I've been considering picking up the Books of Experimental Might for a while now and with the Pathfinder RPG now on my desk, next months gaming budget may go towards those books.
For those who've already purchased them - could they:
1) Be used as complementary products with Pathfinder (i.e. cherry pick rules for a PF campaign)
2) Be used to "Pathfinderize" a non-Paizo class? Would the power level come close or is one still dominant?
Like most GMs, I've got my house rules, but I generally tend to mix various sources to arrive at my house rules. Generally speaking, I hate developing game mechanics, so designing/converting classes is not my cup of tea. That said, if the BoXM gave me a toolkit for tweaking 3rd-party classes, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
(I do have the PF conversion doc but was looking for something a little more toolkit oriented. Filling in dead levels with bonus feats is a decent approach, I suppose - just looking for something with a little more "oomph" so that a player might pick the 3rd-party class over a PF class.)
