I'm banging myself over the head about this when I should probably concentrate more on working on my campaign and less on being anal about the rules version. That's just the way I am.I really liked the idea of being able to carry around all of my 3.0 books and not have to worry about converting anything. If one of my players wants to run an Oriental Adventures Samurai in my Forgotten Realms game, BAM! I drop it in with no headache. If I want to run Necromancer Games Necropolis, BAM! I run it with no conversions....No headache. Then again, I might run into some headaches with balance issues, spell issues, character class issues, etc.....which have been worked out pretty well in 3.5.I am asking for the EN World Forum Consensus on the following: If I decide to go with the 3.5 Core Books, and carry around some of my 3.0 books - which category do the following books fall into:Category:1) Pain in the arse to convert to 3.5.2) Will require moderate conversion to work with 3.5.3) Will work with 3.5 with minor conversion.4) Not worth converting because it is invalidated by 3.5.5) Other (Please Explain)3.0 Book in Question:Monster Manual IIFiend FolioSavage SpeciesEpic Level HandbookBook of Vile DarknessDieties & DemigodsPsionics HandbookManual of the PlanesOriental AdventuresArms & Equipment GuideBook of ChallengesStronghold Builder's GuidebookForgotten Realms Campaign SettingI'll start with my take.Monster Manual II           3 (This is in the Conversion PDF)Fiend Folio                       3 (In the Conversion PDF)Savage Species               3 (Written with 3.5 'in mind')Epic Level Handbook       1 (Just a guess - haven't read it)  Book of Vile Darkness      2 (Gut feeling/No Conversion PDF)    Dieties & Demigods         2 (Gut feeling based on power level)Psionics Handbook          4 (Getting it's own 3.5 treatment)Manual of the Planes       5 (I have no idea)Oriental Adventures        1 (Heck, I don't want to try converting)Arms & Equipment Guide  4 (Too many face/weapon size changes)Book of Challenges          5 (I have no idea)Stronghold Builder's Guidebook     5 (I have no idea)Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting   2 (Gut feeling)Thanks for the help in weighing my options. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
