[QUOTE="R_J_K75, post: 8383698, member: 6921294"] I dont think its too much to ask that they take a long hard look at how the spell section, (and the rest of the PHB) is laid out. Im not talking about the first read through but more from an at-the-table standpoint. My eyesight isnt that great anymore, add on a few beers and its pretty hard to read a whole description such as Spiritual Hammer on the fly. They need to make a system thats two fold, heres the entire book if you want it, but heres the really important stuff if you need it at a glance. Hiding/stealth is a perfect example of page flipping to get the whole picture, cover, light, etc. Its seems it almost needs its own chapter. IDC if the book ends up with 100 chapters, Id prefer 100 two page chapters that make sense and are complete than 10 huge ones. if you want to know everything about jumping...turn to the 1 page jump chapter that includes magical items, spells, and anything else that you need to know. I say get rid of the PHB and DMG format. its antiquated and only hinders the game, go with a single core book. Start with a good ToC/index and you should be able to quickly find what you need. The more I play 5E as a player the cracks are showing more and more and Id pay for a 5.5E now. [/QUOTE]
