Yes and no: the basic rules are, indeed, as was, but the Hero's Book is designed to be compatible with the revised HW rules, rather than obsolete as soon as HW2 emerges. This is actually a reason for the delay, awaiting the resolution of a couple of outstanding rules issues. That said, the HB will only cover theist magic, and the key areas for substantial revision are the animism and mysticism rules. Both of which look as if they are going to be *much* better - the mysticism ideas Greg's working on them should suddently make mystics not just viable but really fun heroes.
