[QUOTE="CovertOps, post: 5287415, member: 65152"] I only want to disagree about the MM3 changes. The damage boosts were needed AND I love the new format. Neither of those really has anything to do with new class builds, magic missile errata and some of the other PLAYER side changes coming with Essentials. But my choices were worded to be either/or. If they weren't, my apologies. They were basically either my PHB1 is outdated and should be tossed OR it isn't. As long as it's 4.x it's compatible which is not true with 3.0/3.5 My guess as I posted above is that a lot of the errata will likely be changes to make things [i]forward[/i] compatible ie to make the old material play nice with the new. In any event if we aren't saying that the PHB is out the window you can call it zucchini for all I care. It's not a new "edition" or "revision" until we have to start getting rid of books (and their errata). We already have monthly downloads of CB and AT. WotC should figure out how to let us "buy" books and register those book purchases with our DDI account and download updated PDFs (or some other digital format) of the books with updates included. Even if you had to buy online to get this perk it would be OK. [/QUOTE]
