[QUOTE="Minigiant, post: 9227460, member: 63508"] People complained about waiting for 3rd level for subclasses. +++++ The crux is what an individual may like is not enough to sell the #1 TTRPG and a 500M+ TTRPG. Pre-5eD&D was too narrow in scope for player characters and monsters. 2 of those editions didn't even have feats and one didn't have skills. 3e didn't let a warrior move and make all their attacks and a broken magic system. 4e needed 3 PHBs 2MMs, 2 DMGs and 3+ Power books just to catch up. TSR or WOTC had to bloat 1e, 2e, 3e, and 4e because financially those editions were just too narrow to not get even. If you want to see how incremental looks at 4e: [LIST=1] [*]Player's Handbook [*]Player's Handbook 2 [*]Player's Handbook 3 [*]Dungeon Master's Guide [*]Dungeon Master's Guide 2 [*]Monster Manual [*]Monster Manual 2 [*]Adventurer's Vault [*]Arcane Power [*]Divine Power [*]Martial Power [*]Primal Power [*]Psioinic Power [/LIST] 4e needed all those books to catch up to 3e. And I'm not even counting the setting books. Or the 2 Power books that would have been published. Or the theme books. And that's just getting to 2014 desires. 5e is close to being in a state where it could be incremental. But It's not there. Some stuff in the PHB, DMG,and MM were off and will remain off unless you are.willing to gut some much that you are practically creating a new edition. The fanbase [B]doesn't want that[/B] as they don't want to lose their old books' function. 6e could be incremental. But it has to be designed near perfect and with holes to add new stuff. Especially if its al digital. [/QUOTE]
