[QUOTE="Crothian, post: 5106638, member: 232"] I know I'm not the first and since I don't see the thread on it in the first few pages I guess it is possible that we have gotten everything we want out of the book. That's pretty impressive since the street date isn't till another 2 weeks. I also got a Harrow Halls Dungeon Tiles though I'm not sure when that comes out. The most interesting thing about the book and one I hadn't seen mentioned (though I easily could have missed it) is that for the first time I can recall psionics are actually given a good reason to be in the world of D&D. Before it always seemed like an add on that some people had. There was never any explanation on where the power came from. Some groups used it others did not. Some campaign settings tried to feature it but they never to my satisfaction really explained why it was there. It always seemed that the creators of some settings like psionics so they used them. I know many gamers these days concentrate on the races, classes, and feats and don't seem to care about world building aspects (and to be fair this is not a new mentality I've seen if from gamers for 30 years) but in opening the book and reading the first few pages it was like seeing something that was missing from the game for a long time that I never realized was not there. How are people liking the PHB3? I imagine most questions on it have been answered since other people do that better then I, but ask away if you have something. :D [/QUOTE]
