Is this worth buying?

Since I like the Bard class a lot but am rather unsatisfied with the current 3.5E rules, I thought that the Book of Eldtrich Might II might be worth a look. It has a very interesting variant Bard class that uses spellsongs instead of arane magic.

 

Has anyone read this book? Is it good or is it as crappy as the other d&d books?

 

Besides, it only costs 7 dollars, which isn't bad at all. The problem is that I don't know whether I should trust the website that provides this document. Is there any risk that I get my credit number somehow ripped off by them (I have never bought anything from the net before)?

If they got a "secure" page where you enter your credit card number, then you should be fine.

I would buy the hard cover that has BoEM 1, 2, and 3 in one book. You can get it off Amazon.com cheaply enough. Also if you are really dissatisfied with #.5e I would suggest getting the Arcana Evolved along with the Spell Treasury. Together they are very very very nice.

Actually, I am only interested in the variant Bard class. I wouldn't like to spend 30 dollars on a Book that I won't use. Besides, the part I am interested in only costs 7 bucks.

 

My main worry is that I might get disappointed with the quality of the new Bard class. Is it as good as people tend to say?
