This is a very good book, I believe that everyone who wants more realistic Combat Rules and new Strategies, Proficiency's and Tatics will enjoy a lot this book. Many things is incluided like the new Critical Hit's System and table's of critical Hit's Severity. Ignore The guy that gave 1 star to this book, he probaly never read it or even have played AD & D because if he had, he will not say a stupid thing like a Goblin with a dagger taking off a arm from a Human. So if you want good and realistic Combat to your campaign you should already had this book! GET IT!
a great book for those who like to think about their combat.

This book really takes in account for the chance that takes place in battle. It gives thought how you can battle and how you can run a game that is more realistic. I'm glad that Skip has communicated how he ran his D & D games in college.

This book is fabulous. If you're tired of plain old roll a 1d20 and see if your character hits, then this is the book for you. It alows you to make special combat options, like trap, disarm, etc. and make critical hits on your opponent. Superb for either Dungeon Master OR Player. A must. No if ands or buts. You must own this book
Great Addition

This book has everything that I already have implemented in my campaigns. The critical hit system is a bit extensive but the unarmed combat rules are fantastic. They could expand a little on the martial arts but they left that to DMs to do. I thought the book was one of the best new AD & D books I have read.
