an_idol_mind said:I prefer core only in my games for two reasons. One, it means I only have to haul three books and my notebook to the game. Two, it keeps the rules pretty simple, while at the same time allowing for a surprising range of options. I'd much prefer to see WotC go the route of fewer rules and more modules or settings, although I udnerstand why that isn't feasible money-wise.
I think one of the elephants in the room is that we actually have seen all of 4E's combat rules. Well, at least we are 90% there I think. All of the other "rules" come from character powers which we haven't seen beyond level 1 for the most part. Personally I would like the combat section as lean as possible with little to no subsystems aside from a universal resolution mechanic (i.e. ability vs. defense/DC).
Incidently, have you ever hauled the Ptolus book around? That's a workout!
