This is an excellent 3.0 and 3.0 product that changes the perception of fighter based classes, and their otherwise limited options in battle. Though this is not the final word on fighter efficacy, it is a great and inexpensive product that highlights a lateral way of thinking about martial/magic user disparities. A pseudo warforged race is an excellent addition as well, and feats that grant fighter classes magical bonuses/abilities without the need for multiclassing round this book out as a wonderful look into design and mechanic philosophy for one of the most developed role playing systems.

The Book of Iron Might purports to do for fighters and martial characters what the Books of Eldritch Magic did for spellcasters, and it is more than up to the task. Actually I almost like it a bit better because of what it tries to do! Books of More Magical Stuff are pretty easy to find (though of course most are not up to Malhavoc's high standards), but a whole book of new stuff for fighting characters? That's much rarer.

The Book of Iron Might has many things to recommend it. It is very well organized. It has many new options for campaign and character design, including "maneuvers", to give fighters more things to do in combat. Heck, it even has a new character race that is quite similar to and predates Eberron's warforged and other "artificial" player character races!

Mike Mearls knows what he is doing with D20 and it shows through in this excellent work. As always, Malhavoc produces some of the best PDFs in the industry, though this one does not contain any extra hyperlinks or other electronic enhancements.

The Book of Iron Might gives more exciting options to martial characters of all levels.
