Complete Arcane

[Felon]

I feel that it will be called Complete Expert, for reasons already mentioned. I suspect that it will cover:

More equipment
More +2/+2 feats
A list of actual choices for the various craft, profession, and perform skills
That list of musical instruments from Song and Silence
Those bard spells from Song and Silence
Expanded rules on crafting items and maybe weapon repair
More alchemical goodies
Traps and poisons
Expanded information on the various knowledge skills (right now, you can’t know anything about a collossal scorpion unless you make a knowledge (nature) roll at around DC 40 ie10 plus hit dice)
Better information on what you can do with diplomacy, bluff and intimidate

That looks to be about what I'd figured. Maybe some specialized articles that expand the basic usage of certain skills (e.g. rules for lariats via the Rope Use skill). I don't know how marketable most of that stuff is for PC's though.

In the end, the book may wind up being called The Complete Waste: a sourcebook for those with too much and money on their hands.

I really doubt we'll see more +2/+2 feats - the reason we saw so many in the PHB was to stop the proliferation of them. Every skill has its +2/+2 now, so that's covered.

Cheers!
