Compendiums (Compendia?) - would you buy them?

[Erekose]

Not really as structured as a poll as I'd like to hear a bit more information about why. The Spell Compendium got me thinking about other compendium books that WotC could potentially produce at relatively little effort - but would people be prepared to buy them?

Typical examples might be - Class Compendium, Prestige Class Compendium, Feat Compendium, etc.

I know other non-WotC companies have produced similar things but how would people react to updated/corrected versions of what's already been produced but in one place?

I would love to see a feat compendium. Love love love.

I would love to see a feat compendium. Love love love.

Seconded.

And a magic item compendium.

Beyond that, it would vary depending on what the subject of said compendium was.

I'd rather hold on and wait for the compendiums to be compiled into a single Compendium Compendium later on.

With as much space as the newer PrCs take, I think a PrC compendium would be kind of a bad idea cause it wouldn't be able to fit nearly as many PrCs that exist.

I would like to see a book on base classes, but not really a compendium because I'd rather they add more stuff. Like having each base class in it, perhaps a few magical items tailored specifically for that as well as feats and variant options like in UA or PHB II. Also a few feats for different combinations would also be neat. Like the few in Complete Adventurer, but on a larger scale.

Feats would definitely be cool and I'd buy that. Maybe Magic Items, I'm not sure, but if they made it I'd likely buy it anyway, but then again, there are way too many magic items to fit into a single book, unless it was pretty thick or came in a set like in 2e.

There are at least a couple of Compendiums that I would buy in a heartbeat: Feats and Magic Items. I would be interested in a PrC compendium, but I would want to see what format they were presented in first.

There is one problem I see with both the Magic Item and PrC collections though. Spells from outside the PHB. Will they just give athe sourse of the spell? Have an appendix in the back? I'd buy the Migic Item Compendium (or Expanded Arms and Equipment Guide) the instant I can get my hands on it. I hope they figure out a solution to the spell problem quickly.

I'd buy a Feat Compendium. Maybe a magic item compendium. That's probably it.

Love to have feat, magic items, monsters, PrCs, core class compendiums.

Having all the official material of one subject in one source would be great.

 

[Felix]

A PrC compendium would be interesting... as long as they don't have, "We just printed it, so we'll print it again!" examples of characters with each one.

Both a Feats and Magic Items compendiums would be great.
Anything that puts a lot of info in one organized place and makes DMing easier is a sure buy to me.
