Unearthed Arcana revisited

I've been thinking about my rather scathing review of Unearthed Arcana recently, especially in light of writing up the "Dragons of the Cerulean Ocean" setting (my latest, fad-of-the-moment, campaign setting). I'm writing up a fairly large number of house rules for the campaign, and I've concluded that I was rather unfair to Unearthed Arcana during the review.

Basically, in the new setting, I'm using large swathes of Unearthed Arcana, either whole-cloth or in a modified form. For instance, Action Points are there, as is Reputation, Magic Rating and Defense Bonus. Paragon classes are in place for two of the races (although these weren't new in UA, and have been modified here), Weapon Groups, and so on, and so on.

So, I guess it's rather more useful that I first stated.
