[QUOTE="Charwoman Gene, post: 5261549, member: 5044"] It's also a bad idea to allow confirmation bias to be the determining factor in whether or not you believe them. Look at real evidence, not rumor. Right now there isn't any. You don't think mana nation has a vested interest in generating page hits by posting a rumor that could be using the conversations on this forum as their "source" for all we know? No rep in reliable D&D rumors. We do have some anecdotal reports from game store owners, but as a class, they are hideously misinformed. Now, here is the kicker. WotC have publicly implied that the PH, DMG, and MM will go out of print. They mention the Essentials line as "Evergreen" and that it will stay in print. This implies that the other D&D books won't. The question is when, and will they release the classes and other info in a new dead tree format. This is my unfounded guess part. I think Wizards will repackage the PH 1 Fighter, the Warlord and such into one new volume that drops problematic powers, and contains all errata. The book will not be a traditional reprint, as it will not reprint the basic game rules. The best part of the "compatibilty" tizzy is that only one build of one class has seen strong incompatibility concerns. Mage is as compatible as Arcane power. Warpriest has a little incompatibility with Strength cleric, but not too bad. I think it will be baconlicious if it turns out the slayer uses the standard power progression. [/QUOTE]
