Player's Handbook II (and other May releases)

[Snapdragyn]

My wish for the phbII:

pp.1-12 The Warlock class, in detail (with all bugs worked out and variant Warlock classes).
pp. 13-15 Warlock special use of skills
pp. 16-27 Extra feats, with emphsis on warlock use.
pp. 28-125 Warlock Invokations (old ones cleaned up, and new ones added)
pp. 126-240 Warlock entry prestige classes (list of old ones with prereq's modified, plus new ones)
pp. 241-300 Warlock magic items.
pp. 301 Everything else.

... and they'll retitle it 'Complete Warlock'.

Seriously, I would like to see some new warlock stuff as well, especially 1 or 2 PrCs designed specifically for them. I'm also hoping that Magic of Eberron will include some Artificer PrCs; there's another class with ZERO PrCs to fit its core flavor!

Bloody Hell! Is nothing holy to those bastards over at WoTC? You can't have a DMGII and Player's Handbook II.

Clearly you can.

The Omnipotent's Omnipedium?

Did you steal that from a Harry Potter book?

Ah, great news. I want that PHB II to be full of crunchy stuff. The DMG II was a good book and all, but players want stuff to play with. I think the WotC staff know that.

But does the staff know that we DMs may not allow it? Hehehe.

I had no need for the DMG II, I will have no need for the PH II. I do not like them, Sam I am.

For the love of all that is holy, please don't let it be a rehash of previously published materials. I bought the "complete" series, so none of that information needs to be gone over again. Miniatures Handbook doesn't have enough info not covered by other books to bother refreshing.

The Player's Handbook II needs to be completely new ideas, similar to the Unearthed Arcana.

And what new ideas could PHB2 have to offer?

And if it's like Unearthed Arcana (the "big book of variant rules"), perhaps it should be retitled Unearthed Arcana II (complete with OGL attached).

Well, when Unearthed Arcana came out, I'm sure many people had the same question. They also had the same question about the DMGII.

I'm hoping for goodness.

But if it isn't new ideas, what's the point??? Why keep rehashing the same material over and over. If the classes are already in the "complete" series, which is still pretty new, then there is no reason to re-print them again.

Heck, while we are at it, why don't they just release it as an updated PHB with the current errata and FAQ rulings included. Just re-hash the PHB and the information in it, including the core classes :\

They did, when they released the leatherbound PHB last year. New standard PHB have the same phrase: "First Printing: July 2003, Special Edition October 2004."
