5 / 10DrFaustThe "schools" of spells in this second volume are more narrowly-focused in application and special effects, and thus of less general utility than those found in the original Fantasy Hero Grimoire. And, perhaps more importantly, they're all kinda dull and mechanically flimsy. Why does someone using song magic make an attack roll based on their DEX characteristic? Just what constitutes a True Name and how do you go about discovering one? Nice ideas, but they need more work, not just system write-ups.

Rating User Summary
4 + 3arcadyFantasy Hero Grimoire II. Great ideas for fantasy spells, but built a little powerful for Heroic level gaming.
3 + 4ghost-angelFantasy Hero Grimoire II. Another book of pre-built magic spells for Fantasy Hero, generic enough for any Hero Game, but built with an eye towards a Turakian Age Campaign.

Ratings Explanation

The following components make up a rating:

Ratings. The ratings that users enter into this index are each averaged into the final rating with a weight of between 0 and 4, with weight based on trust algorithms.

Reviews. Each review is averaged into the final rating with a weight of 8. Sometimes reviews can skew high, but they also display fan interest (or disdain) in a product.

Content. The average rating of each content--before its own bayesian weight is inserted--is averaged into the final rating. The weight of a content is equal to its own weight divided by the number of contents, and divided again if it only appears in a fraction of editions.

Bayesian Weight. A rating of 5.00 is inserted into the final rating with a weight of 35. This is an arbitrary weighting of the average rating that keeps things toward the center until they're better rated.
