I admit I had a lot of expectations before, so this might have made my opinion worse. As a minor thing, it has the worst art of D&D books together with Deities & Demigods, which I consider completely useless save for non-rules ideas, and would have been my second pick (if I noticed that I could have voted more... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f644.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll eyes    :rolleyes:"  data-smilie="11"data-shortname=":rolleyes:" /> ). Third of the list would be Savage Species, very disappointing but still with some useful stuff.I agree that Hero Builder's Guidebook is the worst book I have ever seen anyway. Among classbooks, Song & Silence is the only one I basically have never used... save for some equipment and a couple of feats.I think the other ones are mostly decent, but some are admittedly minor books:- Stronghold Builder's Guidebook is well done but I don't think it would be used more than once in a campaign (and not by players, as it presents itself!)- Book of Vile Darkness is just a bunch of bits, and not very inspired. The art is unneededly sickening- Monster Manual II uninspired for more than half the monsters, usable for the rest- Book of Challenges has more use for weirdos' campaigns, but if you adapt the ideas you can actually use it all- I am not familiar with psionics, but PsHB didn't seem bad (I looked at it very long time ago anyway)- OA is very good indeed, and I don't know why it's on the listBut my biggest question is... what the hell is Manual of the Planes doing here? That book is simply my favourite! I want to know the explanation from the ones who voted it... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f615.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:"  data-smilie="5"data-shortname=":confused:" /></blockquote>
