Great book!

Skills and Powers lets you expand your Dungeons and Dragons character as far as your imagination will let you. It lets you customize your character just the way you want it. It gives new rules, better equipment lists, and many new races for you to base a character on. All in all, a great book!

Customizing Characters and Exciting New Rules! Get It!

This is one of the best AD & D books ever created because now you can choose what Abilities you want priority with The new Sub-Abilities Rules. In this book we also have a new System, The Character Point's (CP's). With The CP's we can buy Racial and Classial Abilities. For a example, a Wizard spending 15 CP's can use Armor, and the unspend CP's can be used in Weapon and Non-Weapon Proficiency and much more. If you want more realistic and Exciting for your Campangain This is The Perfect Book for you, GET IT!

A powerful addition to AD & D rules

This book seems to be a great help in Character genarations as well as helping a DM have a wealth of information at his or her fingertips. The only drawback of making the "too powerful" characters can easily be avoided by a good DM or just by asking the group if they want to lay down some rules to avoid such characters.

Great Book!!!

I've been playing D & D and AD & D for two decades now and I have to say that this is probably the best book ever written to suppliment the AD & D core rule books. It gives you the freedom and guidance to expand your games to unimaginable heights and detail unheard of before the publishing of this work. With it's companion guides for Combat and Spells this book has totally and forever changed the way that I look at the game and my roleplaying experiences in general. BRAVO!!!
