[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 8829800, member: 29398"] None. If the book didn't exist at the start of the campaign it by default doesn't enter into that campaign. You're still using the book as it was last Saturday and will be for the remainder of this campaign. That said, if I or a player see something cool in the new book that thing might find a way into the ongoing campaign once an appropriate in-fiction rationale can be made for it. Back in 1e when Unearthed Arcana came out, we picked and chose what parts of it to include. In-fiction, there was an explosion of new spells across the world's MU guilds as books of previously-unknown or forgotten spells came to light; and from acorss the sea came these funny Cavalier things we'd never heard of. But never was there any assumption that the book would be adopted wholesale, and it never was. Same holds true here [/QUOTE]
