[QUOTE="thecasualoblivion, post: 4323293, member: 59096"] And thats where it gets different with me. As broken as 3.5E was, and as frustrated as I eventually became with it, I can't imagine playing it without: Complete Series Expanded Psionics Handbook Spell and Magic Item Compendiums Book of Nine Swords Tome of Magic(one of my circle just loves the Binder) Players Handbook II Fiendish Codex II(I can't remember our last game without a Hellbred character) Savage Species(We have a fur in our group) Races of X Eberron Campaign Setting(We just use some stuff from here, it isn't set in Eberron) If I want to play a straight laced core game, I'd rather play 2E or even 4E for that matter. 3.5E to me is going crazy with all the high powered stuff it encouraged you to do, and just run the game starting from 3rd-5th level and end it when it starts degenerating into rocket tag. If they power up the core PHB classes, for balance/fairness sake, I can't imagine not powering up a whole pile of classes from those books, and excluding Complete Psionic that I'm not terribly familiar with, thats 27 base classes I count from the above list, with uncounted Prestige Classes on top of that. For my purposes, that is a mess. Its easier just to stick with 3.5E D&D. [/QUOTE]
