This PDF had a lot of promise. Unfortunately, it still has issues and the author hasn't posted on it since 2011, which I believe means it's a dead product, that won't actually get to the "Worth a buck finished!" stage. You will spend hours inputting data into fields, that when you return to work after saving, have disappeared. The data is still there, you just have to try and remember which fields you input data into and call them back to the card. It's frustrating. Sadly, I'm going to have to give this 1 star and NOT recommend anyone purchase it.
Wow. I mean wow. This book is all about not being innovative. Magus- A+. Good work Paizo. Everything else is pretty terrible. For every gem they printed in the book, there are 3 more lumps of coal right around the corner.
The class archetypes seem to be all about allowing every class to fulfill every role.
The entire chapter about binding outsiders, spell duels, spell building, modifying constructs etc is situational at best. Wasted space on pre-generated spellbooks should have been a $2 release for printing purposes, not 6-8 pages in a manual size book.
Feats- About the only ones worth while are the ones that have "extra"" in the title.
Words of power. Let me just say that right from the beginning I thought Words of power was a clunky un-needed system. So I skipped that section and didn't let it raise or lower my opinion of the book. I realize that this section, specifically, is more of a "Not my cup of tea" area and others might find genuine enjoyment out of the system.
Spells. Sigh. Everyone always wants more spells. More options. Well- there comes a point when generating more spells is just bad. The use and need of them becomes exponentially worse. As such the quality of a spell is also worse. Spells are something that should be generated because you GENUINELY have an innovative idea. The spells in this book were not that. They were page fillers, and as such, there really isn't much worth while.
All in all, this book was a dropped ball. They could have generated the Magus class and alternate features and sold it for $10 soft cover or $5 PDF and they probably would have made more profit and had a product that was easily 200% higher in quality.
