[QUOTE="Vocenoctum, post: 1018318, member: 2477"] My DMs word as I was discussing converting my paladin bard; "Don't worry about converting Ego to 3.5. Vincent just put a lot of gold and XP into make a wand of haste, I'm not going to make it completely useless by suddenly springing 3.5 on everybody. If you find something in 3.5 you like, great, maybe we'll use it, but they're nothing more than new splatbooks to me." Blah. Now I'll have no idea what rules are what. The Sunday DM already said he won't be converting for a while if at all and probably won't even get the books until late this year. The problem: (besides 3.5 just being neater) there's plenty of clarification in places. Grappling seems a lot better to me. If I want to Sunder, does this mean we have to discuss the rule and waste time? If the DM does X which is unclear in 3.0, 3.5 is not really a valid "here's the explanation." And yes, this matters. The Sunday DM really isn't very clear on placement and AoO's in general. The Thursday DM just seemed to dislike 3.5 long before it came out. (favorite word: nerf... ::sigh::) I disagree with the whole "draw houserules from 3.5e for your 3.0 game" it just makes things worse. IMO. Go 3.5 all the way, house rule some stuff if you want, but start with a basis in the clearer rules. (For instance, I'll be changing buff spells to 10 min per level. I'll bet none of the 3.0 games will reduce it though, not wanting to "nerf" it for some of the players.) ARGH! I want my 3.5! (even if gnomes aren't bards IMG :) [/QUOTE]
