[QUOTE="Grundle, post: 1004788, member: 1978"] Just let me state up front, yes I would like some cheese with the following whine...:o I understand that WotC is not operating a charity for indigent gamers. I for one - and I believe most people here - would have gladly put money down to buy what 3.5 was billed as, but that (apparently) is not what we're getting. This Revision was billed as three core books that have been throughly cleaned up, all erratta's fixed, the VERY FEW OBVIOUS 3.0 PROBLEMS cleaned up (Haste, Harm, Ranger, etc.), and new art incorporated. I love it. I'd buy it. What the hell happened to it?! :confused: I was pumped, but not any more. Guess I was just being a bit naive. What it appears we are getting is alot of maybe good, maybe bad, but certainly arbitrary changes for change's sake. Compatibility be damned. We're getting spell's renamed left and right, durations and areas changed, weapon-handedness :eek: , and a plethora of other unnecessary twiddling with unbroken stuff! Will I still buy it? Yeah, sure. Will my group use it? Don't know. Will the hobby be better or worse off because of it? I'm a pessimist, you decide. :( [/QUOTE]
