[QUOTE="CharlesRyan, post: 4327458, member: 5265"] As a player, I think what I've seen so far is great. (Yes, I agree it could be better, with cross-linking and whatnot.) Given that it will include [I]everything[/I], even the powers and feats and classes that come from books I might not own (or Dragon articles I might not be bothered to flip through), it seems like it will be well worth the price of DDI for this feature alone. Already the ability to sort feats will simplify feat selection; filtering for your race/class/deity/tier will make that rather tedious aspect of character management [I]much[/I] easier. As a DM, I'm already missing the d20srd.org's monster stat blocks. Maybe we'll see something along those lines in the future, but it's not part of what's been announced. And just to be pedantic: A year's worth of DDI will actually cost $119, assuming you don't buy month-to-month. (Granted, that's still the cost of 4 supplements. . . .) But remember, the Compendium will contain the character crunch from [I]every[/I] supplement put out over the course of that year, plus everything from Dragon mag! Maybe you don't want to spend $119 a year on D&D--fair enough--but if you do, it's hard to imagine that this isn't a reasonable way to spend that money! [/QUOTE]
