[QUOTE="Yair, post: 3183887, member: 10913"] I wouid actually recommend [i]against[/i] these two. I found De&De little more than a monster book for deities, and unless that's something you'd want I suggest not picking it up. A&EG I found exceedingly boring, and not at all useful. (It's also 3e IIRC.) You'll do just fine with the various Complete's additions. If you want still more armaments, I'd prefer the 3rd party Arms & Armor 3.5 that's sometimes unbalanced but at least is fun, or the From Flint to Steel mentioned above. Different tastes, I guess. Psionics has a different feel to it, certainly, which may clash with your game. I'd recommend browsing the psionic section of [url]www.d20srd.org[/url] to see the kind of stuff. (Essentially, it's the whole Expanded Psionics Handbook for free, but less beautiful, less well-bound, and missing a few tidbits.) Personally, however, I find that psionics are not a problem in a setting that accepts monks... incorporating them into a ready-made campaign might require more work, however. While I generally agree that much 3rd party stuff is of poor quality, there are some things that are of outstanding quality. I tried to recommend only products that seem to be well recognized as having a quality on par with or exceeding WotC's. (And even WotC has duds, like De&De or A&EG). [/QUOTE]
