I'm just saying it's better for the whole flavor-dealie.Oh!  And the new sundering rules -- breaking magical swords -- changed a last fight in a different campaign in a large way, and I think everyone involved found the battle more entertaining because of it.It's just those little gameplay changes -- produce flame becoming effective, sunder becoming effective, tower shields becoming interesting, animal companions getting a boost, small monks getting a boost, spells getting tightened up generally... I like it, and it's made me enjoy the game more.Yeah -- the price of admission is high -- but I'm the only gamer I know who bought the books.  I'm not even dm'ing right now -- my friends who DM are using the SRD, and Olgar's compiled change list.  So, it's even free for them.  Yep! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
