Contained within the Sword & Sorcery Immortal Souls KS "AP has two issues: Duration (which is not an issue if you have the time) and No leveling up. If you play it as a standalone you will start at Rank 2, which will make your life miserable as you struggle to level up. If you found the base S&S difficult, entering AP with rank II heroes will disappoint you... and if you play AP with your Rank 4 IS heroes then you won't level up anymore as you cannot level up beyond Rank 4. If you don't mind these two issues then you can buy it and have fun. Otherwise, you can skip it safely. I had fun with AP with my 3-player group but was a bit bored with my 4-player group because the game's duration was greatly increased and it all started to feel pointless because we didn't have any feeling of progression. it felt like we had this multi-hour investment obstacle (AP quests) to surpass before reaching the quests where we could continue to level up our heroes." https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/2923107/article/40686202#40686202

Disappointed that this expansion doesn't really advance the characters at all, soulrank 4 is the highest level a hero can reach in the base game and this expansion. As a result, I bought it, looked at it, and traded it. Can't review it because I didn't play it.

Again, I would rate this higher, but the rulebook is as equally unorganized as the rulebook for the core game. When I am required to make my own PDF rulebook, and/or glossary, to decrease the huge amount of time spent flipping back and forth through the rulebook, it obligates me to give a lower rating. Aside from the rulebook, this is a fantastic game.
