Re: Is this standalone?
yep, all you need is the Diet Hero book (basic). BUT, I can't recommend the core books enough. It would be better to buy the bundle though as you get a $10 discount. think about it, with Herosys, you get over 800 pages for approx $70. with other publishers, (Paizo, Fantasy Flight, and mongoose to name a few) you get around 3-500 pages for about $50. numbers don't lie, this is an opportunity to take the easy way out and be a hero.
