[QUOTE="Walking Dad, post: 5505713, member: 59043"] Have I to answer the third giy to this??? Calling it superficial still don't negate the statement. Yes, but it was always the PHBs. And this is the difference. Hey, you needed a Playstation 2 to play Tekken 3. But you could play Tekken 1 on the old Playstation. No difference? Great points. But HotFK and HotFL are not the equivalent to a PHB4. They are an alternative to the PHB line. And one better supported by HoS than the PHB line. Long paragraph, I hope I catch everything: Psionic Powers advancement is much similar to the PH1 one than you say. They gain Psionic Points exactly the same level they would get encounter powers. And choose at-wills they use as encounter powers at the same level. But And heroes of shadow provides no support to any class not present in HotFK and HotFL (ok, it also provides a new one: Vampire and supports the essentials assassin (formerly DDI exclusive)). For new feats in HotFK and HotFL, many were from the PHB line or to overpower the feats in it (new expertise feats, for example). I will take this seriously after I have seen Str cleric and Con warlock powers in the book (maybe the binder is Con primary???) Yes, other classes. Not the half of an existing class. And it provided Dex and Str powers for the only Martial class with two primaries. Your point? My answer: It supports HotFK and HotFL, and by virtue of backward-compatibility most of the stuff in the PHB line. [/QUOTE]
