d20 3.0 SRD Complete?

[Reynard]

I was wondring if anyone had a link to a complete d20 SRD (3.0 version) in rtf format for download, preferrably as a single zip?

Thanks.

as a point of personal interest and curio, could someone explain the differences between 3.0 and 3.5? i joined the game late directly from 2e and never really realized there was a difference until a few years ago.

The system remained largely the same (same classes, same combat system, etc.) with some minor variations and changes based upon player feedback. In fact, at a glance- It would be hard to tell the two systems apart, but differences would become recognizable in playing.

If you're really curious- a list of changes (sort of) can be found here

in the 'D&D v.3.5 Accessory Update booklet'

There were some minor rule changes (or tweaks) all throughout the books. You'd have to almost read completely through both books side by side to pick out the changes. Most of the changes I noticed are with classes, the purpose being to balance them better against eachother, but most of the changes are subtle and probably wouldn't jump out at you unless you compared a 3.0 book to a 3.5 book.

When the 3.5 first came out, I started going through each book to highlight the changes. I ran out of motivation about half-way through the Feats chapter. Most of the changes really are very small and subtle.

Thanks, though I found this. i was hoping for an archived al-in-one zip file.

The SRD to use (IMO) is here:
http://www.d20srd.org/

I like the above SRD as it's layout and ease of use make it ideal for me.

Here is an all-in-one 3.0 ZIP file.

There were lots of changes from 3.0->3.5. One of the biggest is wholescale changes to lots and lots of spells; whereas there was a lot of continuity in spell descriptions between 1E-2E-3E, 3.5 came in and changed some 445 spells at last count.

Other bullet points here as part of a critique of 3.5: http://www.superdan.net/down3-5.html

The SRD to use (IMO) is here:
The Hypertext d20 SRD (v3.5 d20 System Reference Document) :: d20srd.org

Well, perhaps if one wasn't specifically looking for a 3E SRD, rather than a 3.5 SRD

I realize it's not rtf format, but over on Zombler he's got the 3.0 SRD online, and you can get the html version for download as well.

Zombler - Content

Just load up the "index" page of the downloaded html version, and you've got a nice and pretty copy of the online 3.0 SRD.

He does note that he doesn't have the psionics done up, but it's still a pretty nice resource.
