Message: <blockquote data-quote="MrMyth" data-source="post: 5261738" data-attributes="member: 61155">"This latest version of the rules... incorporates revisions and updates based on player feedback." So, right up front, the 3.5 quote says they are changing the rules. It is being outright presented as an update and revision of the game. As a new version of the rules.  Not a new supplement, which is what Essentials is being presented out.  WotC has, up front, said that some errata will come out alongside it - mainly of things they were planning to change anyway.  I admit, they could be lying. The book could come out, and rather than races getting some additional options (which doesn't have to change anything for existing characters), and wizards having some encounter powers getting enhanced (which doesn't have to change anything for existing characters)... they could instead change core elements, hitpoints, proficiencies of several classes, change how numerous powers work for other classes, and force everyone with existing characters to update them to stay current. But there seems to be absolutely nothing indicating that is going to happen.</blockquote>
