Ankh-Morpork Guard clearly said RPGA.In the RPGA run Living Greyhawk that is exactly the case.  While not necessarily "revise it", it needs to be republished in currently acceptable books. In time, 3.0 accessories are phased out of legal use by the RPGA.  If a PrC is not republished in a 3.5 product that PrC is removed from campaign play.Part of the philosophy behind this is that the RPGA doesn't wish to require judges, authors and administrator volunteers to own every single product that comes out.  There are other legitimate reason as well.Again, WotC does not equal RPGA.  What WotC publishes, the RPGA picks and chooses what to use.  By default, the three core books are always "legal".  As accessories are published, the RPGA has chosen to allow some of those books for access in RPGA-run campaigns. It started out slowly with including Sword and Fist, then Defenders of the Faith, then on down the line with all five class builder books.  Also for author reference was added the Manual of the Planes, Arms and Equipment, Savage Species, and other books.  Then the rules changed with the 3.5 revision. WotC started republishing some old PrCs in the new Complete series, along with new PrCs, but only those in need of revision. The RPGA saw that things would get rapidly out of hand with trying to coordinate PrCs from all of the out-of-circulation prodcuts (that also contained newly out-of-date PrCs) with all the new products... so the RPGA just cut their loses rather than demand its volunteers keep up with the growing chaos.RPGA Players who grabbed classes outside the core rulebooks now have their characters in limbo if WotC doesn't republish those PrCs.  Myself, I have a character who is looking at needing revising (or retiring) as his PrC doesn't look to be on any schedule for updated republishing... he has levels in Ghostwalker. *shrug*  But until the day all Complete books are published, the five builder books are still legal... and so is my character.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Regards,Eric Anondson</blockquote>
