Worthwhile but perhaps rushed


This addition to the Pathfinder ruleset provides a great degree of help for many of the weaker classes, which is amazing. The help for the Monk alone has me torn between three different character concepts, so that in itself is excellent. My personal favourite part of this book, however, is how it's just a good read anyway. The pictures are interesting, and the fact that each feat (even if some are questionable and possibly not particularly useful) gives a new and flavourful way of being a hero is a very exciting thing. The style feats offer many different versions of what was before just an unarmed fighter, and the Ninja is what the rogue always should have been. If you like the Monk, the Rogue, unorthadox fighters and dishonourable paladins (the holy gun archetype, in particular), or if you like guns(!), then this book may be worth a look.

Unfortunately, I've come to expect a certain level of quality from Paizo, and that's why I can't give this product 5 stars. There are editing mistakes, and some of them make this book seem very rushed. Typos are one thing, and I'll expect one or two in a final draft, but some pages refer to feats which no longer exist or have been renamed. That part is sloppy, and I look forward to the errata.

It's still a good buy, however, and I'm happy I bought it.
