(Also, not tomorrow - but in a few more years!)To me, 3.5E demonstrated that the designers were paying attention to what worked and what didn't work in 3E. They saw what worked in the classbooks, and what didn't work. They noticed how decisions in the core rules started to fall apart when new options were added to the mix. They saw that certain rules could be confusing.So they fixed things.Now, not all of the fixes worked, but they certainly tried. In 3E, adding to spell DCs was incredibly easy. Too easy, so they fixed that in 3.5EIn 3E, weapon size worked well. Then Savage Species came along, and the rules began to break down in a big way. They fixed the rules in 3.5E - although incompletely. Where are the rules for different size missile weapons? (Personally, I think that anyone who has problems with the new system really should examine the optional rules on page 27 of the DMG).I see mistakes in 3.5E; but I also am realistic enough to know that in such a complex game, you're not going to get everything perfectly right... and that from their work so far, they'll pay attention when people point out these issues.Cheers!</blockquote>
