[QUOTE="HellHound, post: 2342244, member: 3397"] Today was a great game session, but never before have I referenced so many rule books in a session that didn't involve levelling up or character creation. First off, I don't normally reference the DMG or MM at all in an average game... the PHB of course for spells. But today, I referenced 18 books during actual game play, plus three manuscripts that haven't yet been published: Monster Manual (Gnolls) Dungeon Master's Guide (NPC stats for level 10 Drow Wizard) Player's HandBook (Bunch of spell descriptions) Monster Manual 2 (two varieties of dinosaur) Fiend Folio (Monavic Deva) E.N. Treasure Troves - Figurines of Wondrous Power (Oak Turtle figurine) Necromancer's Legacy (for a feat) Player's Guide to Faerun (for a feat reference) Faiths & Pantheons (to look up Torm) Complete Divine (Spells) Three Arrows for the King (Archer class features) Dungeon 104 (Demonskar Legacy - converted to an underdark adventure) S&SS Advanced Player's Guide (Critical hit tables) d20 Future (weapon stats - characters previously finished the Barrier Peaks adventure and I keep fudging the weapon stats on the fly) Expanded Psionics Handbook (Power descriptions) Complete Arcane (Spells) Underdark (Spells, Wandering Monsters, Prestige Class abilities, enclosed spaces rules) Hyperconscious (Duncharath stats) I've never seen the table SO covered in books, especially books open to various pages for the convenience of players and myself during game play. (It has occasionally been so encumbered in the midst of my writing frenzies, but never during play) [/QUOTE]
