[QUOTE="Monte At Home, post: 938601, member: 1335"] I suppose it's a matter of perspective. There are people who thought that the changes from 1E to 2E were massive and others who thought the changes from 2E to 3E were slight. I suppose my answer to this is, "not as different as I had originally feared"--because of the market split it would create. I don't want to be a 3.5 basher. There are things I don't like about it from a design standpoint, but there are things I like too. And I think it will sell well for WotC. I just worry about the effect it could (emphasis on "could") have on d20 sales. It's certainly muddied the waters and made d20 a more confusing place. I've already had people tell me "I won't buy your product if you convert to 3.5" and others say "I'll only buy your product if it works with 3.5." That's a lose/lose situation for me. While you can make logical arguments all day long that the changes aren't that severe, that it's all compatible, etc. what matters in the end is consumer perception. Not to mention damage that's going to be caused to d20 by the artificial glut that 3.5 has created by everyone waiting to put their products until after it's release. But that's another topic.
