You can't have traditional D&D with a comprehensive set of rules that cover every situation because then it's a different game.  D&D's appeal is the DM can do anything and the rules don't say no.   Wanna jump to our modern world sure, wanna go to gamma world all right, wanna go to Olympus have fun.   And  all of those options would require a ton of work by DM to make it possible to be fun for everyone.   I really feel like this entire thread is the old we need enough rules to fix the Bad DM's.   Problem is that many rules breaks the good DM's or causes them to refuse to play by the rules and then you have a more fractured base and possibly affect sales.   What you want isn't likely to happen because most customers are happy with what they have.   Why rework the rules for the most popular class?  Why would the company reengineer thier best product as far as classes go?</blockquote>
