The classes, however, are all pretty interesting, even borrowing several of the new 4e classes and making them actually feel like classic Dungeons and Dragons classes. By all intentions, the Saurian are dragonfolk with a much more traditional name. The half-ogre and ratkin felt like been there, done that. Out of the three races, only the Saurian really came across as interesting. The character options offer 3 new races and 8 new classes. It is broken into two halves, character options and game master options. The 198 pg Tome is a collection of supplements that work well with the supped up Pathfinder system. Tome of Secrets sets a pretty high bar, offering just enough material to invigorate a Pathfinder game but not too much that it will overwhelm the players. Adamant Entertainment rolled the dice with Tome of Secrets and came up with a winner as the first supplement to the Official Pathfinder Ruleset. When you are the first to step your foot into the unknown, you are setting the standard for everything that follows. Beyond that, I haven't encountered anything in this book that wasn't a nice addition to my new ongoing Pathfinder campaign.īeing the First holds a lot of responsibility. PROS: nicely illustrated, well-edited by and large, and it's easy to see that more than half of this book will see play in my campaign over the coming months.ĬONS: not much, but mostly that a couple of the new classes are a bit wonky (I'm still scratching my head at the warlock.not a normal class by any stretch!) or boring (cough warlord cough). The book includes chase rules that look quite fun (haven't tried them yet), a plot path generator, optional character traits, rules on fantasy firearms, and several new classes as well. I have so far already integrated the three new player races (saurians, half ogres and ratkin) in to the game, and have seen several of the classes in play as well. This is a must-have book for Pathfinder fans, and is essentially backwards compatible with 3.X as well. I just caan't understand with all these errors and reviews pointing it out why there iesn't an updated file. This book came out around the time the final rules did and was one of the first third party to give something substantial. I'm giving it 3 stars because I happened to get it on sale really cheap, which made the price an okay trade-off. I don't care that this list is unbalanced, but I got annoyed having to reroll this. It felt a little ripped out of the diablo list without much change (which I kinda liked), but in the prefixes alone are missing entries 18 and 42, and the +1 to attributes are repeated, making the list feel a little underdone. I was most excited about the million item list (3 d100 lists) as the Diablo II: Awakening book from 2nd ed had this, and I liked it there, but there really isn't 1 million items. I can stand typos and such, but I really feel too much of this is still stuck in 3.5 edition. Although I liked the base classes and some of the content, there is a lot in need of fixing.
