[QUOTE="Upper_Krust, post: 4187998, member: 326"] Hiya dante mate! :) I don't consider the addition of superfluous new AC modifiers a good idea let alone someone's best idea. The only person potentially making millions off 3.5 is Monte Cook, and thats because he outsells everyone else by about 100:1. In fact I would doubt even he gets a massive percentage of his own profits considering he doesn't do his own art, layout and so forth. So he probably made less than $100,000 from his 20,000+ copy selling Book of Experimental Might. Krusty is seriously considering a 4E jump. When I was in London, obviously I did as much gaming as possible, and to be honest I am becoming more and more disenchanted with 3rd Edition. Its unnecessarily complicated at low levels and nightmarishly complex at epic levels (even after I tried to dumb down as much as possible). As a designer the monsters and npcs take too long to build. I'm sitting on about 300 monster ideas and 600 potential immortal npcs (with the immortals index) and there is simply no way to be able to do that with the 3rd Edition rules.
