Review # 1 was written on 2008-04-02 00:00:00 Monty Timmins While marginally more useful than Combat and Tactics I found it very difficult to incorperate any of the rules in Spell and Magic without seriously derailing the game. While many of the ideas they attempted to impliment here work very well in other systems for some reason d20 always chokes on them when they are introduced.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-07-22 00:00:00 Jeff Edelstein This is a book that has waxed and waned in my estimation as the years have gone by. Initially, I was hugely enthusiastic about the options provided, especially the character creation options. As the years went by, I moved back towards simpler game design, but now I like how it has a robust character creation system that can, with a bit of finesse, move beyond the class system and into more open character creation. As a 2e book, you have to realize that the guiding principle of 2e was that of the toolkit... a mess of options for creating your own game, with a bare framework to hang it on. And in that respect, it does admirably.
