ENWorld is FULL of clever folks!Hey, there's plenty of people out there who think record companies should give you music for free. In comparison, certainly asking a company to correct their errors without charging me for their mistakes is MORE reasonable.Whether either is really reasonable at all or not is pretty much up to the individual definition of "reasonable." Which is certainly an ambiguous word at best.Most everything worth buying that is less than $150 can grant equal or greater hours of non-repititious fun, with enough imagination and creativity.The Spell Compendium does everything it sets out to do. Sadly, what it sets out to do is kinda pathetic. It should have been par for the course, given to loyal fans who baught their books even despite their glaring mistakes. That doesn't mean it's not useful. It just means attacking WotC for lacking imagination in making this product IS an accurate attack that I have every right to make. It's not wrong. Some people might not care about creativity. Some people liked Jar Jar Binks. There's no real accounting for personal values. I happen to value creativity and innovation QUITE highly. Highly enough to point out that the Spell Compendium utterly lacks it. Others don't, and bully for them, they'll like this book just fine. It doesn't change the book's lack of creativity.So Wizards gets attacked for a lack of creativity because they didn't TRY to be creative, and instead they try to sell us their previous mistakes, this time polished up and shiny. It's almost like charging for erratta.</blockquote>
