So no last Complete book for 3.5?

Given the 4E announcement and the final product listings for 3.5, it seems there won't be a final/fourth Complete book in the line for fighter types, in the vein of Complete Scoundrel, Mage, and Champion.

Any thoughts or speculation on what such a book might have had? Would anyone have wanted to see something like that?

My irony-sense is tingling.

I'm fine with it. Player's Handbook 2 had a lot of feats for martial characters, and the entire martial concept got a new angle with Book of Nine Swords. About the only thing I can imagine showing up in a new martial-characters book would have been per encounter or per day abilities that felt less magical than what Bo9S had.

Yes.

I suppose the Bo9S could be seen that way. But technically, that was the counterpart to the Tome of Magic. So maybe not.

I would have bought it, even after the announcement. It's really odd there was no second one.

I think that a Complete Warrior II (whatever is was called) would likely have built on the PHB II. I wouldn't have been surprised if it had built on Bo9S like Complete Mage built on the warlock.

I think if you strip out the (IMHO lame) classes, the Complete Warrior II was the PHB II.

(Heck, you could credibly keep the knight and have it keep that role... which is a credible thing to do, the knight being the least lame class in the book.)

Complete Commoner?

Or more broadly/seriously, Complete NPC.

I was so hoping they would keep the 'Complete' line going until they got around to publishing a book called 'Complete Bastard'. We need more stuff for the blackguards!

On a slightly more serious note, didn't Complete Champion contain quite a bit of stuff for the martial types?

How about the Complete Waste of Time and Money? I mean, seriously, WoTC ought to be at least smacked for false advertising. If the Complete Arcane had really been complete, there'd've been no need for a Complete Mage, for example.
