I am extremely disappointed in this product. I have the other versions of Sisters of Rapture which are far superior. It would have been simple to include a character class table instead of having to look up the charisma class in another product. Then it refers to to the original Sisters of Rapture for feats. But my real problem is the fluff, the story of the Sisters through history. They just laid a superficial overlay on history. They just said the Sisters were involved here and here and here without any real significant effect. The monothesistic religions are foes of the Sisters who supposedly hunted them, destroyed their temples, captured and executed senior sisters. Except for the fact the Sisters of Rapture have MAGIC. Some of them were high level casters. So how could the church with opposes and condems magic been able to defeat them by purely mundane means. In fact how could the church become a significant power. In real life they converted people away from the pagan relgions by various means (including force). However, why would you convert to a religion whose priests have no powers from one where the clerics can Cure wounds, Remove Disease and even Raise the dead. There is no explanation of any kind. The Sisters of Rapture (Modern Path 2.0 Edition) just seems like a poor effort to capitalise on the original Sisters of Rapture. The Modern Path Edition is certainly not worth $12.00. It was a waste of my time and money. In fact I want my money back.

For me the Character Workbooks were a complete waste of time and money. All they were is just a set of reminders for each class just repeating what is already listed for each class in the core book as well as the sources for each class (e. add HP, add feat at levels 3,6,9, etc., remember to add favored class bonus etc.). I had expected something like discussions of the merits of various class abilities, pros and cons of choosing various feats etc. They basically took the info from the various tables and put them in blocks of texts. The Monster books were just minor variants from the author's home campaign. I don't care what they are like in your home campaign. I already have hundreds of monsters so I would not spend a cent for variants.

For me the items of this collection are worthless. Really, I want my money back.

A very good product. An interesting and powerful character who can be hired as a bodyguard. Also included are some excellent new templates and a new character race. The Dreadnought and Quickling templates are detailed but the Protector (presumably a template) mentioned in his CR 21 description is not explained. Where is this Template? This oversight reduced my rating.

This product is a worthless waste of money. In fact I want my money back. You have several maneuvers that if used provoke attacks of opportunity which mean they are not worth the risk. So then you need to waste a feat on the "Improved" version of the maneuver to actually be useful. The one that really irritated me somehow was the Cut Clothing maneuver (a la Zorro) except that without the feat you provoke an attack of opportunity. The better way to handle this in my opinion would be you take a -2 to one attack (representing precise control necessary) and if you hit you slice the clothing instead of doing damage. If you fail by 1 you still hit but do only 1 point of damage if cutting normal clothing or mar the design on armor.

The prestige class could have been replaced by a few feats.

This is utterly disappointing compared to some excellent items from Rite Publishing. I'll be having 2nd and 3rd thoughts about any future products.

The Second Edition adds to the timeline of events and adds stats for new characters, some of which were just mentioned in the First edition. In this setting it is possible for characters to make significant changes to the world which is something I appreciate in a game. If you don't have the 1st edition then this a good buy.

However in having the 1st edition I wanted more out of the 2nd edition. I wanted more details on legendary items mentioned in passing, on the various alien races, and the other dimensions mentioned. By this I mean that I want actual game crunch not just some generalized descriptions. Let's see actual beings from the major races besides Mithrans and entities from the dimensions. These should be addressed in a future product. The additions between 1st and 2nd edition was not really worth $15.00.

Rating: 4 of 5 if you don't have the 1st edition, but only 3 of 5 if you do.

Fairly interesting setting but I was disappointed in how little new magic there was. You would think that in a setting where technology advanced alongside magic there would be more technologically related magic as well as fusions of magic and technology. If magic and technology have advanced side by side for thousands of years as supposed by this setting where are the technomagical fusions that are superior to either magic or technology alone?. Where are the technology enhancing or substituting magics? In the d20 Modern setting, where magic has returned only a few years before, there are far more spells that affect technology.

One more thing - why does the cover say color edition when the entire product is black & white?

Disappointing. Incomplete. These two words describe the Wizard's Cabal supplement to me. In two areas especially I found that it failed. There was a section giving brief drscriptions of the ranking members of the Cabal but no stats for them. A book about the CAbal should stat out its major members. Then some rituals were introduced as new magic but there are no rules to show how they arrived at the DC to cast the ritual. This is a major flaw since the rituals given duplicate the effects of Epic spells but do not require an epic caster to use. Overall it just was not worth the price.

Excellent. This class makes archers a force to be reckoned with.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Excellent<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Very Satisfied<br>

A good product generally. However, the introduction describes a multi-ton chunk of building suspended in mid air but the class has no ability that makes this possible since the telekinesis ability can't lift that much weight. An update , perhaps a feat, should be added to enable this. This is the only real flaw.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Very Good<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Satisfied<br>

A fair effort. They should have considered the case of a non-evil Master of the underworld.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Disappointing<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Disappointed<br>

Disappointing. A class called sorcerer supreme should have the power to back up the title. This DOES NOT.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Disappointing<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Ripped Off<br>

It seems as though they just threw together some vague ideas about new sorcerer types without proper development. All the classes are flawed. The numeromantic sorcerer contradicts itself. It says that they cannot cast spells with material components, then says only spells with verbal components then says only spells with somantic components. The Occult detective has an ability Retributioin that summons an "arrest force" from the "Lords of Justice" to his aid. This "arrest force" is nowhere defined. The Follower of the Sixfold Septauch has a list of abilities but does not say at what level you gain them and the final ability turns the character into a NPC. The other classes aren't much better. The one prestige class has no caster level increase unless you forfeit the class special abilities, not acceptable for a caster class. The most this product is worth is $1.<br><br> <b>LIKED</b>: The only good things were the short stories and the baubles. The 1st story could have been expanded as a campaign setting. <br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: Just about everything. <br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Poor<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Ripped Off<br>

Excellent !! Everything about this product is good. What I would like to see from them next is a D20 Future Arcana product - magic continues to increase while science progresses. How would magic and science combine?<br><br> <b>LIKED</b>: Just about everything, the classes, spells, items. <br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Excellent<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Very Satisfied<br>
