[QUOTE="Upper_Krust, post: 1095623, member: 326"] Hi all! :) I voted Deities & Demigods, though not for most of the reasons I have read from some of you. I got the impression the book didn't know its market. I mean it didn't cater for Immortal based campaigns, since it had no rules for Divine Ascension, Progression or any other of the myriad components vital to such games. Neither did the book cater for non-epic campaigns; it provided scant details on the deities religions; temples; spells; customs etc. What we did get was a book primarily dedicated to statting gods for no apparent reason and even the stats themselves were fairly boring and habitually repeated the same material over and over again (In fact I would anticipate over 30 full pages are squandered from repeating the same material). Neither the Gods, nor their Avatars, are weak enough to make them viable opponents for non-epic campaigns and the book didn't wholly embrace the epic rules so you get a disjointed feel using them in conjunction. Added to which WotC didn't seem to know how to determine a deities CR with any confidence, so it was all a bit of a letdown. Still, the art was nice. :p ...Oh, and I'll buy your book Kamikaze Midget. :) [/QUOTE]
