With the math in MM1 being so far off the mark, I'd figure the rehashing was a good thing. It wasn't a MM4, it was a greatest hits for new players; which is exactly what MM1 should be in any edition. But yeah, the little I did read of Essentials was not pleasant due to the small book and single-column text. A normal sized hardback, double column, would have worked better. SOMETHING needed more verbage. It wasn't good fluff, but I think removing the the one-sentence and replacing it with a short bit of fluff was a good improvement. The fluff on some powers were more cute than useful, and felt like M:TG flavortext; fun to read but useless for understanding the ability being used. Don't EVEN get me started on the lack of fluff in the Monster's Manuals though. <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/rant.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":rant:" title="Rant    :rant:" data-shortname=":rant:" />God's yes. A Real Player's book (correct size, double column and having both HoFK and HoFL in it), a DM Kit (DMG, module, screen) and the Monster Vault (Monster Manual and Tokens) would have been optimal.
