Deluxe 4th Edition
I was browsing Amazon today and I noticed that there is a Deluxe 4th Edition Player's handbook that comes out in August. It's 40 pages longer than the regular edition, at least according to Amazon. Does anyone have any idea what's in the deluze edition?

Re: Deluxe 4th Edition
More pages?
Seriously, I would suspect that it might have some behind-the-scenes notes and commentary, and perhaps some suggestions on adapting the rules to your campaign setting.
Of course, they could just put some extra crunch or fluff into the book as well. I would hope not, because then it could get confusing trying to find those extra rules...

Re: Deluxe 4th Edition
Larger type face? That's an old TSR trick... (though it's not limited to them).
So... they renamed 3.5, 'Deluxe'...It is a joyful thing indeed to hold intimate converse with a man after one’s own heart, chatting without reserve about things of interest or the fleeting topics of the world; but such, alas, are few and far between.

Re: Deluxe 4th Edition
It probably has more illustrations too, with better ink.

Re: Deluxe 4th Edition
I was going to vote for extra art pages and faux-leather binding. But then I noted that it was *40* extra pages. That's a lot more than I expected, and does puzzle me greatly.
Perhaps the page count is an estimate as they haven't actually worked it out completely and they wanted to allow for a lot of errata?

Re: Deluxe 4th Edition
I'd love a developers' commentary. They're half the reason why I buy DVDs.

Re: Deluxe 4th Edition
Maybe extra data?
Some versions of the 3.0 phb had a few pages of stats for the summon monster 1,2, as well as the different mounts.
