So happy to have them bound together in between a hardcover, and the art on said hardcover is as good as it gets. I certainly appreciate taking the job to Wayne Reynolds here. Sometimes I still stop before I open it just to take another look at its awesomeness. It truly belongs poster sized and framed, hanging on the wall of my gameroom.</p>
<p>The art on the inside is certainly a step up from the old art, but doesn't come close to the perfection you'll find on the cover. It's deffinately nice to see it in color though. Its to bad the pages aren't glossy. The quality of the paper used is nice, but the pages seem to want to stick together a bit. Nothing beats glossy in my opinion.</p>
<p>The only real issue I have with this book is the lack of an index. I use the index in my books constantly. This is so important to me that it's gonna cost it a star, and it is the sole reason for that ding.</p>
<p>This is a wonderful book. I don't know how you could call yourself a fan of psionics without it on your shelf, and if your not a fan of psionics, it's probably because you don't have this book on your shelf. To me this books a necessity.</p>
<p>Mines brand new, but if they printed a copy tomorrow with glossy pages and an index, I'd buy another. Fantastic job guys!</p><p><b>Ultimate Psionics (PFRPG)</b></p><p>The mechanics of this book are solid, just as its 2 predecessors.

Of course it doesnt come with a mini for every creature you encounter but most the gaps can he filled with a pawn or a paper mini. I was surprised that judge ironbriar didnt have a mini though. This is as far as i am in the AP so hopefully the rest of the tough guys have minis. </p>
<p>The rune giant would be flawless and one of my favorite pieces if not for his eyes being to close together, leaving him looking... lets say, simple. I also have a issue with the ogrekin. The book has awesome artwork for these monsters but the mini set gives you a generic looking ogerkin. Not a fan. I understand they do this so that you can use the same one for every encounter, but I'd rather have separate ones that look as awesome as the art.</p>
<p>On the upside most the rest of the pieces are pretty nice. The female sorcereSS, dwarf ranger, amieko, and several others are all excellent quality and i will use them for many more games after runelords. The stone giants, forgefiend, and the ogre brute are some of my favorites. And the rune giant is still awesome, even though he looks like he rode the short bus</p><p><b>Pathfinder Battles—Rise of the Runelords</b></p><p>I got my case a couple weeks ago.
