Message: <blockquote data-quote="Michael Morris" data-source="post: 755240" data-attributes="member: 87">The SRD will contain the bare bones of the changes so that designers like myself can use the new corebooks.  Much of the new content will be clarifications to the rules and better explanations for confusing sections of the rules like attacks of opportunity - and the SRD is *not* going to include this material.  The SRD will be, at best, a way of seeing what the new changes are and you will be able to infer how they were arrived at, but it will be difficult to learn or teach the game based on the SRD by itself.  Indeed, the current SRD is this way.Not to diss the SRD, but it is definately a poor man's replacement for the actual books.  For those who have the existing core rulebooks it may prove to be enough, but there's no guarantee.Personally, I'll be at least getting a PHB.  The spine of mine was broken when I accidently dropped it 4 stories (Very few books survive that - and I'm lucky it didn't hit anyone).  I'll probably give my current books to some crudgemudgeons who have thus far refused to move to 3e from 1e.</blockquote>
