[QUOTE="Zappo, post: 1489717, member: 633"] Uh... none really. I DM from a networked laptop and I was using Sovelior's SRD plus my own adventure notes which include everything I need beyond the SRD (including full monster stats, text for any non-SRD ability, reminders for seldom-used rules, etc). I mostly only use the books while preparing the adventure. On top of that, last session was a no-combat one. I used no book at all. My players have a similar philosophy of minimizing the amount of books that are required during the actual game. They'll either remember or write on their sheets what they need. I think they only used the PHB to check a few spells, as usual. It makes the game faster. I am honestly surprised by the amount of books that people are using in game. I don't demand everyone to know the exact wording of each ability of their PrC, but situations requiring [i]that[/i] aren't much common. Maybe I am misunderstanding the question - am I supposed to list all the books that have contributed to the session? Like, if a PC has a PrC I should list the source even if the book stayed on the shelf? [/QUOTE]
