The Sigil
Mr. 3000 (Words per post)
I am trying to compile a list of d20 resources for each class. I don't want you to rank resources as being better/worse than others - I'm just looking to get a comprehensive list. I'll start some of these off myself. Supplements that help multiple classes should be listed in multiple locations (e.g., Masters of the Wild, below).
I am going to slightly re-organize these lists; resources will be listed alphabetically in each category. I will be creating a separate category for "general spells/magic" books that focus on magic (not arcane classes, but magic in general such as PrCs and spells only) in general and not on a specific class - though if a resource focuses on some classes to the total exclusion of others, I will note this (examples would be Green Ronin's Pocket Encyclopedias - obviously, the Arcane Encyclopedia, while it contains spells for Divine spellcasters as well, essentially excludes Divine Spellcasters and is not a suitable resource for them - and vice versa for the Divine Encyclopedia and Arcane Spellcasters). This is 100% a judgement call on my part - essentially, think of this is a "meta-category" that encompasses all spellcasting classes but keeps the redundancy down. I have placed an asterisk (*) by those items which I do not own - so I'm going by the word of the community on those for categorization - you can take up other categorizations with me, of course. ;-)
Also, I will not be adding items to this list until they are officially "on the street" - so no Quintessential Bard, Divine Domains, etc. just yet - don't want people frustrated if they can't find something on the list here. ;-)
