[QUOTE="Prophet2b, post: 3682361, member: 36476"] Just to add my two cents to this of what I think Wizards actually [b]will[/b] (and won't) include: First of all, I don't think this is quite what everyone is thinking. It's not going to be the "one book you can bring to the table and use" - the description says it's a [i]compendium[/i] of all rule supplements and errata. Think [i]Spell Compendium[/i] and [i]Magic Item Compendium[/i]. I surely hope they don't include monsters, spells, and equipment in this. The Spell Compendium and PHB covers spells pretty well. Every monster manual is (in essence) a "Monster Compendium" - and equipment is covered fairly well already, without being [i]too[/i] scattered around, especially with the new [i]Magic Item Compendium[/i]. I think this will probably be a compilation of all rules and rule supplements they've ever included in all of their books. For example: Skills - there are skill uses in [i]tons[/i] of books aside from just the PHB, but no one knows them (or rarely uses them) because who wants to go look all of that up? Well, now here will be a quick and easy reference to all of the uses of every skill. Combat will probably be similar, as well as any other [i]rules[/i]. Those are all simply core game rules. I even kind of doubt classes will be in there, though I would see them before monsters and spells and items. But I doubt it. This won't be a compact rule guide, though. It will be a rule [i]compendium[/i]. All current rules in one place. I know, I know... some of the discussion is on what people would like to [i]see[/i] in this... :) But this is what I'm figuring it will actually be. [/QUOTE]
