[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 2844760, member: 2525"] I recently received about $75 in Amazon gift certificates, and need to decide which 3.5 D&D books I will buy with it. I am primarily a player, playing a cleric in RTEE, a wizard in Spider Queen, a fighter in Kalamar, and an Akashic in a Monte Cook Arcana Evolved setting in a fourth. I also sometimes a DM (though not much lately) and do consider books that would help me as a DM. The game I DM is a bit like Harry Potter, with players being students faced with a lot of traps, riddles, mysteries, and a variety of unusual locations through a series of gates, if that helps any. Player books that might help me develop my characters, add interesting options, inspire me in a new direction, and things like that are generally more useful right now than DM-oriented books, but I will consider the later. I have: Core books, Complete books, Races of books (Destiny, Wild, Stone, Dragon), PHB II, DMG II, many FR books (campaign setting, magic of, player's guide to, lords of darkness, faiths and pantheons), Unearthed Arcana, Libris Mortis, Spell compendium, and some others. I am trying to chose what to buy from this list: Eberron campaign setting (or any other Eberron book people like), Locations books (Frostburn, Sandstorm, Stormwrack), Psionics books (Psionic Handbook, Expanded Psonic Handbook, Complete Psionic), Planar books (Planar Handbook, Manual of the Planes), Miniatures Handbook, Some of the creature-type books (Draconomicon, Lords of Madness), Magic of Incarnum, Tomes (Tome of Battle, Tome of Magic), Weapons of Legacy, Heros of Battle, Heros of Horror, Monster Books (MM II, MM III, MM IV, Fied Folio), Savage Species, Forgotten Realms: Underdark (and some of the other newer FR books might be interesting). I'd like some opinions from people on which book(s) they think are the "best" from this bunch (given what I told you about my interests). Additional books people like, that are not on this list, are also welcome. Thanks in advance, and I hope that isn't too open a question... [/QUOTE]
