[QUOTE="Haltherrion, post: 5328731, member: 18253"] Somewhat off topic but related to your basic concept (which I take to be "how much of the WOTC product are you buying"), I'm not planning on any further purchase of 4E core books, let alone setting books. On setting, I personally like creating settings so no need to buy setting stuff. But on the rest of the rule material for 4E, I've noticed: [LIST] [*]The "focus books" like Draconomicon and Open Grave are much less interesting now. In 3.5, it was nice to get the extra prestige classes and feats. 4E doesn't have prestige classes and any other niggling stuff of interest (feats and monsters mostly) are available in the DDI tools. [*]PHB/PHB2 provides all the classes my group needs. So far neither my players or I have purchased PHB3 and we may never do so. The hybrid class part seems interesting but monk-oids and psionic-oids aren't are thing. [/LIST]Personally, I'd like WOTC to find D&D financially rewarding and worry about them making additional books unnecessary for players like me. In years past when money was easier to come by, I might have bought more books just for fun, even a few setting books to pilfer ideas from. But these days, the cost/benefit is such that I'm not inclined to purchase more books and in all previous settings I've purchased a lot of books. Speaking of which, I need to unload my 3.5E books at some point :p [/QUOTE]
