[QUOTE="Mokona, post: 3723589, member: 24891"] It may sound unabashedly Capitalist :p of me but game designers need to feed their family just as much as you or I. You already know that [b]Wizards of the Coast[/b] cannot and will not force :o you to add any rule (to your home game) which you don’t like. Take a basic concept from Economics: [b]Wizards[/b] wants you to buy another [b]D&D[/b] book :eek: but you’re free to spend your money elsewhere :confused:. Guess what? They hope to get your money by giving you a book that you really like! ;) If you like their book :\ you’ll buy it and if you buy their books they’ll get some money! :D [i]Player's Handbook 2[/i] will do a better job of giving greater happiness to more gamers than the alternative of spreading that same content out over lots of books.
