[QUOTE="Scribble, post: 4328870, member: 23977"] Again, I'm assuming that the basic rules of the game will be in known locations. The PHB. If I'm looking up a basic rule, I know to look in the PHB. If I'm looking up a random power, then it gets tricky. Shrug. That's fine. However, the basic rules are the things everyone should always know for the most part. If I say make an attack roll, as the Dm I'm going to assume you know how to do that. I agree it would be nice to have a way to look up these elements too. They talked about an encounter builder, as the mirror to the character creator. I'm guessing (unless that was scrapped) that stuff will be in there. Rock on. It's your money spend it how you want to. :) I used 3e because it's a game that has a lot of little rule breaking rules in various different sources. I could have just as easily said GURPS, or RIFTS, or any number of ganmes that have powers and such located in more books then one. I'm not talking about just durring play. I'm talking about in general. Why not? Maybe I'm trying to decide how my charactr will advance? Or what my next character will be, or if Im the Dm what kinds of things I might put together for the chicken mage of elwick... All things that I need to think about what options are available. Depends on how you value your time? People constantly ask for indexes of things when they're found in multiple sources... How many Can we get an index of Dragon magazines were there in the past? That's all this thing is... An index with a bunch of added features (ability to search, to browse, to copy directly from it... plus if all you want is the index that's free...) I could just as easily take a boat to get to Europe, but it's worth more timewise to fly. if YOU personally don't think you will use it, GREAT! Don't buy it... But don't say it's a bad tool just because you personally find no use in it. I don't work on cars, but I can see how a torque wrench would be a good tool for someone that does. :) [/QUOTE]
