D&D 3E/3.5 Is Races of Faerun 3.5?

Is the book "Races of Faerun" writtn for 3.5 D&D, or was it written using 3.0?

Is there anything other than "The Player's Guide to Faerun" that is fully 3.5 and deals with the Forgotten Realms?

I think most of the information in Races of Faerun should work with 3.5 though I don't think it published under 3.5.

I know Underdark is 3.5 and Unapprochable East is 3.5 compliant even though it was was out just before 3.5 came out.

RoF is pretty rules-light, although PGtF provides a comprehensive rework of the region system and associated feats, which are a substantial part of RoF's mechanics.

UE is supposedly 3.5 compliant, with one big exception: The durthan doesn't match up with the 3.5 hathran presented in PGtF.
 

Races of Faerun was made 3.5-compatible, the Lycanthropes in RoF were suppose to be 3.5 up-to-date (a bit of a preview actually). Everything else in RoF was to be passable, with no noticeable problems for the coming 3.5, in theory at least. In practice I haven't noticed any blurbs except for the Draw from the Land feat which was addressed in the Player's Guide side-bar.

Serpent Kingdoms has also recently come out, obviously, is also 3.5. Everyone else already got the other two 3.5 FR books.
 

The only guaranteed-3.5 FR products so far, to the best of my meager knowledge, woudl be the Player's Guide, and the recently-released Serpent Kingdoms.

I think they really SHOULD put a "3.5" mark SOMewhere on the new books, to keep people form having to ask these same general questions ("is ______ 3.0 or 3.5"), over and over and over and over and over and over and ... well, you get the picture. ^_^

Don't be silly. Then the people playing 3.0 wouldn't buy 3.5 books - and vice versa. :\

I am absolutely sure that the lack of marking is a calculated attempt to "trick" the less informed into buying supplements the might otherwise not have bought.
