Not all of the people all of the time. If the majority use miniatures then its easier for them to bring that into the game. They should still make it so it can be done without it which they do. Yes they want us to buy their miniatures so they can make more money. I'd hate to see that company fall. I don't agree with their marketing strategy but the are out to make money and you'd be surprised how much money they DON"T get from selling their books even at 30 bucks a pop. Printing color hurts.No. Not even remotely close. Definitely not close enough to be the way 3.0 was used. A medium greatswords handle would be MUCH longer than that of a large longsword. Plus the sharpness, weight, and most importantly BALANCE would not work. This may have added "complications" but it now fits with the fantasy world. Did you ever worry about a piercing weapon used by someone small as a longsword. That piercing weapon is now suddenly slashing? I don't think so. The blades sharpness is intended to pierce and its edge isn't as sharp and would dull easier. This takes that into account.YES. The spells were taking care of magic item slots like gloves of dex by lasting all day. Perhaps makign 1min/level is too far but it was something that was overly used. Not in your game so why do you care? They can still use it just not for hours at a time. Your mage doesn't NEED all day dex/con/int/str boosts up or one or two of what they want. They still have them for combat uses so endurance is still there. I dislike a lot of the things but I feel the game is a lot more balanced. A lot of people want to house rule without even trying the game as it is for several months to see how it works. You can house rule all you want but give it a chance because its not their fault you refuse to even try it the way they sold it. If you still don't like it then house rule it and thats life. Again they have to please some of the people some of the time and what you don't like others do so they have to go off what they feel is the best for their books. Be happy they added a lot of content and organization to the books that helps a lot. They are doing this for the cash and thats sad, but they are a business. At least the took what a lot of people complained about and tried to address it. They aren't perfect either. Please remember tons of people are arguing over different things but those people who dislike it are usually a small ammount to the total who don't voice their opinions or who accept it.</blockquote>
