This source book has a lot more going for it than the title would leave you to believe. Sure, it opens up with a system of merits and flaws and providing racial modifiers to the core classes, segueing nicely into a few Prestige Classes, et al. But come Chapter Three, we get some great combat stuff - various ways to use Initiative, critical fumbles, weapon speeds, armour damage, healing, down to the finite detail for Critical Hits, permanent injuries... I could go on. A GM/DM/ST (whoever runs the game) could live in the pages of Chapter Three for the duration of a dozen different storylines.
Chapters four and five are steeped in alternate magical systems, including a much desired spell-point system. Also in the mix are skill-check based casting rules and a few new/alternate magic systems such as geomancy and soul-crafting. But we haven't even hit the best part yet. They did indeed save the best for last.
The final chapter details in simple rules for creating cities. And when I say simple, I mean the cities has Ability Scores and Modifiers like every other D&D character.
So ignore the title. Whether you play in the game or run the game for others, you can do a lot worse than this book with tonnes of alternate material for everyone at the table.
