Message: <blockquote data-quote="VHawkwinter" data-source="post: 9784444" data-attributes="member: 7040136">PHB3.0 + PHB3.5 + DMG3.0 + Monsters of Faerun + MM1(3.0)  + FRCS + PGFR + Magic of Faerun + Races of Faerun + one relevant FR locational book + monster book if you're playing as a monster that fits the campaign premise (whatever the GM okays) if applicable - played pretty nicely for character options, IMO. Use the UA variant rule where PrCs are all run by an organisation and you need a teacher and they don't just have stat prereqs - but instead make you take and pass a test ingame. Add in Tome and Blood and the Arms & Equipment guide, and you're set - (unless you want to expand the gameplay loop from the usual kill and loot cycle, then add in Mongoose Strongholds and Dynasties for mass combat or construction projects, or Seas of Blood for seafaring and ship combat, or Wilds & Wildscape for wilderness hazards, or City Works + CityScape for urban faction ang guildplay, or Dynasties and Demagogues for political maneuvering, or Crime and Punishment for trials and criminal investigations; or Mongoose Ultimate Games Designer's Companion for a big grabbag of gameplay expansion (probably the first expansion book I'd recommend in that it's useful for all campaigns) ;P).I think that was a good time, but it's very different from the "All WotC content is fair game Character Optimisation is the whole point" gameplay I see people doing who showed up in late 3.5 or got into it after the edition ended.And you're absolutely right, 3e is a very different game depending on which and how many expansion books you add in.</blockquote>
