[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 5406209, member: 82106"] Well, where do I start? Most of the core rules. Loads of other stuff like the rules for familiars, beast companions, rituals, martial practices, skill powers, style specialization, and any number of other things. Anything that isn't crunch pretty much. A good bit of that stuff you can find in the Rules Compendium if you have one, but obviously you need that and/or various splat books to have the full rules. Once you know the various rules you can generally get away with the online Compendium, but it is definitely not possible to find everything in DDI. Your average player with DDI probably doesn't really need all those books, but they are not valueless by far. Tastes vary. I'm not telling anyone what they should read or what they should like. I'm just saying, the printed books have a certain value beyond referencing game elements as you can in various DDI tools. Maybe. We can only guess. I'm also not particularly stating that I advocate WotC's business decisions as the best way to do things or the way I would do it.
