Most highschoolers aren't going to drop $34.95 on the latest beautiful WotC hardcover. They might drop money into core rulebooks, but I guarantee you that future cash would be directly diverted to the D&D Minis line, if at all.Therefore, instead of selling a $35-40 Complete Warrior, why not price some minibooks at 10-15 and gear them specifically towards player wants? A Paladin player might not buy Complete Divine -and- Complete Warrior at $70 just to get a few new options for their character, but they would buy a small softcover "Uber Paladins" for $10-15. And it's a lot less attractive to pilfer a $12.95 book over the internet -- especially if the PDF version of that same book was availablef for $5. On the monster side of things, I'm not sure I'd mind some smaller books -- instead of Monster Manual IV, we could have Savage Humanoids, featuring orcs, gnolls, giants of varying types and classes and Spawn of Tiamat, draconic-themed monsters, unique dragons, and Tiamat herself. Each book release would also coincide with the latest minis set, so you could buy all the monsters in the book in a collectible plastic format (or not, if you're shemmie)On the rules side of things, I'd like to point out just one thing -- if you take a look at 1E/2E stats and a DDM card, guess which side looks more like the old stats? It isn't the roleplaying side, that's for sure. Some streamlining of the class/monster rules could work out well for everyone, even those who don't use minis.</blockquote>
