I know this has come up in other product discussion and that many things make it impractical, but.......Please....pretty please? It would be so nice.

<p>I know that if an AP I was interested in came out and already had all 6 volumes, maps, minis, item cards, npc portraits, etc and I could get it all in just one click, I would jump on it.

<p>@ Mabven the OP healer. In this player's defense, he brought this up because he thought it was broken, not to use with one of his PC's. Sometimes when we end up with game down time due to an absent player etc we build crazy character concepts at 20th level and run them against mixed pairs of high cr monsters just to sort of test out the mechanics of combat at that high a level. It was during one of these "experimental" sessions that this question arose. This player is very conscious of game play and balance. munchkins don't stay at our table, we either "retrain" them or bounce them.</p>@everyone.
