[QUOTE="MrMyth, post: 5235693, member: 61155"] Except that no options are going away. All the previous material remains viable, and playable alongside the new material. Everything from the original books will remain pretty much the same - the one exception mentioned is the Wizard, and I don't think it will be as major as you fear. Actually, I am almost positive you might be misreading the situation - regardless of what changes may be made, if they affect the PHB Wizard, they will at the very least be publicly available as errata, and not require a DDI subscription to view them. They may be as simple as "All Wizard Encounter Powers now deal half damage on a miss." I don't expect it, but it could be a single sentence - or maybe they will list a bunch of powers, all of which work that way. Either way, what the powers already do won't change, and they aren't going to make a change like that and have it require someone purchase Essentials or a DDI subscription. Either the PHB Wizard won't be affected, or any changes will be publicly posted on their site. And in that event, I suspect it will be a single general change that you apply to all (or a bunch) of their encounter powers, rather than them performing a serious fundamental rewrite of dozens of powers.
