D&D 5E (2014) Monster Manual 2 or Player's Handbook 2?

[Ezequielramone]

I'm just curious. Leaving behind other kind of books like supplements or campaigns settings...
Do you guys prefer a Monster Manual 2 or a Player's Handbook 2?
Personally I prefer a PH2.

MM2 definitely

 

[GMforPowergamers]

phb2... I always need more PC options... feats, classes sub classes...

 

[Gothmog]

MM2 definitely. I really don't want 5e to bloat into the monstrosity 3.5, and to a lesser extent, 4e was. We'll get more PC options with each adventure arc WotC does, but a big, beautiful book of monsters? I'll take that every freakin' time over a bunch of PC options!

 

[txshusker]

MM2.

 

[steeldragons]

MM2. Only option.

PC options are perfectly doable through various supplements and/or campaign and/or race specific books.

Anything that wasn't important enough to make the PHB[1], quite obviously, does not need/is not important enough to be in a PHB.

The whole concept of serial PHBs brought on by...from what I can tell, the edition immediately prior to 5e...can die in the fire from whence it was surely created.

Moar monsters!

I'm all about more PC options. I would rather they come from a big, shiny new PHB than in dribs and drabs from a bunch of setting and adventure books. I DM, but I feel like with bounded accuracy, I can get way more mileage out of the current MM than anything in the past. Plus, with proper monster creation rules in the DMG, I doubt I'll have a strong need for another book full of monsters.

MM2, all the way.

You can easily have too many races or classes for a campaign, but you really pretty much can't ever have enough monsters.

Neither. Both end up being full of stuff I'll only rarely, if ever use, as the core PHB and MM already have a ton of material in them. I would like to see campaign setting specific options books for both critters and characters, though. In other words, a Forgotten Realms book of backgrounds, spells, feats, and subclasses (no new classes) and a Forgotten Realms, dare I say it, monstrous compendium. And then a Dark Sun player option book and MC, and Dragonlance, and Mystara, etc, etc.

But, not generic PHB2 or MM2. Those, to me, end up being bland and boring.
