Review title: Not quite a d20 book
Product review: I really wanted to like this book, I really did. However, the ad copy and what the book is capable of are two completely different things. This book does not entirely break down d20, in fact the section on such rules is almost an after thought. Those experienced with the d20 system will be surprised to find mechanics that are completely different from those you are familiar with... most with no explination for the changes. The combat system causes the biggest "what the heck?" moment. It is wildly different from normal d20. What is worse is that it feels relatively obvious that it was written by someone with a poor understanding of the d20 dynamics. As such, this book can hardly be plugged straight into any d20 setting like it claims.Now, it does have some good parts, and those familiar with Tri-Stat might like its spin on the d20 mechanics. However, those looking for an addition to a current or existing campaign should look elsewhere.
