@Ktulu: Perhaps that’s their reason, but since I also don’t subscribe to Insider (and even if I did, I typically don’t game with a computer at the table), the missing index remains troublesome for me. Power, item, and monster cards do solve most of those issues, though; it’s only really troublesome when I need to look up something on the fly for some reason. Which is rare, but just common enough that I wish it were addressed.

I’d gladly trade that page of backgrounds for one. Or, hey, how about that ad for Insider?

I too liked the review– well done and informative.

I think the reason they don’t include indexes is the Compendim / Character builder. Not that it’s entirely a good excuse, it is somewhat superfluous when you can just log in and do a cursory search for the item/power you’re looking for.

All in all, very good review, though. I picked this up last night and was thoroughly impressed. I was originally going to pass on it (since I DM most of the time), but I was impressed with the familiar section and felt it was too good to ignore.
