You start your weekends awfully early... I wish I had your job.

I just picked my 3.5 D&D books and was wondering when you are converting this game to 3.5 Byrons_Ghost? I recall you mentioned something like that in the first posts.
My character wouldn't change much - if at all - but the druid and especially the monk got some major tweaks. Some minor changes to the paladin also, but nothing much there. Bladesinger would IMHO be perfectly convertable to 3.5 even if the splatbooks really aren't part of the new rules and some of the PrCs really won't do at all in 3.5.

I'll hopefully be getting a 3.5 PH in the near future (read: this weekend), so if we do decide to convert, I will be able to.

My 3.5 books are on order, I should have them sometime next week. I ordered them a bit late because I wanted to see how much I could get for my old ones on ebay. Anyhow, once I've had a chance to look over them we'll make the switch. In the meantime, those of you with them can look at what will affecting your characters.
In other news... my home internet has been down for a few days now, which is why updates have been scarce. It's supposed to be fixed on Monday, but in the meantime I just have to sort of post here and there whenever I get the chance at work. I apologize for the delays.

Some 3.5 notes from me...
Nothing much that would affect my char has changed about fighter and wizard. Intimidate is now a class skill for fighters. I'd like to swap some ranks from other skills (probably Climb, Jump, maybe Ride) I haven't yet used for Intimidate.
Perform is like knowledge and craft in 3.5, each skill (sing, dance, stringed instruments etc.) must be bought separately. Bladesinger requirements in 3.0 were Perform 3 ranks (dance, sing, +1 other). I think we could get rid of that 1 other and make it Perform(dance) 3 ranks, Perform(sing) 3 ranks. How does that sound to the DM? I'd have to make some minor changes to skills with this also.
I noticed, that endure elements is a different spell now and not very useful, IMO. Thought about swapping it with something else, but decided to keep it anyway, because it fits well in fire-elf concept.

For some reason, I thought Solonir was going for the spellsword class. Probably just old age...
Anyhow, Sing 3 and Dance 3 for the bladesinger are fine. Rework your skill points how you want. Like you say, I think that's about the only effect there is for you.
Argent: The changes to the paladin mean that it now advances a bit differently from the holy warrior. However, I think the holy warrior will work fine as it is now, so I don't see the need to retool too much on Gideon. When you do finally get the mount ability, I'll give you the option of having it around all the time (3rd ed) or summoning it once a day (3.5 ed). I don't care either way.
GW: There's some changes to the druid class, which I imagine you saw coming. Animal Empathy is a class ability instead of a skill now, so go ahead and redistribute those points (remember that the class ability is now based on Diplomacy, which is a class skill for druids). You'll get some new abilities like the spontaneous casting. If you could, go ahead and note your class abilities (wild shape, trackless step, etc) on your sheet just so I'll remember them when they come into play. We'll use the new animal companion rules for Apropos- although dire hawk isn't listed specifically, I think he'd fit into the lower-tier "special companion" brackets. So his special abilities, etc will be calculated as if you were a 1st-level druid.
Block: Monks have a few extra options now. Some of their lower-level abilities are treated as bonus feats. You could, if you desired, swap Improved Grapple for Stunning Fist, and Combat Reflexes for Deflect Arrows. Or you could keep them the way they are. The way monk attacks work has been changed: you have a BAB of +3 normally, or +2/+2 when using Flurry of Blows (which has been combined with the unarmed attack advancement). Quarterstaves are monk weapons now, you can take one if you like.
I think the AC bonus has been toned down, I calculate that your armor class should now be 16. But you get ki strike much earlier now, and can hit creatures who would normally require magical weapons. I don't think there are any changes to your skills.
That's about it for updates- I have all three core books, and I'm still going through them. I haven't gotten to much of the combat stuff yet, I plan to do that next. Everyone please take care of the updates and let me know if there are any questions.
Would it simplify things for people to make a Rogue's Gallery thread, or is this one ok for the PC sheets?

Thanks. However, I don't have any of the 3.5 books so I will go ahead and keep him the way he is with his abilities. That his, his monk abilities, not the other combat stuff you listed.
Also on Friday or Saturday I will be leaving for about a week or so. I'm going on a road trip to visit some family.
So when I'm gone i'd appreciate it if he was sent on an uneventful scouting/exploration mission for the time being until I get back.
