[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 2747249, member: 2067"] It has lots of potential to be there. They might take a sleeper on the MMIV, but the new statblock format and other, non-monster-stat information leads me to believe they'll follow through with a solid monster book. I could be underwhelmed, but recent threads have established that it's not hard to underwhelm me. ;) Specifically, the PHBII has a lot of potential. The DMGII was quite a bold choice for a new format, and though it came off as a random collection of assorted notes, it is virgin territory for WotC. The PHBII will be the same -- something they haven't really done before. Fiendish Codex I could go either way, depending on how much of the book is cultivating a true feel for the different demons of the Abyss and how much is just updating 3.0 demon stats and reprinting Demon Lords. Secrets of Xen'drik is intriguing, too. I'm eager for an Eberron book that isn't at least 50% about warforged, and I think that might do the trick. :) Tome of Battle could be VERY good. Way too early to tell, but it's easily the one I'm looking forward to seeing the most. I don't see anything quite as dull as Spell Compendium on the list, at least at first grok. So it looks like they had already taken my advice by the time I've given it. And the spell compendium will pass quickly into wordless obscurity and a good time will be had by all. [/QUOTE]
