| | |
| * Good book, but not very suited for Mythic Europe. With a little work, you could make up a great Mythic North America with it, though.
| |
| * Improved in [[Dragon and the Bear]].
| |
| * Pretty out of place in ME.
| |
| * Made more sense than Werewolf or Mage - unfortunately, ArM is not the World of Darkness.
| |
| * Buy [[Hedge Magic]] instead.
| |
| * Completely unnecessary and so out of paradigm that it stings like a mosquito bite right between your shoulder blades.
| |
| * Pretty good guide to shamans, but smacks of American Indian shamanism.
| |
| * Its poor fit with ME is a pity for an otherwise interesting book.
| |
| * White Wolf's Treatment of shamanism. Interesting.
| |
| * Beautiful, but limited use.
| |
| * ...being non-American, I am not displeased with this source book's Amerind flavor (this brings 'exotism' into play).
| |
| * Useful to build an [[Order of Odin]] and using Vikings in a saga.
| |
| * One of the better treatments of shamanism in any rpg, but doesn't fit really well into Ars Magica, nor does it seem like it would be fun to use in a game.
