No doubt that many of the new rules aid combat or can be ignored, but most of my group are of the opinion that 3.x was designed to sell minatures because that's where the money is these days. The miniatures combat game with randomly boxed minis sort of verifies this. The minis are good. Much better quality than some other similar games, but the comon questions all have to deal with how they'll actually help any sort of RPG. Say I need an umberhulk for tonights adventure, I can't just run out and buy one. For that matter they really don't fit at all with generic D&D. How many times has anybody here actually run into a feindish dire weasel? I have one freind that collects the minis, and he seems to get one in each box. Most of the minis seem to be strange thigns that will never end up getting used at all. I'm waiting for stores and dealers at comic shows to stat carrying individual minis so I can pick and choose (like they do Hero Clix) but so far, no luck.</p></blockquote><p></p>
