(/sarcasm)  Bloat, power-creep, and haphazard copy-paste jobs, with the occasional minor tweak applied in afterthought.  What mistakes were made with 3.0 were purely born of the adjustment to the then-new d20 System.  3.5 has no such excuse.  Of course, I blame management more than anything else, as I'm sure the designers would do fine without such hectic writing schedules and short deadlines.  The 3E designers are great, for the most part certainly, but.....(/mini-rant) *retreats back into his hermit hole* :\</blockquote>
