[QUOTE="Estlor, post: 503189, member: 7261"] My thoughts: RPHB is something I'm more inclined to purchase for a couple of reasons. The adjustments made to the book sound a little more interesting and the spine on my existing book never was in good shape and worries the heck out of me. If I had to wager what they're doing, I'd figure this: RPHB [list] [*]Addition of feats from OA, S&F, and T&B. Just a dusting of each, offering more choices for the martial arts-based monk and fighter plus a few of the (now) standard metamagic feats no in the PHB. [*]Bard class that gets six skill points, a slightly beefier spell list, and perhaps a few more bardic music abilities [*]Monks that can multiclass and can swap out class abilities like in OA [*]Ranger bonus feats instead of front-loading the class. [*]Clarification of Attacks of Opportunity with new picture examples. [*]Corrected Polymorph Self - though haste and harm will be left alone :p [/list] RDMG [list] [*]Addition of a number of prestige classes from splat books that are generic enough for every campaign. [*]Clearer magic item pricing guidelines. [*]A generally less-sucky layout and content for the book on a whole. [/list] RMM [list] [*]Monster ECLs for most if not all monsters (as was done in the MM2). [*]Ever so slight layout changes. Still not one monster to a page, but no more breaking stat blocks up and causing lots of widows and orphans across pages. [*]A picture for every monster type in the book. [*]Replacement of some of the blatantly BAD illustrations. [*]Tweaked monster CRs. [/list] As I'm not psychic, I could be (and probably am) completely and totally wrong here. [/QUOTE]
