[QUOTE="Aria Silverhands, post: 4223034, member: 66086"] This marketing decision by WotC really, really PISSES me off. They're purposely leaving out the druid, barbarian, monk, and sorcerer to force people to buy more books and it is another attempt by WotC marketing turds to redefine what Core means to players. Core, for the past ten years, has been defined by the majority as the PHB, the DMG, and the MM. Even the PHB (3.5) has on pg. 4, a definition of core that matches that perception. WotC fartknockers hate purist dm's who only run Core games, because it's not good for business. So leaving out key classes and iconic monsters (Frost Giant) for later releases is purely driven by greed. Honestly, that alone is almost enough to make me never buy 4th edition period, but I know for a fact that once released, there won't be any other game being run in my area. It'll all be 4th edition games. Even online, older edition games will die off and be harder to find... so it's pretty much upgrade or don't for me. [/QUOTE]
