I have the 3.5 books. I was skeptical of the changes at first, but after seeing them in their entiretly, they are very much worth the money you will pay for them. They clarify and change quite a few things to make the game that much more fun for all.
They really have made it more fun for just about every class with little changes that affect certain aspects of the game. For example, baatezu and tanar'ri have lower energy resistance because they changed it to per attack. This means that they will still be resistant to energy attacks from energy weapons, but the mage who is dropping an evocation direct damage attack will hit for more damage. Before it was as if the only way to go was sonic attacks, but now you can actually throw an effective cold or acid attack against such creatures.
There are lots of little changes like this throughout the books. The Monster Manual is awsome. The new Holy Avenger for Paladins is much, much more attractive. All in all, just a great update. Very well done. I am impressed. My only hope now is that Andy Collins gets to revise the Epic Level Handbook, and I would especially like him to revise the Epic Spell system. It needs revision.
