Psion, you and I haven't always agreed in other threads about the changes in 3.5, but this I would heartily endorse. D&D3.5, just like 3.0, is a toolbox. We should use the tools that will help frame our campaigns, and not the ones that we don't. For myself, I am taking the opportunity of the launch of 3.5 (and AU) to rework some aspects of my Shattered World campaign that I've found didn't play out like I wanted them to. In that sense, yes, I am treating D&D3.5 as simply a large new rules supplement.
