[QUOTE="JustKim, post: 2504908, member: 5478"] My, aren't you judgemental? I don't see what gives you the right to call me a zombie for buying a book. I don't know any people who went out and bought the 3.5 books out of obedience, how many do you know? Consequently, how many people are you accusing of being drones simply for buying something you don't personally want? I'll tell you why I bought the revised books. I bought them because after reading through them with a very good grasp of the d20 system and the shortcomings of 3E, I realized that the core classes are better balanced. The DMG is useful beyond just its reward tables. The Monster Manual is much more balanced, particularly when it comes to the outsiders, and I knew when I read it I wouldn't want to go back to vrocks who are always one critical hit away from death. The Expanded Psionics Handbook is the first time in the history of D&D psionics have been done right. I'd say my case for buying 3.5 books is pretty good. And can I just say, thank god for 4th edition threads? These thinly veiled excuses for edition wars never get old. Every week for the last three years I've looked forward to the next "Oh no 4E" thread, and there are always new insights being brought to the discussion, I can hardly keep up! [/QUOTE]
