DMs, What Are Your Top 3 Favorite Non-Core Books?

Manual of the Planes
Book of Vile Darkness
Tome of Horrors

The Manual of the Planes and... uh, hmmm... what else.... some of the content in the Epic Level Handbook and Savage Species I guess would be my next pics. I've just bought the Fiend Folio though and after a cursory look I'm quite liking it as well.

That said, by the sound of it I could easily see the Mini's Handbook and the Complete Warrior make this list by the end of the year.


Cheers,

A'koss.

Manual of the Planes
Monsternomicon
Planescape setting (I know it's 2e but it's a pretty important thing for Planescape campaigns )

3? Only 3? But, but,... alright.

Defining "core" as anything in the SRD, and keeping it focused on 3e:

Book of Hallowed Might, Malhavoc
Legions of Hell/Armies of the Abyss, Green Ronin
All of the various Counter Collections, Fiery Dragon

These are just about the only supplements I have that I'm using *everything* from.

Manual of the Planes, WotC
Oathbound, Bastion
Traps & Treacheries

Three very strong runner-ups. MotP is perhaps the best GM's supplement from 3e, even if I did throw out most of its material because it dealt with the standard 3e cosmology. Oathbound's probably going to have some of it's prestige classes and races dropped, but it's mostly just a snap-in. As for T&T, I dropped 1 or 2 of the PrCs, but it's full of all kinds of PC-killing goodness.
