Gaming fix

Still don't have one. But I did pick up the Complete Warrior, and the Draconomicon.

There is, of course, some complete and utter cheese in the Complete Warrior, but it looks like it could be managed by any GM with a spine. I have to say, I love the Tactical Feats and the Weapon Style Feats... a couple of the Prestige Classes, however... erg...

Draconomicon... well, haven't really got into it much, but there is a lot of information there. I mean, all kinds of stuff. I think one of the more interesting things I have read in it, thus far, is the environmental requirements to hatch dragon eggs. I see a module hook or three in that...

Draconomicon...is that the kinda decorative covered book with all the bits and bobs inside like dragonn skin and such?

Not as such, no. It's a D20 book produced by WotC that contains an enormous amount of information on dragons in the AD&D worlds. All kinds of nifty stuff, including dragon religions, dragon biology, breeding habits, environments necessary to hatch dragon eggs, dragon prestige classes (a few P-classes for humanoids as well), new magic items, rules for playing dragon characters, etc.

The Complete Warrior is another D20 WotC book that reprises a lot of information from the Sword and Fist, Masters of the Wild, etc. books in 3.5 terms, adds a number of new P-classes, a drekload of Feats (including Tactical Feats, specific Weapon Feats), and a bit of new equipment. (There is also some incredible cheese in the book, but that's to be expected...)
