I'm thinking of more products like the Spell Compendium. (And it sounds like a magic item compendium is on the way.)At this point, I really don't need any more spells, magic items, monsters, feats, core classes. But I'd love to see some of my older existing material revised and updated.Take monsters, for instance. Right now I'm working on an adventure that will feature a powerful cloaker lord -- I'm thinking something in the CR 17 range. Cloaker lords appeared in Monsters of Faerun. There is a brief 3.5 update in a web enhancement over on the Wizards site, but there are a lot of weird open questions with this monster. For starters, it's a tough son-of-a-gun and casts spells as a 9th level wizard. It's Challenge Rating? 7.That seems pretty low, and lots of people have commented on this. Maybe the CR is right, and maybe it isn't, but it would be worthwhile to have WotC take another look.Similarly, the cloaker lord has a couple of abilities that could use updates. It's moan ability is listed as a free action; in 3.5 the regular cloaker's moan ability is specifically a standard action. Should that apply to the cloaker lord? The advancement line for the cloaker lord says "by character class" but the text specifically mentions cloaker lords of larger size and with more HD. Finally, its list of shadow spells could use serious updating.All of these are smaller things, but they are a pain in the butt for me and cumulatively add up.I realize this suggestion probably won't be a very popular. Most gamers hate re-hashes, and a bunch of updated and consolidated products probably don't sell as well as a supplement on a sexy new magic system, for instance.</blockquote>
