USEFUL BOOK, BUT NOT THE BEST [Posted on 2002-03-22] I enjoyed the kits in this book, and the expanded rules on the proficiencies are good. For example, it has advanced rules on running an armorery or weaponsmithing business. However, the combat rules and most of the other stuff in the book is pretty [undesirable].
What nobody is mentioning... unless you play AD&D 2e [Posted on 2005-12-16] This book is outdated. I mistakenly bought one called the Complete Druid. Some of the spells could transfer, some were workable. But for the most part you could not tell what could even be salvaged. If you still play 2e go ahead. But don't fool the rest of us into buying it, as most of the rules not only don't work any more, they were probably changed for a reason.
Skippy the elf fights for his life [Posted on 2006-07-05] This book is a definite must for any AD&D afficianado! I remember this one time, my elf-fighter-mage (12/13/3 level, +3 to hit, +5 reaction roll), assaulted a small hut guarded by a giant three headed goat. Using the combat procedures described in this manual and the +5 helm of brilliance I found in the cave of wonders outside of the swamp of despair, I was able to vanquish the drow queen and her awful minions, including the three-headed goat. An awesome buy! :-))))
More than hack and slash [Posted on 2008-03-28] Aaron Allston single handedly took the fighter in the group from being a tank at the front taking and dealing out damage to a living breathing character.
The skills and details on specialization between the covers of this book make a warrior worth playing again.
The abilities and specialty classes will provide you with infinite role play opportunities.
I Like It [Posted on 2008-11-25] The character kits allow you to play a paladin like character without all the rubbish attributed to strict paladinhood. Plus you can specialize a weapon.
