[QUOTE="Anguish, post: 5523885, member: 27032"] Part of it is space. Authors have been regularly turning in submissions that were over in terms of word-count. Additionally there have been submissions that editorial staff have felt could use clarification or expansion. The elimination of the pre-gens buys two extra pages within the adventure paths that can be used flexibly. The rest is IronWolf says. Really, if you think about it I think it makes sense. The average AP brings you from 1st to 15th level. To have a total of six of those levels statted out for you is of limited utility, and that only to the subset of gamers that wouldn't make their own characters. How many people are going to run a 1st-15th AP with pre-gens? How many of those are going to sync back up at the individual books? I mean, what... you manually level your pre-gens at 2nd and 3rd but when you start the next book and find a 4th level pre-gen you change whatever choices you made to match up? How about deaths? Any death in the AP makes one of the pre-gens pointless forever after. Bottom line is that while some people enjoyed reading them, the vocal majority see those pages as better spent otherwise.
