Hopefully, history will not repeat itself

If past history is any indication, there won't be updated reprints.. the 3.5 erratas were really getting HUUUUUGE (well especially since they cover all books of the edition...)

Nah the gnome is pretty much officially a monster race now with 'hints on how to to make it a PC playable race' from some article on the main sites... *shrug*

I heard rumors of PHB2 (and PHB3) which would bring back other classes too (I kind of miss druids, bards, monks and sorcerers).

I'm not sure if I would prefer extra PHBs or smaller books, 1 per class.

I remember having similar frustrations when 3.0 came out - my favorite class from ADnD got nuked: no more priests. If I wanted to play religion, I was stuck with the cleric, which back then felt like a paladin wannabe.

I still have my Priest's Handbook from ADnD - once one of my most treasured DnD-related possession

I guess they could bring back gnomes in an extra volume... but I have a feeling that they just didn't find any specific rules to put on the gnome to justify it being an extra race.

I guess we could home-build a gnome race... or just use the halfling template and call it "gnome"!

Bards are gone from the core classes.. should be back in another book a bit later

gnomes, on the other hand.... :\
