[QUOTE="Erdrick Dragin, post: 5355187, member: 88106"] Feats were changed, a lot of the powers were changed. Sure, incorporated as errata over time, but there's so much errata scattered in all of 4E's material, they have to reprint them all. I believe the races changed. They all get another +2 bonus to some other ability, for one. Why? That clearly makes Essentials Races better to play with than Core. Now all the 4E Races need to be covered with the same benefit. The powers have changed significantly. Now ALL Wizard encounters have Miss effects? What about the Wizard powers outside Essentials and Core? Essentials Wizards sound like they have it better. And why is it only Wizards get this benefit? And what's this about no Daily powers? Didn't something with Implements get changed? Magic Items are now categorized...like Magic the Gathering cards...awesome...just one step closer to D&D being another WotC CCG and MMO...first the power cards now this. What has me really stumped is...why are they continuing to support Essentials after these "Big 10" products? Is it really necessary to support TWO separate lines? Also seems like they're converting 4E material to Essentials. That Assassin Essentials is a prime example. Oh I wish 5E would come already... [/QUOTE]
