The Psychopomp an incredibly compelling concept for a new class, and I would stress that it does indeed feel like a decidedly unique new class, fully distinct from existing classes, which is no small feat, as the existing classes pretty much cover all the bases. Interesting lore, a new thematically linked background (exorcist), three fun new spells, a new tool/skill (chandling), and a scythe weapon make this a very comprehensive supplement. For versatility, there are also four subclass options (two in the main guide, two included with the purchase as add-ons), and I like that the subclasses are linked to the type of otherworldly spirit guide you choose, which adds the possibility of roleplaying much like with a warlock patron. Kudos too, for including an NPC stat block representing a typical psychopomp.
The only real criticism I have about the guide is that its English translation is a bit rough (translated from the original Italian), making a lot of the text feel clunky, but this never prevented me from understanding what was intended, and I commend the author for attempting a release in two languages. A table of contents would also have been helpful.
Lastly, I'll also mention that the artwork and layout are excellent, making this supplement well worth the low asking price.
