Message: <blockquote data-quote="JeffB" data-source="post: 502962" data-attributes="member: 518">Well here’s what I’d want (but I don’t necessarily have any real hope that I’ll get)1)    They already said new covers. I’m happy!2)    New art..especially for some of the monsters. For pete’s sakes, feed that poor displacer beast! And give us an Orc & Vampire I don’t chuckle at every time I see them! 3)    Basically if the layout and formatting looks something like the RSWCB, I’ll be very happy. I thought the skill section was done particularly well in that book. The skill descriptions were much clearer, and also gave a fairly in-depth discussion of when the Take 10/20 mechanic applied for each skill. In addition, example DC’s are more clearly explained (and given a “rating”), and the Skill Synergy rule is improved.4)    For the new players, the introduction to the rules mechanics like the RSWCB had would be good. 5)    Get rid of those horrid college rule lines! They give me a headache!6)    I’d like to see the ranger somewhat revised. Just so that class has more to look forward to after 1st level. 7)    Either an official or more likely, a variant Item creation system that ties in with the XP/ECL/CR system so that individual DM’s don’t have so much guesswork when they run a campaign that differs from the core in how much or little magic is available. At the least some advice on doing so (other than the paragraph in the current DMG that does really nothing other than to say” things will change if you vary magic levels”..duh..thanx…)8)    The “actions” system needs to be cleaned up and explained more clearly. Again, SWRCB did a good job of this.9)    I’m not looking forward to the “miniatures” add-on, really but If the combat system overall is cleaned up and explained better (grappling, constriction, AoO’s,etc.), this will go a long way with convincing my group to keep playing 3E instead of playing through a module, then playing some other game for 6 months, playing a few sessions of 3E quitting again…etc.10)    This is totally just an aesthetic preference and has no bearing on the game really, but I would prefer a more classic look to the art and feel of the revised books vs. the dungeon-punk, bizarre look and feel of the current 3E books. But I’m not terribly hopeful for this (and I’m sure many others would disagree with me) <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />All I can think of for now.</blockquote>
