[QUOTE="NimrodvanHall, post: 2240276, member: 32082"] as Henry said haste and Harm were the major issues with 3.0 That an arcane Necromancer was nigh impossible to build as opposed to a divine necromancer, is probably a flavour issue, that is mainly an AD&D leftover i have. I myself have more issues with 3.5 than with 3.0 The main issues i have are that both the Druid and the Cleric in 3.5 are such melee power houses. Melee power houses who are frightingly effective spellcasters at the same time. I think the "real" combat classes (fighter, barbarian, ranger and Paladin) in 3.5 are a lot better worked out than in 3.5 than in 3.0. the Casting classes should in my opinion get a similair overhaul. with the wizard, sorcerer, cleric and druid, getting better difined roles, and statblock advancements. back on the origional topic. I think that at the end of this year, all books that will probably sell well for 3.5 have been published. we than have the core (phb, mm, dmg) the class books. (Complete series) the race books (with the forests and montains covered here) the DMG accesory the MM accesory the terain books (for hot, cold and soaking wet) the monster books (Draconomicin, LiberMortis, Lords of madness) the Psionics book The only thing i miss is a mass combat book, but WotC stated that they wont do that and a new Epic book. Epic rules are scattred over the DMG, and Complete books now. All the important stuff is out now. And while campeign settings are Always nice, i really do not belive that Forgottenrealms, Ebberon, of whatever new setting can generate enough sales for WotC to generate enough income. When one sees that in December WotC publishes the [url="http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=products/dndacc/885987200"][color=#800080]Spell Compendium[/color][/url]AccessoryDungeons & DragonsMatthew Sernett, Jeff Grubb, Mike McArtor12/2005 one can see that they are already planning to sell Compilations of their own books. I might be a pessimist, but i think 3.5 has reached the end of its lifespan. p.s. my first post here ever! p.p.s. i hope 4e wont come before 2008 [/QUOTE]
