That's close to what I mean. Basically it would be any of the ones without the ability to use magic of some kind like Bards, Clerics, Druids, or Wizards as even Holy Warriors got some Pyramid loving in Way of the Warrior. Clerics already have something close in Dungeon Fantasy 7, not that I'd say nay to having a Denizens focused on them. Druids have various templates from the Natural Magic Pyramid. And wizards? Well we've got Dungeon Styles and a whole book of magic for them to choose from.

But the poor thief doesn't have much of anything to its name.


That being said, now that I've had more than a quick skim, definitely upgrading my review to this being a great book and well worth the cost for the extra advantages and fluff bits.
