Nope, not at all. I got the imperial edition for peanuts along with the main game and can safely say I wouldn't have paid £5 for the privilege never mind what they're actually asking for it. I do roll an Imperial, but that's only because it can with my £8 copy of the game along with the any race, any faction perk.
Glad i made the purchase, i will be the ONLY mNB imperial evar!
Probably fixed this for truth for ya

"I am a nightblade. Blending the disciplines of the stealthy agent and subtle wizard, I move unseen and undetected, foil locks and traps, and teleport to safety when threatened, or strike like a viper from ambush. The College of Illusion hides me and fuddles or pacifies my opponents. The College of Mysticism detects my object, reflects and dispels enemy spells, and makes good my escape. The key to a nightblade's success is avoidance, by spell or by stealth; with these skills, all things are possible."
