[QUOTE="Fast Learner, post: 987705, member: 649"] It matters if they're not core because if someone is complaining that [b]the rules[/b] are "broken" but is using a variety of rules from a variety of sources the complaint becomes meaningless: there's no such thing as [b]the rules[/b] anymore. Here's a new feat. It's called "Slay Dragon" and has no prerequisites. Any dragon who comes within 1000 miles of someone with the Slay Dragon feat instantly dies, no save, no magic resistance. Nothing -- not even the power of the gods -- can stop this effect. There's a rule. It's even published online! Now are [b]the rules[/b] broken? ---- On conversion: If a DM is going to have characters convert from 3.0 to 3.5 he [i]absolutely[/i] should allow the players to recreate their characters from scratch. What, did my character just suddenly forget some things, magically have new skills, and did all of the magic in the world suddenly warp? What a rip off. Would Player A have trained himself in that feat if it knew what it does now? No? Then why would he have selected it? Would Player B have trained in those classes if he knew how poorly they work together now, changing the very nature of who he is? No? Then why would he have done it? Would Player C have studied and copied those spells if they were useless to him now? No? Puh-lease, why should he be stuck with the selection? Oh, and btw, I'm a DM. [/QUOTE]
