It's been heralded as the most balanced and exciting edition yet. I'd say that that is pretty much spot on. When will we start to see power creep though? I mean, they pretty much have to make thier new stuff "better" than thier old stuff if they want to sell it right? I think people would be pretty disapointed if PHB II had the same powers with different names. I'm expecting them to respond to this question with "new material will be balanced against the core, so as to be interesting, but not more powerful." I'm just throwing this out there, I'm not trying to make any points. Hopefully we can discuss this without bashing the new system, or 3.5. It's a fact of game development that is not good or bad.

For example, look at the spells found in the 3e PHB2 - not exactly overpowered, but they definitely play differently than what had come before. Now, with 4e they have reserved abilities specifically for classes that will come out in the future. That says to me that future supplements will only add new game pieces, not try to 'one-up' mechanics that have come before.
