A truly twisted book including new ability mechanics to reflect the corruption of those who delve deeper into its pages. The Book of Exalted Darkness is presented as a detailed campaign setting, crossing multiple boundaries to create the world of Askis, a world that you can really immerse yourself in. The book also contains new classes, skills, creatures, items, and hooks that can be applied to your own campaign without having to significantly tweak them.
Mike has clearly spent a lot of time on this book, I've only managed to play a few aspects so far, incorporating them into my home game, but the Diabolist class is a favourite, it's well balanced and provides its own interesting hooks beyond that of a Warlock's patron. All in all, a great addition to the ever growing list of third party materials for D&D 5e.
