Only in small ways. But the ease factor of those little tweaks is worth it to me.Unfortunately, in addition to the above:- even MORE errors to be errata'd- big changes that are not tweaks and were not necessary- no more easy NPC tables... why?- the entire spell descriptions sectionThe $100 is, well, pretty cheap. But the above factors are ALSO a cost. They are a cost on my time to fix, a cost on my time to create NPCs, and a nullification of the 3 years of included errata (and even there, they failed to include all of the original errata).Other costs include:- reduced electronic support for the meantime- balance is not significantly improved; the broken stuff is just different now, and the GMs have to learn where they are all over againStill, I'm okay with it. I just wish they'd done a good job with it, instead of a half-assed job. And I wish they'd had Monte on board to cut down on some of the excesses of the author's house rules.-seasong</blockquote>
