[QUOTE="Ran, post: 1101405, member: 9073"] I don't own the 3.5 books and am not sure if or when I will buy them, but they surely are not THAT compatible, as CRs have a very different approach with the new spacing rules, also spells are a lot different and not to count on the damage reduction and new weapon size rules, 3.5 was meant to, but is nowhere backward compatible, adventures set in 3.0 are not usable on it and those made for it are surely not that adequate for 3.0. As I see it every publisher should make their products usable by every D&D player, be it 3.0 or 3.5, that could be made with many ways, i can speak of two: [list=1] [*] make stats for every creature twice, once for 3.0 and once for 3.5, of course that for those monsters that are very different in power on those two they would have either levels or advancement in one of them, but at least it can be done and is gonna be used by more people that it would otherwise. [*] the monsters that are not adequate for the edition that is not the focus of the product could be changed for others that fit in its place, that would result in much more problems than the first choice, but would do the job too. [/list] I would not like to see any company, including WotC leaving 3.0 completely behind, many people play it and it should be respected and supported for it. [/QUOTE]
