The HEROES OF HIGH FAVOR series has a solid premise and a tight focus: each book contains a toolkit of additional feats, skills, character concepts, and prestige classes to encourage the exploration of your race's favored class. The DWARVES book, for example, has a prestige class offering for fighter-barbarians (the battlerager), fighter-bards (the dwarven skald), fighter-clerics (the runepriest), and so on. Each book also contains several new feats designed specifically for each race/class combination. The DWARVES book not only serves up several new feats for fighters, there are mystical Runecrafting feats so that dwarves can explore their creative side.Of course, there is also a section detailing new skills and new uses for old skills. The DWARVES book, as you might suspect, contains a section to greatly expand traditional dwarven Craft skills-- armorsmithing, weaponsmithing, blacksmithing, and stonemasonry. Taking the concept of "masterwork" beyond a mere +1 bonus, this section allows dwarven PC’s to craft enhanced alloys, adding hardness, durability and flexibility, or to improve the mobility and balance of a suit of armor. In short, you’ll not only discover what it really takes to craft an adamantine sword or mithral plate, you’ll finally have the complete ruleset to do it!
