Then came the anouncement of 3.5 revisions and they decided to wait and revise it to 3.5. Then they relaized how long in work hours it would take to redo every monster's stats, check them, and then redo the layout (it is a huge book, longer than most monster books). Plus they heard there was going to be a bunch of monster books delayed to come out when 3.5 released, 3.5 MM, Dangerous Denizens of Tellene, Creature Collection Revised, etc. Having already spent a huge amount of their time and money on getting it to be finished for 3.0 they then decided to not revise it and release it when there was a flood of 3.5 books (not just monster books) coming out the day the 3.5 srd was released and it was legal to put out 3.5 material using the advance 3.5 rules the d20 publishers were given by WotC. So unfortunately bad timing all around for the PFB.</blockquote>
