[QUOTE="wedgeski, post: 3814236, member: 16212"] I've never found "Why should I pay for something that should have been in there from the start?!" a very compelling criticism about anything, really, mostly because many people's idea of "something that should have been in there from the start" includes anything they want and find they now have to pay for. Legitimate gripes are, IME, few and far between. Wizards would have to miss out some pretty fundamental monsters to call the 4e MM1 "crippled". In this case, one man's "iconic" is another man's "never used it". For me, frost giants fall into that category. Secondly, if it's not there, make it up. It's not like we won't have the rules or the wherewithall to do it. It's not a car that you buy and find doesn't come with seats. Thirdly, this kind of criticism seems mightily unreasonable when levelled at a company that is going to be giving away most of D&D's crunch in the SRD (I assume). Alternatively, you could look on the bright side. If Wizards label something 'core', there really is no excuse whatsoever for not adding it to the SRD. As in everything, only time will tell.
