[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 7759832, member: 22779"] Obviously not. After all, there are already HUNDREDS of publications with new mechanical subsystems available right now. Oh, right, you said "official". Sigh. I still am absolutely baffled that anyone who wants mechanical options claiming that they aren't being catered to. Why do those rules absolutely must come from WotC and no other source? What is it about WotC that makes them the magic rules monkeys? If you want greater complexity in your game, there are dozens, if not hundreds of products specifically designed to tickle your fancy. YOU ALREADY HAVE WHAT YOU WANT. The reason you will never get an official WotC one is because there's no way to produce a book like this, which will increase options and increase character power, and still have them play well with other products like the AP's. It cannot be done. So, an "Advanced PHB" is a non-starter for WotC. If they produce it, then they have to use it going forward when designing AP's, or, at the very least, take them into account. WotC does not do one and done products anymore. They just don't. Every product builds on and is referenced by other products. If you want something like an Advanced Player's Guide for 5e, you will only find it at the DM's Guild. It's just not happening otherwise. [/QUOTE]
