[QUOTE="Mercule, post: 5873107, member: 5100"] Agreed. The books should be published with the idea that what's in the books will be writ in stone for the duration of the edition. Typos happen and can be fixed in a second printing, but substantive changes in rules are exactly what makes a new edition. IMNSHO, the point when WotC officially changed the polymorph rules is the point they "jumped the shark", so to speak. Put it as an alternate rule in Dragon, if you want, but the standard 3.5 rules on Polymorph can always be found in the PHB. If you find polymorph is broken, that's the sort of thing you make a note of and [u]fix it in the next edition[/u]. PDFs should be of the books. Feel free to add hyperlinks and other nifty features. I'd even be willing to pay for an online tool (or, better yet, iPad or Windows app) like the 4e rules encyclopedia. I'd like it a bit more user friendly, though. I'd also like it to show me the same rules my players have in their books. I can't run a game when the players all have different copies of the "same" rules. [/QUOTE]
