4.0 out of 5 stars
A Useful, but not "Must have" book, June 27, 2007
This review is from: Alchemy & Herbalists: A d20 Guidebook (BAS1003) (Paperback)
-This is not a book for hack n' slash munchkins ;) If you like some background info you can slip into games regarding herbs (real and imaginary), weird alchemy and so on, it's kind of fun.
-There are useful magic items and things you can add into games, or make with Alchemy skill and so on.
-One thing it should have had, IMHO, is a table of poisons and beneficial chemicals, and that over sight prevents it being more widely useable and thus, makes it a 4 rather than 5 star item, sorry!
-My copy came with two badly printed/damage pages, Murphy's law, I should have returne dit but...meh.
So, a good item if you plan on playing a more, oh "Hosgwart" or "Cadfael" inspired game (and I don't mean that in a negative way, Cadfael is a fave of mine), or one where alchemy is an important part of the millieu.
:)
