[QUOTE="triqui, post: 5911071, member: 57948"] It's the official recount in the 4e database, yes. It includes stuff from Dragon, optional rules, and class/race variants Sure it is subjetive. But the notion does exist. Everybody *does* have a limit on how much they want to read. You might find ok to read the 9000+ powers in 4e, but maybe you won't be happy to read 90000+.
