[QUOTE="dm4hire, post: 4069013, member: 14848"] Sadly I agree that the builds open up the way to more splat books. The game needs less splat books as it is. It can be intimidating to look at a wall of books for a game and try to figure out where to begin. Not to mention the looming recession threatening to ruin our economy which is making it harder to buy all these books for those who want to collect every book. Too many splats pave the way to yet another edition, not that low sales doesn't tend to birth them as well (not saying that about 4.0 but looking hard at 3.5 and the inevitable 4.5). There is also the possibility there are more builds in the book as well and we were only shown two to get an idea of how they work. The preview was designed to reveal and start questions flowing, but if everything was show it would have been either too much of a spoiler or caused a cataclysmic influx of questions shutting down WotC servers. For the most part I like what I have seen. I want to see what the rogue looks like from D&D Experience this coming weekend before I really make a solid judgment. Coarse we'll also get to see a few other classes and a lot more questions will be raised. [/QUOTE]
