This book was excellent -- one can regard this as DnD 2.5. Prior to this everyone of the same class and race was essentially the same minus whatever treasure the characters owned and roleplaying fluff players added, and since most people can't play anything other than 1-dimensional orc slaying, treasure stealing sociopaths, every character of the same race and class was the same. The core mechanic of character creation is the "character point". With the points you customize your racial show more powers, class powers, proficiencies, and non weapon proficiencies. I had many hours of fun with the player's option system. If you like AD&D 2e, the player's option series will take your game to the next level. show less
Okay, guys. You need to buy this one just for the wonderful artwork in here. Put the whole thing on a frame and stick it on the wall 'cause it's frelling gorgeous. The stories aren't half bad too. Great adventures with just the right gothic horror feel. Highly recommended, even for d20 DMs.
