SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

I assume you mean the saving throws & combat matrices?  Pretty much everything else is in the PHB.  For me, the annoying thing was having the monster XP charts in the DMG, not the Monster Manual.  And the xp per HP thing, which C&C has kept, was one change I really liked with later editions and retroclones.  That really bogs things down.  But remember, the point was to spread the game out into 3 books. 

But yeah, as I've stated frequently around here, my overwhelming preference these days is for everything in one book and I don't care how thick it is.  Hence, when Hyperborea released a new edition in two volumes, I checked out.

Yep, I agree.  These days I want things in one place so I can waste less time finding things and more time gaming.
