Wait a minute.
Are you saying:
PHB I (Arcane, Divine, Martial)
Martial power I
Arcane Power I
Divine Power I
PHB II (Psychic, Shadow)
Martial Power II
Arcane Power II
Divine Power II
Psychic Power I
Shadow Power I
PHB III (Primal, Tech)
Martial Power III
Arcane Power III
Divine Power III
Psychic Power II
Shadow Power II
Primal Power I
Tech Power I
That is a lot of damn books. Some consolidation would be welcome there. I don't think they can dupe people into buying 7 power books in the 3rd year.
Nope,I'm saying:
PHB I (Arcane, Divine, Martial)
Martial power I
Arcane Power I
Divine Power I
PHB II (Psychic, Shadow)
Psychic Power I
Shadow Power I
PHB III (Primal, Tech)
Primal Power I
Tech Power I
((It should also be noted there will probably be an arcane
and a martial powersource in all the pHB's. (expcet MAYBE the psionic one) So we will certainly see martial power II, etc. Hey, wizards adn warriors are popular))
See the idea is that the power books will only expand upon the PHB they draw from, and not the others. Though they will certianly toss in stuff from the classes gone before so that more people buy them, (for instance, psionic books are never as popular as the arcane magic ones, as everyone knows) Also, campaign splats (FRCS, Eberron, Dragonlance, etc) will also see material on possible all classes relased upto that setting splats publishing date.
Also, this time around we will see books influenced by demand as never before; the way classes are organized, wotc will be able to clearly see which PHB sells the most, and thus they will focus on splats for that one above all. So if PHBIII turns out to have the highest sales, you will see material on PHBIII classes not just in their respective powerbooks, but also elsewhere (such as in the FRCS series of splats)
