Cleric is the first reforged pdf I have read, and I have to say, it is awesome. What makes a cleric unique? Channel. Yet, very few good options exist for this basically bland heal-bot action. Cleric Reforged takes channel and turned the amp up to 11. Varies abilities, scaling more than just the dice rolled, and feats galore to make channel, what can be the core of the class, worth being the core of the class. I am 100% implementing all the channel rules within for my home game. If that isn't enough for you, numerous other abilities like domains and such get a tweak or two, with side bars that I think are very helpful, especially for those of us that haven't been playing since the 80's. Amazing product here.

I am reviewing part one and two together, so this review will be pasted to both. Yes, I consider both to be 5 star products.

What makes a good adventure. Immersion and nuance, that's what. Anyone can cobble together

Tavern. Boy in trouble. Dungeon!

That said, the writer here filled the book with tidbits that will make you believe the setting. The tavern is realistic, the personalities quirky but not unbelievable, and the adversaries 3 dimensional. With minimal work every creature inside these modules is a fleshed out NPC.

Did I mention 3 dimensional? Everything you need, all the rules, spells, stats, everything is here. You could run both modules without any other product at hand, as long as you have a basic understanding of D20 rules.

My group is too high level to plug this path in, but I may just one shot the first book for kicks. If not, I'll keep it in my back pocket for next campaign. Hopefully, part 3 or even part 0 will be out by then.

This PDF is a great resource if you want to have a bunch of zombies, without doing the math/template adding yourself. Some I would have never thought of (treant, for example) make perfect sense once you read them. There are a few mistakes in attacks (as noted in Ends review), and missed opportunities (I'm looking at you, insane chattering in the zombie goblin fluff but not in the stats) that prevent a 5 star rating for the stats therein.

I picked up Rawr II because I have a dragon PC in my current campaign and this book covers a lot of options for dragons and dragon descendents. The rules are solid, I've played with building some stuff and all seems to work well, and you can customize how much or little dragon blood you have. I don't want to give too much away, but this is a highly customizable system for dragon descendants. The rules to supplement dragons themselves are also well thought out, and I will probably use almost all of them. The new monsters are balanced and well written, and I especially like the viper.

My only complaints would be that this PDF is single column, and that there is not art for all the new monsters. Both minor nitpicks in an otherwise great book.

(I was provided a free copy for this review). Along the Fairy Path is a $2.99 PDF that comes in at 22 pages. The book reads partially as an in world gazetteer, written from an in character perspective, and the use of different font and layout makes this changeover easy to navigate, and would allow you to print a page as a players handout if you wanted them to find part of the book. The first new game material you are introduced to is the new Faerie Realm. (Note: The book uses both Fairy and Faerie, and I am not sure if this is an editing mistake or intentional.) This is a Realm far more user friendly for casual players, and definitely more friendly to lower level PCs. In my 20+ years with DnD, I never really had much use for sending characters to the planes, other than as a climax to a story. The Faerie Realm is much easier for PCs to access, and the mythology connected to it steals liberally from folklore, with a Fey version of domains, similar to the realms of Ravenloft (in a good way), and a sprinkling of Fair Folk that makes me reminiscent of Exalted’s Raksha (in a very good way). You then get four faeries, with a gazetteer page, a stat page, and a picture.

A seer who is a well written plot hook, and I like quite a bit. It is a great ‘deal with the devil’ style of fey that gets paid in memories, and the only thing that needs to be done to really get great mileage out of it is to make sure those minor childhood memories HURT once they are gone.

A harvest fey, who fills a time honored niche for faeries, but has some errors (no listed size in stat block, assumed tiny, and listed as a hermaphroditic creature instead of a parthenogenetic one.), and that causes negative energy, which I’m not sure I’d leave as that type of energy if that sort of thing mattered in my game. I’m not sure what I’d change it to though, and kudos for not adding a new type that no creatures will have a resistance to.

The third is the Spindler, which is hands down my favorite creature, but it also has three issues. One, the flavor text has its power effecting the victim, and the crunch has the affect effecting the viewers of the victim. Maybe this is supposed to be an in character mistake, but it doesn’t read like one. Secondly, a CR 4 creature that’s most powerful, most flavorful, and signature attack requires a grappled opponent should have improved grapple. Lastly, in the ecology section, there is this: “The desire to force his creations on humanoids might also explain why the creature developed blood their advantage.” I have no idea what that sentence means.

The final creature is the Thin Man, a well written creature that, while an effecting monster (the only real monster of the four, the rest being obstacles, but not really ‘bad guys.’), could be used to really freak out a party if the groundwork was laid out properly.

Overall this is a really good book, and well worth the price. This is the only material I have read from Clockwork Gnome Publishing, but if your first books only issues are minor editing errors, bravo to you. I certainly would buy further products from this company based on this book, and I can see grognards like myself getting a lot of use from this book, along with those new to Pathfinder. I plan on using the Faerie Realm and the Spindler in an intro to DnD I am running Friday night for a group of 5 newbies. For $3, any book that will drive a session is well worth it, in my book.
