What an excellent product! With all the many guides and supplements available out there, I'm always astounded when someone manages to come up with something truly original, and Root and Twig is one of the most original I've come across. So many new options for every character class, and all of them deeply linked to the overall "lumberjack" theme in clever and interesting ways that add a breath of fresh air while also being easily integrated into any campaign in the Forgotten Realms, Eberron, Ravnica, or any other official or homebrewed setting. The "Rootborn" also adds an entirely new class that offers even more original and exciting possibilities.
Full disclosure: I'm listed in the credits as a Design Consultant, but that's really just a generous way of saying I was one of their beta readers. I loved the early draft I saw of this, and the final product is even more impressive... particularly with all the original art that has been added. Artist Pat Maxton did a wonderful job interpreting each of the subclasses, and the overall visual design gives this supplement a polished, unified feel. Definitely worth checking this one out!
