This is a very good book and it is obviously the progression path of choice to continue from DnD 3.5 into the next decade. However there are three poins i'd like to raise:
1. i'm very disappointed that the basic character traits aren't in this book. I found the traits to be a very good addition to the core rules. Not having them in here is missing out on an opportunity to raise this book from epic to divine.
2. i'm a bit worried whether or not the cover'll hold. After having read the entire book it seemed that towards the end the cover is telling me that it might not hold for another 10 years.
3. i'm a bit disappointed also by the choice of prestige classes in the book. There seems to have been mainly attention for magic users to progress into a prestige class and also a bit for rogues. A barbarian or fighter has no choice or only one choice. The melee guys in my party were none to pleased with that.
Other then those three minor points, the job they did on overhauling the rules is amazing and almost all issues i had with DnD 3.5 have been resolved or at the very least seriously mitigated. Given the price one needs to get all the basic material in: it's a must buy for anyone who liked DnD 3.5 and wants to continue along that path!
