A great tome regarding alchemy and herbalism. I was looking for something a little more geared towards herbal healing and the likes and didn't get it, but it's a good standalone source book.<br><br> <b>LIKED</b>: It's actually very thorough and well presented.<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: Despite it's great depth of material, I walked away unsatisfied; how can I use herbs to heal? What mixtures should I concoct to treat a poison?<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Acceptable<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Satisfied<br>

Wow. Just wow. So good. A+++ WOULD BUY AGAIN. If you like alchemy or herbalism, buy this book, even if you aren't intending to use it for tabletop gaming (I'm using it for LARP source material.)<br><br> <b>LIKED</b>: A Ken Burns-like level of detail about alchemy, alchemical processes, alchemical products, herbalism, herbalism methods, etc. <br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: This book is so full of awesome I felt sad when I finished reading it all. :(<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Very Good<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Very Satisfied<br>

Loved the print 3.0 version; love the expanded 3.5 electronic version. The be-all end-all for lists of magical alchemical/herbalist items (though the extra class and crafting rules in the book should probably be dumped).<br><br> <b>LIKED</b>: The herbal/alchemical items.<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: The extra crafting rules (multiple feats, prestige classes, etc.) that they require in this book to create the alchemical items.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Excellent<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Very Satisfied<br>

I had the 3.0 version and thought 3.5 would never be released. Still has great information for both herbalism and alchemy.

Wish there were more books like this one.

<br><br> <b>LIKED</b>: Everything. Prestige classes, various plants are two of the things I like most.<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: Nothing to dislike.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Excellent<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Very Satisfied<br>

This product is an update to one of Bastion's oldest products. It looks at alchemy and herbalism as sciences that have skills that are feat based rather than reagent based (in other words the PC doesn't have to worry about the ingredents of the substance to be produced). There are a ton of examples to act as guidelines for those who want to create their own concotions. The PrCs are, and obviously should be, very narrow in scope as they relate to item creation. There are 3 for the alchemists- one for unliving items, one for living items and one that creates items for both. Herbalists have two PrCs- one that deals with healing and the other will all forms of herbalism.

The only reason I am not entirely pleased with it is some information that is still confusing. The item creation feats mention xp costs and that only applies to the magical items created with them (they act as a limited form of craft wonderous item for spellcasters but still are mostly used for non-magical alchemical items). A chart mentions how some feats are optional (which I like) and yet the chapter on feats indicates they are required. DMs shouldn't have much trouble with this at all if they read the book and make rulings to the players who want to use it before the book is allowed in the DM's campaign.

Even with all that, I still love it and consider it one of Bastion's best works.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Excellent<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Satisfied<br>
