[QUOTE="D+1, post: 1255815, member: 13654"] It exists to sell minis, period. 3E was VERY miniatures friendly from the get-go. 3.5 certainly made it more so but if 3.0 did not give you any problems in that regard then I just can't see anyone complaining about 3.5 changes in that direction. The Miniatures Handbook itself? Don't buy it if you don't like the idea of D&D as a wargame because that's what it's for. You might notice that it's still on a skirmish level because D&D probably never will translate usefully to large-scale battles. It also provides basic classes to tie the miniatures game and the RPG together to an exent, giving you reasons to invest in the minis regardless of which angle you're coming from. Myself, I've been buying quite a lot of the minis because I've always liked miniatures, have NEVER played D&D without them (for some 25 years mind you), are less expensive than metals and require no painting or forklifts to move from point A to B, and I confess I like the collectibility angle. I bought the book for no particularly good reason since I actually anticipated that I would NOT be playing it, although I may end up using it to help teach D&D to one of my players kids. [/QUOTE]
