[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 6387468, member: 1465"] I haven't had time for a trip down the FLGS to check out the PHB, but from what I'm hearing, I'm starting to feel like from an editorial point of view it does have a series of shortcomings... This is (negatively) quite surprising, since the same designers have been working on previous editions or other RPG for a very long time, so they should not have forgotten the good editorial ideas of 3e and 4e! I've always said I wanted to see the amount of errata before buying the new books, and then maybe wait until a second print. But now it seems errata are really few (much better than previous editions!) but we get these new problems, which sadly won't be fixed by a simple second print... So now I am actually wondering if I should skip this year's PHB completely and wait for the 2015 version of it. Perhaps it still won't have better spells blocks and short descriptions in spells list however, and it's of course possible that there won't be a 2015 version at all. But if there is, I would feel very stupid for buying an almost-unfinished book... [/QUOTE]
