[QUOTE="AdmundfortGeographer, post: 2512104, member: 4682"] A little perspective here, would you call it wrong if even a sliver of the book is "rehashed" material? Because the DMG II has reprinted material, the entire book is not all new. Wether or not you bought it, did WotC do wrong according to you? What's the point? Accumulating some of the most popular of the good stuff from widely scattered stuff would be one point. Or is it that just to not offend your sense of "wasted print space" you'd insist that everyone else should need to spend hundreds of dollars to get the many scattered books where the few really good gems that might potentially be consolidated into a PHB II (included with bunches of more new stuff)? :] No reason? No reason at all? Isn't consolidating the material scattered across more than a half dozen other books into a single book [i]a reason[/i]? :eek: You suggested reprinting the PHB with errata and FAQ clarifications (as mentioned, see the leatherbound Special Edition PHB), how about reprinting material from the Complete and Races books "with errata and FAQ clarifications"? ... and all in a single book! :p Personally, there [b]is a limit[/b] to how large of a [b]proportion[/b] of a new PHB II is reprinted material. But if it is well below half reprinted material, I'll be very satisfied. [/QUOTE]
