This book makes playing a Martial class extremely fun and engaging. You are no longer the typical meme'd fighter that just walks forward and swing. Oh no! You now have maneuvers and special attacks that can recharge *during* the fight. Become a better monk than the PHB monk and/or an actual skilled warrior that can impact fights while using fun & cool abilities on the baddies each round.
My absolute favorite book in all of D&D 3.5ed for martial characters!
