[QUOTE="Hardhead, post: 997686, member: 2844"] If by "fixing," you mean "lumped [i]even more[/i] stuff into the Wonderous Items category," you're right, but I don't consider that an improvement, though the issue is minor. BryonD said: I'm sorry, I guess my original post wasn't clear enough. WotC claimed over and over that it was a decision motivated primarily by feedback. This appears now it is not the case. That's what I meant. Many buisness decisions make me mad. It causes changes in my purchasing habits and creates some of the most important feedback a company can get (as a general rule, if they're making people mad, they're doing something wrong). This one doesn't make mad, but it [i]has[/i] made some people mad. Anyway, that aside, I still don't see why it was "childish" of Monte to tell everyone the primary motivation behind the revision. You said: "I do not know of a single 3.5 change that will not be in the SRD." I said: "Illithids, Slaad, Githyanki, Githzeari, and the "tanar'ri and baatezu" names will not be in the SRD, at least." I'm going to assume you actually somehow managed to miss that point rather than assuming that you were just being very rude for some reason and completly ignoring my statement. So, to clarify, my point was that not everything in the 3.0 books will be playable in 3.5 with just the SRD. You'll have to go out and buy the MM to get the 3.5 versions of some of the monsters, if not more. Note that there may be other things not in the SRD as well, since we haven't seen it to know what it includes and what it doesn't. For instance, I'd be very surprised if the Red Wizard ended up in the SRD. [/QUOTE]
