1. Please get rid of the he/she gender use in the core rule book, and
only use one gender when explaining things.




      IMHO, this is a pontless..er..point.  WoTC/Hasbro did this same thing
with 3rd edition DnD, took reader surveys, polls, and all that.  I don;t see
the point, in the end, there is no real HE or SHE, rather an IT.  If a
pronoun offends people so much, I say use IT.  He has always been the
standard, due to the "male dominated" way of life.  So then to be PC, they
started useing she....but that offended some MORE people, so then the
literary comunity went to ALTERNATING pronouns, which is just retarded.  This
is the LAST thing we should worry about for a next edition ME (if there ever
will be).  Modifiers and supplements, such as the ones we all have already
been discussing, are FIRST on my list.
