A great, flavoursome race with beautiful artwork. Although I haven't yet had a chance to get the Brock to the table, reading through this race for the first time left me with a huge smile on my face. The race and lore surrounding it is fantastic - I'd happily read books featuring a Brock protagonist - and the game mechanics are just icing on the cake. The section of Brock Artefacts contains some genuinely great stuff (Moleskin Notebook, I'm looking at you).
The only concern I have - and bear in mind, I haven't had a chance to playtest this yet - is the Born To Fight ability. I'm rarely a fan of abilities that add a static bonus to attacks, and I'm also not sure about it affecting both melee and ranged weapons. That said, it doesn't seem like it would present a balance issue at all, and more importantly the rest of the race looks like a whole lot of fun to play (which trumps any balance issues anyway).
I 'd definitely recommend buying this. For $0.99 you can't go wrong, even if it's just to look at the fantastic art.
