I noticed that someone suggested a Campaign workbook compendium but you know what I think would be really great . . . Class Acts Compendium . . . or a Feats and Skills Compendium. How about Sage Advice Compendium organized by question topic of course? Or a Bazaar of the Bizzare Compendium?
Just a side note, it would be great if WoTC would consider making a Feat/Skill compendium. They just put out the Spell Compendium not long ago and that thing is great. I would love to see the same type of resource book for Feats and Skills.
Now you're just being silly. ;)
Am I?
Am I?
I think the issue is there is a persistent compliant, especially among DMs, that every single book put by WotC out seems to be nothing but pages and pages of feats and prestige classes. Now you want a book that is in fact nothing but feats ... it can come across as a joke - in the context of the board as whole and the sort of things we tend to b##%% about around here.
I agree with you that there is something like a need for such a book - there are feats coming out of our ears after all and it can be tough to keep track of them all.
In fact I found the situation overwhelming enough that I put together a feat index for my players that covered all the allowed feats from all the books that we were using and included prereqs and a brief description of what the feat does. You can find a similar index on line (and that is what I based my own off of) but it may include feats from books your not using.
See, I want a book that is in fact NOTHING BUT FEATS AND SKILLS. None of the other stuff you get with the WoTC books. I mean they did it for the spell compendium why not do the same thing for feats? For a DM it would be great to have ONE book or maybe TWO to carry around instead of 50 million! Not to mention on a college student budget I can't afford to get alot of the books that may contain valuable info.
I would buy a book of JUST FEATS. It would be a great resource.
I'm one of those (apparently rare)DM's that believes that less is more. I don't need, and don't allow my players, to resource any and every book they care to.
In this vein, I'd much rather see the folks at Paizo do something similar to Malhavoc Press' Best of d20 book. It would of course focus on just material from Dungeon and Dragon, but would sift through the masses to find the real gems instead of just providing a deluge of more rules.
