Does anyone still play 3.0e?
- Thread starter shadow
- Start date
Most of our games are 3.5, however we are still running a 3.0 game (doing the adventure path series [forge of fury, speaker in dreams,etc]) mainly because all of character made certain choices which when converted would seroiusly weaken our characters without a rebuild (we had a dwarf fighter/rogue with improved critical: scimitar and a keen scimitar, my character is a half-orc cleric who actually had some points left over if you use the standard 25 point stat buy, so I am dependant on the 1/hour per level buffs), however the GM has adjusted a couple of the spells (heal, harm and blade barrier) to 3.5 and used clarifications from 3.5 rules on the various Bigby's hand spells (which I get as domain spells) ie them being force effects.
Overall I really like 3.5, when I heard about some of the changes I was very dubious about them (particularly the DR vs Materials) however when I actually played them, the game is much better. Demons and Devils are not now the pushover/XP cow they used to be in 3.0. The only thing I'm not keen on is the rule for incorrectly balanced weapons based on size, I don't think the rule is wrong, but it does mean that halfling/gnomes get a bit stuffed, when it comes to handing out magic items (Hmmm...next time I play a small character magic user, I have to invent a spell which permanently changes the size/balance of weapons).

We play 3.0 and 3.5 characters, because not everyone has a new PHB, or the 3.5 SRD, and when looking up some spells they are 3.0, because most of the PHBs are still 3.0
We also do not use the weapon sizes. a small Longsword is just like a Shortsword
My bard is 3.5, no spell failure in light armor.

Still are
My group that I play in is still playing 3.0 as is, with no plans to change at all. No interest really.
Heck. The group that I run is still 1E ADnD.

~raises hand~ Right here, dude.
We still play 3.0. I own the 3.5 Players Handbook, but that's just because RPGA Living Greyhawk changed to 3.5.

I have been using 3.5 for about 7 months now, and the change went very smoothly. Ended a 3.0 campaign, took a look at the 3.5 books and started the campaign in 3.5.
I also have a bunch of 3.0 books in my shelf, but those are resources books that contain hardly any game mechanical details, so they haven't changed at all. Besides S&SS is republishing old PrC's and other stuff that has become dated in their new books, so I get the updates alongside the new and improved 3.5 books.
