[QUOTE="Olgar Shiverstone, post: 969117, member: 5868"] Added a section 0, Frequently Asked Questions, just 'cause it seems like it needs it. 0. Frequently Asked Questions a. When will 3.5 be available? A: The current official street date is 18 July. b. What books are being updated? A: The Player's Handbook, Dungeon Master's Guide, and Monster Manual. A revised Psionics Handbook is scheduled for release in 2004, as well as a Forgotten Realms Player's Gudie, which will update the FRCS to 3.5. c. Are any of the other books being updated (splatbooks, MotP etc)? A: Not at this time, though updated versions of information in those books may eventually be released in later products. d. Do we have to pay full price for the revised books if we have the originals? A. Yes and no. If you want the books you have to purchase them. The System Reference Document will also be updated, however, which will allow you to freely review the revisions if you want a preview before purchasing the books. e. Will the SRD be updated to 3.5, and when? A. Yes. The 3.5 SRD will be posted at about the same time the revised rulebooks are released. f. How easy will it be to convert from 3.0 to 3.5? A. Not hard according to WOTC R&D. WOTC will release a free document designed to assist in conversion at about the time the rulebooks are released. g. Will there be any electronics support? A. Code Monkey Publishing will be producing a 3.5 rules data set for E-Tools that will be available for $5. Current release date for this data set is unknown. h. Will the new rulebooks contain errors like the first 3.0 books? A. There will undoubtably be some errors in the rulebooks (see below for already identified errata). Hopefully there will be significantly fewer errors than in the 3.0 books. i. Has rule xxx changed? A. See the list of compiled changes below. If it's not on the list, it either (1) hasn't changed, or (2) has changed and WOTC R&D hasn't admitted to it yet, or (3) has changed, and has been confirmed, but hasn't made it into this thread yet. j. Is this information official? Do you have any affiliation with WOTC? A. No, and no. This is a fan compiled list developed from information released in WOTC products and by its employees. Nothing is truly official until you see it in print in the new rulebooks. [/QUOTE]
