You could use that for the PHB.I would prefer a greater amount of subclasses in the PHB instead of having to buy 2 more books for subclasses (Xanathars...etc).You could have spell creation rules within the PHB as part of the Downtime Activities like in ToV.So PHB smaller spell selection but it includes more subclasses, downtime activities, increased equipment, skill section etc.The DMG need not focus on basics as that would be included in the Starter Set and Downtime Activities would be in the PHB and you wouldn't waste space with esoteric subclasses.I also agree super rare/weird magical items could be gutted. That's a lot of space now available in the DMG.Which allows for more variant/dials as well as epic play rules. These two sections should be fat as they have been ignored far too long.And increase consumable enchanted items.Then the 4th book would be a Tome of Magic - spells, weird/rare magic items, psionic systems, magic variants etc.</blockquote>
