I planned to pick up all of the character class books, and I did. But the inclusion of the new core class, the Temptress, made me look forward to getting Hyboria's Fallen even more than I already had been.
My impression of the Temptress is nothing but positive. The execution and construction of the class is rock solid spot on perfect rendition of a prime element of Howard;s work. I can't say good enough things about it. It really blew me away!
The Shield Maiden template is of special significance to me. I had actually mailed Vincent Delarge early on in the life of the Conan RPG and asked him for help in adapting Red Sonja, based on his original 3rd edition D&D stats of her. And honestly, everything I tried afterward really was lacking. The Temptress class and the Shield Maiden archetype really solved those issues with absolute perfection.
So I really can't thank Vincent enough for this book.
The three books. Hyboria's Fiercest, Hyboria's Finest, and Hyboria's Fallen are easily the best character class books I have seen put out for an OGL/SRD derived game system. To me, they represent the perfect format. Mongoose should be proud. I know I am to own them.
