[QUOTE="portermj, post: 4391029, member: 26990"] The way that things are presented in 4E definately pushes things into later books. A style that results in thirteen pages of the Fighter Class and three pages on Orcs is going to force some cuts for the page count. What is in the core books seems very complete, but also completely ignores things I expect in core books like Druids and Metallic dragons. I don't think it is a matter of the design team sitting in a bunker somewhere deciding that not putting gnomes in the PHB is key to selling the PHB II. I seems like their common response to not including something in the initial three is due to not being sure how to make them work in the new edition. Of course that just sets up an expectation that things like the Half-Orc, Brass Dragon, and Monk will be much, much better when we finally see them in 4E. Hopefully that won't result in some fan favorites/classics from being the RPG version of "Chinese Democracy". [/QUOTE]
