[QUOTE="Darth Quiris, post: 6459925, member: 6763029"] I will totally disagree with this. They could have put in a whole bunch more into this PHB that they already gave us and they chose to not do so specifically so they could do further PHB books. The way they wrote this PHB, the number of 'options' they gave us, is pretty identical to their approach in 4th edition, where each Class in PHB 4th edition had only 2 to 3 paths and then they had those class books that also had 2 to 3 paths for those classes. They could have easily put all those paths in this PHB and didn't do so. We will see more PHB books, and we'll see more Monster Manuals. They just won't be coming out with the supplemental books like they did for previous editions. This is the one area where the Pathfinder game rips D&D 5th edition to shreds. Just compare the two books Sorcerer classes. If they can have 6+ Sorcerer bloodlines in the core Pathfinder book, than WotC could have easily done the same in theirs. But they gave us the same exact two Sorcerer Bloodlines that they gave us in their PHB2 for 4th edition. In this way they copied and pasted a lot of their ideas from 4th to 5th edition. IMHO of course. [/QUOTE]
