[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 2444986, member: 22779"] Now, I gotta say, I completely and 100% disagree with that. The old format of presenting (say) PrC's as a collection of stats with two or three short paragraphs detailing what the PrC is about, well, not to mince words, blew chunks. I really appreciate the new format. Including the fluff is just as important as the crunch. Now, when my player asks about PrC X, I can turn to the fluff end of things and say more easily whether it fits in my campaign or not. Maybe I envision the PrC as completely different from it's intent. Having the fluff allows me to see at least the author's intent for the class or magic item or whatever. And, from a newer DM's point of view, I could easily see how a new DM could be overwhelmed by the vast amount of product out there. Having well written fluff included with the crunch makes integration that much easier. [/QUOTE]
