[QUOTE="Windjammer, post: 5126551, member: 60075"] ?? WotC are doing this already. I proudly own the complete PH2 set of Power Cards, all 4 of Divine Power, and 2 sets each released for Arcane and Martial Power. What you mean I guess is that you're worried what might happen if WotC stopped their plan so as to [I]exclusively [/I]release new powers on cards (and not repeat them in print product). You're quite right that they are sorely tempted to go for a collectible format on such occasions, if Gamma World is any indication of which directions they are testing the market. @Rechan: except that my link was to the 4E "Rules Compendium". My point was that I'm hesitant to believe that a single product can serve double duty to both be a good way to ease new players into the game AND serve as a "handy table reference". Look at 3.5 PHB and Rules Compendium and you'll see the divergent constraints on the product fully at work (not that the former is very good at "easing in new players" ;) ). [/QUOTE]
