Now, you get, what, 3 powers that no one else does? For the price of some plastic?
Now, you have created "elite" D&D players who splurge on minis in order to collect the powers (I'd be surprised if people played 3 different characters in a given year).
That would only work if there were 8 rares, 8 uncommons, 8 visible, and 16 commons in the set; since that would make all the pieces equally rare there's no chance of that. The actual cost will depend on the number of rares in the set.To complete a set
Cost for all 18 PC minis: $66
Cost for all 40 Monster minis (assuming no repeats): $120
Total cost to complete a set (again assuming no repeats): $186
This hobby has come a long way from just a couple of paperbacks, some dice, and a few sheets of graph paper, hasn't it?
This is awesome news for those who collect minis and cards. For those of us who don't, it is just another product with "D&D" stamped on it. I'm not judging, just observing.
In a completely different form, sure. That seems to be a bad example.Test the next edition with the current one has worked so far, so why abandon it? 3.5 PHB2 tested aggro mechanics and so it became part of 4E.
I guess if you take an unusual combination of race & class for your character you will have to wait.
There was a really good series of articles on the WoTC Star Wars page on how to modifiy the prepainted plastic minis.
Unfortunately, it's not like DDM died a natural death after a long, happy life. DDM was trapped in the rubble when 3.5 was demolished, and has been slowly suffocating since. Right now it's gasping its last breaths of air.This is probably a sign that the ddm game is dying out.
