Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jer" data-source="post: 2553738" data-attributes="member: 19857">There's a thread about this over on the WotC messageboards:<a href="http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=452060&page=2&pp=30" target="_blank">http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=452060&page=2&pp=30</a>With this quote from Andy Collins:And later in the same thread:So, judging by this and what's in the catalog entry, the Spell Compendium will:1. Not reprint spells from the Player's Handbook2. Contain more spells than any other book (including the PHB)3. Contain spells collected from books throughout 3rd edition's lifespan, including setting-specific ones4. Contain spells gathered from Dragon Magazine since the 3e rolloutGiven that, and the fact that this book is supposed to be a 288 page hardcover (almost the size of the PHB), I'd imagine that if you're looking for a book that reprints most of the good spells that have shown up over the last few years, you stand a chance of being happy with this book.I mean, there's no way they're going to be able to get ALL of the spells that have been printed over the last 5 years into a book that size.  We're not looking at a replacement for the 2e Wizard's Spell Compendium series here, after all.  But, I also wouldn't put too much weight on the term "most iconic" either.  Lately the word "iconic" seems to be bandied about by Wizard's the same way others use the word "ultimate" - I think it just means "spells that have been / seem to be the most useful in-game" in this instance.</blockquote>
