I thought the character creation system was one of the things that was going to
get a major overhaul in the 2nd ed. Or at the least, some major fixes...
please, _please_ tell me I'm not wrong??

One other thing: why, of all the books out, is the Grimoire the only one being
re-done? If they're re-doing all the spells, fine, but why can't they go in
the main book? What else in the Grimoire changes _so_much_ that they need to
re-do it but can't include it in the main book?
