[QUOTE="steeldragons, post: 6654086, member: 92511"] 3-5...So, let's say 4! :D Do the 2 adventure "paths" - though I, personally, do not use them. They seem to want to produce their adventures this way. A mistake, I think, but if they were to go tback to the older model of smaller stand-alone or [possibly] loosely connectable "modules" of a certain level range, then they could make this 4 instead of 2...which, then, ups the total count to 6.

The other being a content/character options style book: be that a Psionics Manual, expanded Spell Tome, a Player Races of the Multiverse Compleat, a "Waterborne/Frostborne/Desertborne Adventures" [with multiple race/class options and optional/expanded rules for running campaigns in XYZ locales, possibly with a minor/small adventure included?]...whatever.
