[QUOTE="GuardianLurker, post: 2821011, member: 786"] The class compendium, probably not - I find it helpful to be able to completely separate the alt base classes by subject, though some of the divisions I find a little wonky (I'd swap Hexblade and Warmage, for instance). Item compendium, not so much; the DMG already drowns me in Magic Items. OTOH, I can understand the utility. A feat compendium most definitely. And since it was lost in the crash, I'll repeat what I'd consider ideal: [list] [*]A list of the feats up FRONT. Not in back, as in the spell compendium. [*]Separation of the feats into separate chapters by type; including a chapter dedicated to Fighter Bonus (i.e. Combat) feats, which should really be a separate feat type anyway. [*]A complete updating of the Epic Feats to 3.0 (and a indication of which ones have been made non-epic) [*]An in-line listing of the source of each feat. [*]A source-to-feat index (not just a listing of sources, but actual source-feat-pg # info). [*]Inclusion of all the monster feats as well. [/list] Another compendium that'd be really nice is an official template compilation. Item compenium would really be better as a revised Arms & Equipment (which I'm not opposed to), and maybe with some optional expanded Masterwork rules (like GR's Black Company's). Races - I'm not really interested in these at all; besides they've already got the Races Of splats. [/QUOTE]
