Nope. They have chaotic evil paladins in it.

That's true, but you can always line-item veto that blasphemy out of the book. Personally, I think their (mis)use of the word "paladin" is a sign of laziness. If James Wyatt can come up with "Holy Liberator" surely they can come up with decent names for their variant "paladins."

Yeah, I'm going to pick it up. The no referred to the fact that I hadn't yet, then I went on to note the blasphemy. I head off to Warlord Comics this Saturday to look it over and see what else there is. Then I harass everyone in the gaming club until they decide to actually come to a meeting. :evil

Need to look it over first. All I've got right now is hearsay.

Re: Unearthed Arcana

I picked it up. There are several things I like (reputation, honor systems, and so forth) and some things that made me scream "No! Not Skills & Powers! RUN AWAY!" (Character flaws in exchange for feats, anyone?) And gestalt characters. Who thought that up? I mean, seriously.

Re: Unearthed Arcana

What do you think of the multitude of class variants? I am quite pleased with them myself.

Re: Unearthed Arcana

You know my opinion on the so-called "paladins." Other than that, there are several good things in there. I haven't played any of them yet, though. I might try the generic character classes if I ever get the mood for something that I truly can't do through multiclassing (a rare occurrence).

I liked the bloodlines...

The planar races were good to. Going to use a couple to :evil

Re: Unearthed Arcana

I do not care for the bloodlines or the elemental races, but I like some of the environmental variants, such as "desert elves."

Re: Unearthed Arcana

I object to the fact that tieflings got a paragon class but aasimars did not.

Re: Unearthed Arcana

That is pretty frinckin strange isn't it? I knew that WotC had a anti Choatic bent, but this? Maybe there's something in the The Book of Exalted Deeds to balence this?

On the Bloodlines, I have a world where being 100%, factory-floor model human is rarer than forest loving dwarves. The bloodlines are a huge help and mimic things like magical fallout very nicly.

Re: Unearthed Arcana

Actually, I think they stated that leaving out the aasimar paragon was an error. I eagerly await the errata.
