[QUOTE="Kinneus, post: 5141846, member: 48215"] I like the various Player Handbook's. I'm okay with the setting books having unique classes and races, too. I was okay with Martial Power, Arcane Power, Divine Power, etc. because it gave them a chance to beef up weak classes (the paladin and wizard, for instance). But I have to admit, things like Martial Power 2 makes me roll my eyes. Part of the reason I avoided 3.5e is because of the endless splatbooks, but now I feel like 4e is getting to that point already. There's sort of a tyranny of choices. Feats don't excite me, and there's already so many that I have no idea how I'd build a character without the Character Builder. I disregard things from Dragon Magazine as a general rule, simply because there are too many choices already. I like new races and classes, because I feel like they give people really interesting options, but I don't really care to see a bunch of new powers for old classes in new books. I'd prefer that they get it right the first time, and give us lots of balanced, flavorful choices in whatever book the class makes it debut. Basically, I'd be happier if D&D was limited to the Player's Handbooks, with the occasional new class or race being introduced in a setting book. Really, if we went with that, we'd only lose a few broken combos, marginal powers, and a few hundred feats. And I could live with those losses. [/QUOTE]
