3.0 out of 5 stars
Useful, but....,
By Will (San Diego, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Shadowbane Official Strategy Guide (Paperback)
There is usable information in this book, but be advised it is a mess of typos and inaccuaracies. The Worlockry skill required to gain the Danger Sense power is 23 (not 45 as listed in the guide). And that is just one example. Page after page there are typos, column shifts, and omissions. My guess is they didn't have an editor. Still worthwhile if you can sift through it, but I wish someone had cared enough to do a better job.

Updated, but still so far out of date,

This review is from: Shadowbane Official Strategy Guide (Paperback)
I bought the First Edition of this book not too long after I started playing Shadowbane, and back then it was a handy reference, even thought it had a lot of mistakes and omissions. I was pleased to see that they'd finally released an updated edition, but it is not even close to current. It doesn't have any mention of the Rise of Chaos expansion pack that has been out for quite some time, and is about to go even further out of date with the upcoming release of the "Throne of Oblivion" expansion pack.
To be honest, you'll find just as much information with at least the same level of timeliness and accuracy for free online. And if you are playing the game, and not sure how to develop a good character, don't be afraid to ask for advice from higher level players in your race/class/discipline.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Less than useless,
By A Customer
This review is from: Shadowbane Official Strategy Guide (Paperback)
It's been said that the worst kind of ignorance isn't not knowing things, it's knowing things that aren't so. In that context, the Shadowbane strat guide spreads ignorance. It is riddled with errors. Some are cut-and-paste errors, like spells with the wrong description or the trainers' spell lists that duplicate the Bard spells for the Channeler trainer. Others are factual errors, like the discipline runes, levels for spells, etc. While the numerous typos and editing errors (didn't these people have a proofreader?) are fairly obvious, the factual errors are stealthy but dangerous. You think you know something, but what you "know", what the official strategy guide told you, turns out to be dead wrong. Most of the useful material should have been in the manual. Nearly all of it is available on the Web. I bought it for the maps, but they turned out to be nearly worthless; there are player-made maps online that are enormously better.The strategy guide is a case of the publisher trying to sell you the manual that should have come with the game for an additional twenty bucks. If it was accurate that might even be worth it, but as the mess it is, you'll find one of its flaws when you least expect it and the resulting "gotcha" can put a major damper on any fun you manage to wrest out of Shadowbane. Don't waste your money on this book.
