This is by far one of the coolest things in the realm of D&D ... I like the ability to expand a character beyond what the basic addition has ... the Basic D&D has about 8 classes, but you add these type of books, and get about 10 times that many ... if they added some races, we'd be cookin' with some serious gas ... this is a great invetment ... a must if you play a certain type of charater, and want to expand your playing field ...

I own all of the WoTC expansion books and this one is the all around best. The other books are geared towards DM's, in that they create prestige classes which would make colorful NPC's. Song and Silence has a healthy selection of prestige classes that players would actually like to become. Futhermore, the feats are very well defined and thought out, and in some circumstances, improved (S&S redefines, for the better, some of the expansion feats in Sword and Fist).

This book would be somewhat useful to me if I was playing a rogue. Since I'm playing a bard, it wasn't really worth the money. One new prestige class for bards and a few new spells. Some of the content is useful, particularly the section on traps, but it's not indespensable material.
