Format:Hardcover
Gives specifics about mastering a weapon(similar to double specialization but much better).
The revised weapon tables are much much better. No longer is the crossbow a useless toy that is only used by npcs. After so many mage power-ups its about time the fighters got one too.
The complexity of the rules is howvever not for the inexperienced. DMs need to read the rules carefully and implement them slowly.If some parts (example leaping nonweapon profiency) seems to be giving problems, simply don't use it.. Once the DM is fully conversant with them, the battles can get much much more interesting.
Format:Hardcover
This is a very good book, I believe that everyone who wants more realistic Combat Rules and new Strategies, Proficiency's and Tatics will enjoy a lot this book. Many things is incluided like the new Critical Hit's System and table's of critical Hit's Severity. Ignore The guy that gave 1 star to this book, he probaly never read it or even have played AD&D because if he had, he will not say a stupid thing like a Goblin with a dagger taking off a arm from a Human. So if you want good and realistic Combat to your campaign you should already had this book! GET IT!
Format:Hardcover
This book really takes in account for the chance that takes place in battle. It gives thought how you can battle and how you can run a game that is more realistic. I'm glad that Skip has communicated how he ran his D&D games in college.

This book is too unrealistic
This book sux. The critical hits chart is very stupid, a goblin is not going to cut a big human's arm off with a daggar. Read more

Campaigns are bloodier, More weapons available.
This book and all the player's option books should be renamed to "Dungeon Master's option" While the book allows better unarmed combat rules, this book and the others... Read more

Relieves your characters from hack and slash gaming
This book is fabulous. If you're tired of plain old roll a 1d20 and see if your character hits, then this is the book for you. Read more

Great Addition
This book has everything that I already have implemented in my campaigns. The critical hit system is a bit extensive but the unarmed combat rules are fantastic. Read more

A book containing useful and unique information.
This book is organized pretty well, and contains a lot of useful information; especially about weapons and armor that you can hardly see in any other book. Read more
