[QUOTE="mkill, post: 5150576, member: 55985"] Let's distinguish between three kinds of rules here: - basic combat rules - player options - monster stats The basic combat rules are the ones that everyone needs to know, things like what does dazed mean. There aren't that many, all in all that's the skill and combat chapter in the PHB. Except for the revised Stealth rules (where I never understood the necessity to revise them), there weren't that many changes anyway. As for the player options, that's mainly powers, feats and items. Now, only a small percentage of that will show up at your game table at any time. And most of the player options that were revised gained notoriety before they were updated anyway, like Veteran's Armor. Unless one of your PCs has it, it just doesn't matter. If you don't know the current updates to Warden powers, who cares if there is no Warden around? It's only relevant to people who study D&D at college and have to write tests about the stuff. As for the monsters, I print them out from DDI before the session anyway for easy reference, so I'm always updates. Now where's the problem? [/QUOTE]
