[QUOTE="ColonelHardisson, post: 355883, member: 363"] Yes, the Core Book limitation is my own personal guideline. Please don't take that as limiting anyone else in what they want to do. The project is intended to to let people present a wide variety of interpretations of Lord of the Rings, thus helping to ensure that anyone who visits the site (or these threads) will find something to their liking. Please feel free to use any and all sources in your conversion - I'd be very interested in seeing it. As Gru noted, even I have suggested non-Core material in doing a Middle Earth d20 conversion. I simply use the Core when I'm doing character write-ups, magic items, or monsters that are going to be posted on the site, just to make them accessible to anyone. The only exceptions are the Epic Level characters I've done, but I think I did them in such a way that you could probably use them without that book. But I'm thinking about adding a few non-Core things to some of my conversions - for example, I've been thinking about adding in the Defense bonus concept from Wheel of Time and Star Wars to my character write-ups that are posted. Don't feel limited in doing whatveer you want to do just because I, or anyone else, does things a certain way. I don't know anymore about this stuff than any of you guys. Matter of fact, many of you probably know quite a bit more. [/QUOTE]
