[QUOTE="Morik, post: 1006312, member: 4235"] In Europe the 3.5 edition just came out (some days ago I believe). Well... to be honest... I will not buy the books. The changes are minor IMO. Yeah it's good on one side but bad on the other, too. While it is good that it is compatible and you do not have to learn thousand new rules the changes are not enough for me to spend another 90$ for all three books. So far the changes I found does not push me to buy the new books. I'm happy enough with the old ones. Same changes found my interest and I can easily take them as good advices to implement them in the 3.0 rules. I know that a company have to make money but that not justify "robbery" of the customer. I saw that they implemented prestige classes from other 3.0 books in the new DMG (like the RED WIZZARD). I have the RED WIZZARD class already because I bought the FR Campaign book. If I would be new to DND I would recommend to buy 3.5 for sure but for someone who have already spent "Much" of his money for the three 3.0 books it's really not nessescary to make the switch. The only book that took my interest was the MM 3.5 (because of the listing of the base attack and the grapple stats). But to pay 30$ just for that, I dunno... Maybe if the prices would be a bit lower... You have to admitt they are really HIGH I know that is only my point of view and noone will ever force me to buy the products. I'm just dissapointed that they anounced the 3.5 as something worthwile for the DND Customers in whole. IMO the 3.5 is only really useful for new players who doesn't own the 3.0 books already.
