Monster Gift Set

[Captain Howdy]

I know this has been discussed before, but I can't find an answer anywhere. I want to know if all the books in this gift set are updated to 3.5.

Is there any word on this?

No they are not. The books are simply repackaged in a case - minus any updating. I don't have an exact quote on that, but it has been discussed previously (and responded to by people who bought or looked at the printing info).

As far as I was aware the are the exact same books, just sold together rather than separately.

They are exactly the same books

Not even second printings. Just packaged together, so you can qualify for the $10 off $30 coupon from buy.com.

Not even second printings.

Aren't they softcover? I thought I read that somewhere.

Not as far as I'm aware. Although I have been wrong many times before!

Not softcover.

Same deal as Races slipcase. Take existing product and slap it into a slipcase.

Shame as I would've bought a 3.5 MMII and a Fiend Folio 3.5 that updated the stats and CR's to account for the 'new' reality of demons and devils strengths.
