[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 1457003, member: 1465"] A few weeks ago we started our first 3.5 campaign, with me being the DM. My general opinion about the revision is that it has improved the game by (1) making characters slightly more versatile, (2) bringing consistency in how monsters are designed and (3) solving some specific spell problems. Beside the fact that the ruleset as a whole is "more beautiful", the game itself is absolutely not better or worse than before. Some of my players didn't even notice the difference - the ones that used not to know the rules well even before :p . Some other players have been irritated to find out that they THOUGHT how a thing worked and found themselves that now it is different; this has brought up some occasional compaint and request to redo a character choice, which I frankly couldn't refuse. One consequence is that they want the next campaign we will start in another month to be 3.0 again. If I had to recommend someone who is just starting playing 3rd edition I would suggest to start from 3.5, but if everyone is well used to 3.0 I don't think it's a good idea unless ALL of you have already read 3.5 and are able to keep in mind what's different.
