obviously disagree with your last statement (see above), the days of the sole Todd Morasch style as far as art goes are long gone. :) [/QUOTE]
