So I have a conundrum. I see there's a LOTR with six new classes and presumably $40+ worth of material to build characters with, but I'm a little concerned that the spells, abilities, feats and misc. Mechanics just won't work well outside of the setting within the book. Has anyone looked through the product and confirmed whether or not the material is dependent on the LOTR setting for the campaign, or of a significant portion of it can mechanically work outside of it?
Trying to meld 2014 and 2024 material can be difficult as it is, I'm concerned that incorporating this book will be unwieldy if I'm not interested in specifically running a LOTR campaign.
I haven't deep-dived it, but as I understand it the LOTR stuff is balanced pretty differently from the 5e baseline, so it's probably not worth buying as a resource to integrate with typical 5e campaigns.
