[QUOTE="UndeadScottsman, post: 3722667, member: 12066"] I think they're using "core" as in "center." The first PHB is going to have the core rules for Arcane, Divine and Martial characters; all future material on those subjects is going to branch out from that. Likewise with the PHB2, it'll supposedly have the core rules for the psionics, and any future psionic material is going to branch out from that book. They can probably fit in quite a bit, actually, if the second series doesn't rehash all the rules on combat and gameplay and skills. The first PHB will already will have rules on half a dozen races, at least 8 core classes, and three different sets of powers (including spells and feats). No reason they can do that for each PHB, especially if they, like I said, don't rehash the base ruleset. Also, keep in mind, the PHB 2 isn't going to be a bunch of complete books mashed together, it's going to be like taking the best parts of the Expanded Psionics Handbook, Magic of Incarnum and like 1/3rd of Tome of Magic. That's just silly; they can get more money by letting people keep subscribing and paying that monthly fee, while tempting them with previews of cool stuff in future books compared to going "Hey, no more online content unless you pay for the new books AND pay a subscription fee." which would just piss people off and then Wizard's won't be getting that monthly fee anymore, on top of the user having not bought the books for whatever reason. Remember, you don't need any of the online material to play D&D.. It's still a tabletop game, after all. :D [/QUOTE]
