well I got tome and blood for my birthday and I was looking through and I found some alright prestige classes. after a while I read a little bit farther in the prestige class section and found the Dragon Disiple. Since I am a sorcerer I was Amazed.It is literally the best Persige Class is the entire book. after thati look at the spells and I found the lesser acid orbs. they are like magic missle except a bit better.(at least i thin they are better. all in all i think this is a pretty good book.

This review is from: Tome and Blood: A Guidebook to Wizards and Sorcerers (Paperback)

"Tome and Blood" is a fairly good supplement with a wide variety of useful feat, interesting prestige classes, and a couple of good spells. Some of the prestige classes, "The Acolyte of the Flesh" and the "Alienist" for example, would be hard pressed to be useful for a player character but would be nice NPC's.

I was slightly disappointed at the variety of schools, lots of innovation for necromancy, but the other schools, particularly illusion seemed to get short handed.

Also, compared to some of the d20 licensee products like Fantasy Flight Games's "Spells and Spellcraft" or Malhavoc Press's "Eldritch Might" series, this was pretty expensive for the amount of information given.

2.0 out of 5 stars What a ripoff!
This book is good only for explaining the metamagic feats more realistically.

Beyond that, it's practically useless. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars A geuinely useful sourcebook, though not perfect
This book has some good new arcane spells, especially some low to mid level combat spells which add a great deal of potential power to your wizards. Read more
