I am so glad I got this, it is a pleasure on many levels. Why, you may ask, has someone who hasn't GMed anything involving a d20 in over two years said this? Firstly I'm currently doing the plot design for a GURPS Banestorm campaign and Brynhild Eirensdottir , being a solid, well thought out, interesting combination of fantasy elements nicely makes a link I was wanting to form between Blackwoods and the Emperor of Megalos. The fact that I am going to have to do some re-statting is neither here nor there, as an NPC she is a good strong story element.
Secondly, the writing and editing. The PDF is not simply a padded stat block. Right from the first word the writing is clear and has no fat. All the text works to the end of delivering you this well constructed creature.
Thirdly, the design. I'm no design geek, but with low cost PDFs one does appreciate someone who knows the benefit of using clear fonts consistently. The front page character illustration is line art on a white panel. Great I can easily extract and manipulate it to make a paper figure as well as use it as an illustration for my players.
Lastly, of course I'm not reviewing this for the balance or mechanics of its stats, but the powers all make good sense for the character.
As a reviewer it is pure pleasure to come across something which embodies a good idea that has clarity in writing and layout. Full marks to Rite Publishing for this product as source material.
Techie TIP: If you're a Linux user and you should have worked out that the best way to print RPG PDFs is to feed them to CUPS from the command line using the lpr or lp commands. Know that this is one where you are much better off doing that.
