You can use 3.5 products (i.e. everything released from now until 3.75, or 4.0, or whatever), but everything single one will need converting.  Just looking through the list of changes on another thread and the majority appear to be in Player's Handbook, which is without doubt the most referred to of the 3 books. Most of the lesser changes and new material goes into the other two books. This all adds up to mean that characters created with 3.5 are not going to be easy to convert to 3.0, and almost all are going to require conversion.  Of course, none of this matters to me as I won't be buying 3.5 and rarely buy published adventures or Dungeon magazine, but I imagine it will annoy some people.This does effect me, however, in that I like to create new material for D&D and now anything I create won't be as much value because it will 3.0 and therefore now out of date and require conversion before it can be used with the new 3.5 edition. I imagine this is the same problem software developers have with windows, having to keep updating their programs to match the new releases by Microsoft.Anyway that is my main concern, WotC can make as much money as it likes, but when it interferes with the way I enjoy my chosen hobby I have a right to get mad.</blockquote>
