[QUOTE="Crust, post: 3705142, member: 22330"] Of course I'm going to buy it. However, this time around I think I might stick to the core books only. Why? Two reasons: 1. I have a mountain of 3E and 3.5 materials that I've been collecting and using for the last seven years, and I expected to have at least another three years before I had to start the endless buying loop all over again. Heck, I just picked up [I]Spell Compendium [/I] last month. [I]Rules Compendium [/I] is coming, along with a bunch of other 3.5 books, and they're announcing 4E? I don't like that. I know people have to eat, but I still don't like that. 2. The splatbook overload has lead to some problems at the table. Namely the rhino's rush spell in [I]Spell Compendium [/I] combined with a half-orc ranger, power attack, a greataxe, improved favored enemy and combat brute from [I]Complete Warrior[/I], and great leap from [I]Complete Adventurer[/I]. It's as if designers aren't even considering other books. I'm seriously considering only sticking to the core books, both to save me some money and keep things in line at the table. I might not want to buy a fourth [I]Player's Handbook[/I], but I will so as to stay on board with modules and such, but I'm tired of having to buy all my books again every 7-8 years. [/QUOTE]
