[QUOTE="Gez, post: 504715, member: 1328"] What's the problem with [i]haste[/i] ? I can see a point for [i]harm[/i], but [i]haste[/i], WTF ? I've made some speculations. The PH gets 34 new pages. They can sure put any number of new nifties, but sadly, that would be insufficient for what I expected, integrating psionics in the core book (I've guesstimated that would take about 50 pages). The DMG gets 64 new pages. Among the PrC, there will probably be some of the splatbook; but I would also put some virtual money on the generic PrCs from the FRCS (archmage, hierophant, arcane devotee, divine champion, divine disciple, divine seeker). The MM gets 96 new pages. Even with a more space-consuming layout, new art, and new explanations, they'll probably have enough space to add a bunch of monsters. Sure, they could adapt missing ones, or reprint some selected few; but on the other hand, I've heard the monster compendium Monsters of Faerûn was out of print. It's a 96-page, and it could be less by removing all the redundant infos and "In the Realms" section. On the other hand, if the revised books are tied with the new campaign setting, these 96 pages could be taken with "In the Realms"-esque fluff for that setting for each of the monsters. [/QUOTE]
