[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 7856384, member: 22779"] Let's not forget, it wasn't just PHB II. There was the PHB II and III DMG II, MM II and III, AND a Martial Power II as well. All in a span of what, 3 years? They were flooding the shelves with books and the titles weren't exactly clear were they? What is a DMG II? What is a Monster Manual III? Because, really, the sequel books aren't all equal. PHB I, II and III had all fairly similar content - class stuff. But, DMG II had largely completely different content from DMG I and you really needed DMG I to DM the game. But, you could quite easily play with a PHB II and a Monster Manual II. [USER=996]@Tony Vargas[/USER] is ignoring the context of the situation when Mearl's talked about the numbering being confusing. It wasn't JUST a PHB II. There were EIGHT books in the core line (PHB/DMG/MM) and which ones you needed to play was certainly not clear just by looking at the covers. [/QUOTE]
