This Bullet point is 4 pages long, 1 page front cover, 1 page editorial/SRD, leaving us with 2 pages of content, so let's check this out!

The feats herein all modify the fireball-spell like we've already had in some other BP-releases. The feats are:

-Environmental effects: If you cast fireball or other evocation (fire)-effects that affect an area rather than a target, you also create additional effects depending on the area on which the spell goes up, e.g. creating dousing steam clouds that damage creatures immune to fire by casting it in water or creating noxious gases.

-Cometstrike: This feat modifies fireball or similar spells into a comet-like streaking star, changing its area of effect into a line that ends with a smaller explosion. Iconic imagery and tactical option - neat.

-Fiery Wrath: An interesting feat that allows conjured fire elementals or similar creatures at your command to control the burst your fireball produces when caught inside, enabling you to e.g. exclude allies or innocent bystanders from the burst. Neat feat that rewards planning on the player's behalf.

-Implosion: Perhaps not the best name, seeing how there's already a spell called like that, the feat nevertheless is interesting: For an exchange of a bit of blasting capabilities, this feat enables you to modify your fireball to initiate drag maneuvers against those caught within its blast pulling them towards the center of the detonation.

-Shockwave: Essentially the opposite of Implosion, this one enables you to harness the power of your fireballs at the cost of damage to bull rush those caught in the blast.

Conclusion: Editing and formatting are top-notch, I didn't notice any glitches. The layout adheres to SGG'S 3-column standard and the pdf has no bookmarks, but needs none at this length. Fireball is one of the most iconic spells in PFRPG and has been one for more editions than I care to list, thus any modification of it has to be crafted rather carefully and indeed, as could be expected, the pdf delivers some rather neat options to add to this favorite among destructive spells. All of the feats herein are neat and provide some kind of new tactical option beyond what one would expect of simple metamagic. That being said, I still feel like Implosion and Shockwave are rather similar in their mechanics and that the former's name is rather unfortunate. Since all of the feats still can be considered winners and bring something new to the table, I'll nevertheless settle for a final verdict of 5 stars - though I would have loved even more effects for environmental effects or a different implementation, perhaps an own Genius Guide: Misfit Studios' Superior Fantasy Synergy had some (in my opinion) superior ideas there.

Endzeitgeist out.

Continuing what has got to be one of my favorite continuing lines of RPG support material, this Bullet Point brings us a handful of interesting twists for that age old classic, the Fireball spell. Giving us five feats designed to alter or enhance the effects of either the Fireball spell, or any other evocation of similar nature that your GM would be willing to apply these feats to, this Bullet Point goes a long way towards proving that the Fireball spell is still viable at the table.

Following the standard three column landscape format, the cover page has changed slightly in that the cover image is not quite as large, and this particular Bullet Point has four pages instead of the standard three, but otherwise the format is identical to the familiar look and feel fans of the Bullet Point series will expect to see. Editing as always is above the board and solid. Three pieces of art, two color one B&W, all stock but good pieces.

Up first is the Environmental Effects feat, detailing just what happens to the terrain and environment around the spell effect area, I mean honestly, you just set off a freaking fireball, has no one ever wondered what happens to the surrounding material caught in that fire? Broken down by sections such as Ice/Water (Steam steam the wonderful steam), Metal (super heated for additional rounds of heat damage), Wood/Plants (dazzling blaze of inferno light) or Dirt/Earth/Stone (vaporized earth does tend to release gasses ya know).

Cometstrike allows for a more aimed missile of fiery goodness, tightening the overall effect into a comet of fire that explodes with a smaller radius. Fiery Wrath takes selective targeting to a new place, in that you hand over control of your Fireball spell to a summoned Fire Elemental and actually pick your targets within the range of the spell's affected area, thereby allowing you to “skip” over allies and friends, leaving them unscathed. Implosion goes off as a normal Fireball, but blows itself out as it exhausts all available air instantly, thereby creating a vacuum effect that can pull targeted foes to the center of its blast radius.

Shockwave works as an opposite to Implosion, in that the feat allows your Fireball spell to push targets away from its center.

Another excellent addition to the Bullet Point series, and further proof as to why this series continues to grow. Well worth the price of admission, and an easy 5 star rating.
