Title: Do they even know what they're doing?
Review: I picked this up at a local bookstore, since I'm a fan of the entire Slayers franchise. However, as I looked through, half of the book was very basic character summaries, and only a fraction of the rest had anything to do with game mechanics. Also, what they 'did' have looked like the author barely watched the show, and went with cliffnotes.The spellcasting method shows some promise, but needs to be severly altered to work as well as it should. Magical items are severely underpowered (the Sword of Light is a Major Artifact that generates a blade made of pure Force, not a Brilliant Energy Weapon)My suggestion, if you want to use Slayers in a D20 environment, watch the show, and write the thing yourself.
