I'll admit, I saw this book and I had NO desire to ever pick it up. But it's not just another guidebook? You PROMISE?

I've found Complete Warrior to be a good bit above Sword and Fist, if nothing else. I don't think it was entirely a different kind of beast, but it was greatly improved & did carry elements that the Complete Warrior lacked entirely, such as help for combat mages, ect.

Wizards seems to be putting more work into the new "class guides" than they did in the 3.0 versions.
They're trying to make them appeal to more than just people who like to play fighters or people who like to play wizards.

I distinctly remember writing a review of this several months ago. I'm glad you wrote another one, though, because most of what I did was rant about the context-less Samurai.

Well I don't know what's going on Fell since you said you wrote 2 reveiws for this book (which I don't doubt) but aren't in the database.

Yeah, I couldn't find it either. Though apparently SE knows what the score was.

The TWG ferrets are stealing reviews again. We probably just need to look under the TWG couch.

Dangit. I SWEAR I saw it in there yesterday. One (sprig's) was under "Complete Warrior" and the other was "THE Complete Warrior." Or maybe I was just drunk on Pepsi Spice. I swear I looked at two reviews for the same thing. V. strang.

Is it possible that one overwrote the other? Or that someone deleted the first in a fit of editing zeal?

The latter is more likely. The former I'm pretty sure couldn't have happened accidentally.

They wouldn't overwrite themselfs, and besides I couldn't find Fell's reveiw before I wrote mine (that's why I did it).  Some one could have accidently deleated it, not many of us that can do that.
