Like I said above, that's wonderful for both WotC, Inc. and for consumers.For WotC, it's more $, more reliably. Instead of spending A, B, C, X, Y, and Z each year to develop and publish six books of new feats, classes, and rules, they can spend only A, B, and C--and sell just as many total units, and likely a whole lot more. That's great!For consumers, it's more concise, better-balanced rules, presented in a better format (and without filler material to pad the page count). I'd much rather buy the new three core books every year than hunt and peck half-a-dozen splat books (each costing as much as a new core book). You can count on other players have the new Core books in a way that you simply can't count on other players having a particular splat book. Heck, I know some players that don't know of the existence of divine and reserve feats, or immediate actions. Those are terrific additions to the game, and improve the fundamentals of D&D. Putting that kind of stuff in annual core books is just better for the game.I guess I don't see what the problem is. I mean, c'mon: $25/year (for players) or $75/year (for DMs) to support a fun hobby is cheap, cheap, cheap. -z</blockquote>
