Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jer" data-source="post: 3397654" data-attributes="member: 19857">I'm really hoping that this is what the Rules Compendium actually is, plus erratta like the changes to Polymorph, the addition of the swift action, and other addendums that have to be repeated in every single book across the line as they come up because they aren't in the core rules.At this point, though, I'm not sure what that would mean.  It isn't marketed as a collection of new classes or new spells, and those are the two areas where new rules are the heaviest and require the most lugging of books (and the Spell Compendium fills that niche for Spells).  It may include a Feat Compendium (in fact, I wouldn't be surprised to find out that it started life as a Feat Compendium and turned out to not have enough "meat" to be just a feat compendium).  I guess the various Complete books have different little rule ticks that could be included (skill tricks come to mind, I know there are others but I can't recall them offhand), so maybe it'll end up being a collection of Feats and Special Ability rules, mixed with some situational rules and erratta?I guess we really won't know more until the previews start showing up on the website.  I'd be VERY surprised if this could take the place of any of the core books - they just did a new printing of the Player's Handbook according to the scuttlebut at D&D Experience, so they're going to want to sell those off rather than an all-in-one-book I would think.</blockquote>
