I initially purchased this product with the expectation that I would at least enjoy reading it but probably not have much in the way of material I would directly use in my games. I was very happily wrong.

I found the material in this book to be very clear, concise, and wonderfully detailed. First of all I really enjoyed the races section. These were all very different and fun sounding. Though I may not actually use a few of them, I have mined them for ideas (And Tibbits will forevermore be in my game!) I found the base classes to be wonderfully detailed and quite generic enough to be dropped in most setting. I personally would probably never play a couple of them but I would always give my players the option of playing them. The feat section I found to be chocked full of mega goodness, all of these will be allowed in the next campaign I run. (And to go off on a tangent the Bloodline feats absolutely ROCK!) The prestige class section I found a mixed bag, much less I will use here but all of it is good and well written and it did not spoil the book for me in any way or make me feel as if there was wasted space. The equipment section is again a wonderful treasure trove and I will make heavy use of it. Moving on to the monster section I was amazed to find some wonderful oddities and awesome Seelie and Unseelie templates! (I always have very low expectations for monster sections) The last section I will comment on is the general Dming/Gaming section. I found this less useful as I have been Gming a long time and frankly had heard one variation or the other of this. This however, does not hurt my opinion of the book as I realize this will be a great boon to others, just not necessarily myself. Lastly I will comment on the artwork. On the subject of quantity I find it to be truly adequate. Too many books today have much in the way of “filler” art taking up space where text would be better. On the subject of quality I find it to be a mixed bag, some good, some not so
