However, lets say I want to write an article with new fighter powers to submit to Dragon. What am I going to base it off; use the current fighter at-will/encounter/daily system or Essentials "MBA-modifying Stances with no dailies" build?If you say the PHB one; then the Essentials line is a one-off with no official support going forward beyond what can be interchanged between it and "core".If you say Essentials one; the PHB fighter becomes obsolete, again barring power-swapping between the two "builds"If you say write powers for both, you're doubling the chances of something going haywire or someone only using 1/2 of your article.See? Same deal: I'm writing a module for Dungeon. Which goblin minion am I going to use; the original one in the MM1 (which has been errata'd and rebuilt to meet MM3 standards) or the new, already-fixed one in the MV?Granted, both are kinda corner-case, as a DM I can mix in whatever I like (I used 3.0 PrCs and monsters in my 3.5 and Pathfinder games too) but the official line forward can't support two "cores"; either PHB/DMG/MM 1 is still the Core and Essentials is a one-off product never to be expanded upon OR Essentials is the New Core and the PHB/DMG/MM lines slowly fades into the sunset.</blockquote>
