This is almost a must have if you are playing Symbaroum, I would not let the new races into my games for the players, but the Boons and Burdens is an idea I like and many of the new abilities are a good addition. There also some new Powers and Rituals that I think could fit well into many games.

I have not used the much from the Alternative Rules, a couple of the Maneuvers mostly, and that is another thing I like. You don't have to go all in on the Alternative Rules, you can pick what you and your group want and skip the rest.

If you enjoy Symbaroum but would be willing to add some more things into your game, this is probably a book for you.

I am not well versed in these modern ways where you either rate something 5-stars or 1-star, this is probably as good as you can make a supplement book and get a solid 4 from me.

A great add on to Symbaroum core rulebook. Adds lots of additional content around characeter races, classes, abilities and expands the equipment list. The artwork is fanstastic, matching that in the core rulebook.

However, the layour of the book isn't great with important information hidden on sidebars or unexpected places. I also feel that the text is sometimes secondary to the artwork.
