Soooooo....... Since we are seemingly not seeing NDA's or developers copies of the SRD, can we at least make some asumptions. How about: 1. Will the Character statblocks in the SRD look the same as those released by WotC for thwe PHB? ie: http://www.wizards.com/dnd/3E_Character_Monk.asp http://www.wizards.com/dnd/3E_Character_Cleric.asp http://www.wizards.com/dnd/3E_Character_Wizard.asp http://www.wizards.com/dnd/3E_Character_Rogue.asp http://www.wizards.com/dnd/3E_Character_Fighter.asp FROM ERIC NOAH's FACTSHEET: http://www.rpgplanet.com/dnd3e/3echaracters.htm IE: Tweedledee, 10th-Level Fighter Human 1 XP 45,000 2 HP 10d10 3 ST 13 (+1) DX 16 (+3) CN 10 (+0) IN 15 (+2) WI 7 (-2) CH 8 (-1) 4 Melee Attack Bonus: 5 First attack -- +10 (for 10th level Fighter) 6 , +1 (for ST), for a total of +11 Second attack -- is at five less than the first, so +6 no third attack -- he doesn't have enough class-derived combat bonuses to earn that. Missile Attack Bonus: 5 +10 (for 10th level Fighter) 6, +3 (for DX), for a total of +13 (for first attack; rules are yet unclear about multiple attacks with weapons that might already have a rate of fire greater than 1 per round) Damage Bonus: +1 (for ST) Initiative Bonus: 8 0 (wearing heavy armor) 7 Armor Class: 9 Splint Mail (AC 16) 10, no bonuses for high DX because of the weight of this kind of armor 7 Saving Throw Bonuses: Fortitude +7, Reflex +6, Will +1 11 Special Abilities: 12 weapon specialization 13, extra melee attacks 14 Skills: 15 Feats: 4 general feats, plus 6 feats from a limited list of combat-related feats 16 2. Will the Spell statblocks in the SRD look the same as those released by WotC for the PHB? IE: http://www.wizards.com/dnd/3E_Spellbook_0500.asp http://www.wizards.com/dnd/3E_Spellbook_0400.asp http://www.wizards.com/dnd/3E_Spellbook_0300.asp http://www.wizards.com/dnd/3E_Spellbook_0200.asp http://www.wizards.com/dnd/3E_Spellbook_0100.asp FROM ERIC NOAH's FACTSHEET: http://www.rpgplanet.com/dnd3e/3emagic.htm IE: 3rd Edition Spell Format Flame Strike Evocation [Fire] Level: Clr 5, Drd 4, Sun 5, War 5 Components: V, S, DF Casting Time: 1 action Range: Medium (100 ft.+10 ft./level) Area: Cylinder (10-ft. radius, 40 ft. high) Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: Reflex half Spell Resistance: Yes A flame strike is a vertical column of divine fire roaring downward. The spell deals 1d6 points of damage per level, to a maximum of 15d6. Half the damage is fire damage, but the rest of the damage results directly from divine power and is therefore not subject to protection from elements (fire), fire shield (chill shield), etc 3. Will the Monster statblocks in the SRD look the same as those released by WotC for thwe PHB? ie: http://www.wizards.com/dnd/3E_Monster_0400.asp http://www.wizards.com/dnd/3E_Monster_0300.asp http://www.wizards.com/dnd/3E_Monster_0200.asp FROM ERIC NOAH's FACTSHEET: http://www.rpgplanet.com/dnd3e/3emonsters.htm IE: Beholder Medium Aberration Hit Dice: 11d8+11 (60 hp) Initiative: +4 (Improved Initiative) Movement: 5 ft., Fl 20 ft.

This creature, also called the sphere of many eyes or the eye tyrant, appears as a large orb dominated by a central eye and a large toothy maw, and has 10 smaller eyes on stalks sprouting from the top of the orb. Among adventurers, beholders are known as deadly adversaries. Beholders speak their own language and the Common tongue If these items are the same, a LOT of work can be done but leave blanks in place to update when the SRD is relesed at a later time.
