Re: Big blocks of text: Yeah, there was a LOT of material I needed to cover, and I had to be precise about it, so there was really no other way. I do go over some stuff twice, though--most of this redundancy is in the Glossary. In the next update (which probably won't be all that soon), I'll be making the glossary definitions more succinct, mainly linking to the chapters in which the subject is described more thoroughly.

Yeah, the "visual AC representations" were a long-standing "must-have" in my update plans. I needed to show people that Hide is actually worse than Studded Leather in almost every respect.

Thanks for the replies, guys. I think between this & the actual feedback thread, the 3rd edition may have already recieved more feedback than the 2nd edition ever got. (In all the years it was up, NO ONE ever wrote me to say things like, "Hey Six, you idiot! Bless, Entangle, and Find Familiar are NOT Level 8 spells! Monks DO NOT have a Deflect Missiles special ability! You DO NOT gain Thieving Skill bonuses from walking around naked!" etc.)
