Can you play a 3.5 game with only 3.0 books? No. There are so many changes you have to have the 3.5 material available to you in order to play.I know i can integrate this material. I know it is relatively easy to do, i have been doing it with various products for over 19 years now. However, it is my opinion that the changes were not done in a targeted fashion, or even for a better game. It was done to resell the same product to the same consumer. Obviously you would rather call me an avid 3.5 hater. If you would read my post(s) with a less biased view point you would notice I never write that 3.5 sucks or that it is a bad thing to buy. I write that I will not buy it. I write why I will not buy it. Do I think others should not buy 3.5? Yes, but only to show WOTC that the average gamer is not willing to buy a lie. However, I am in the minority about 3.5 being a lie. Fine, it is not the first time my standards have been different from the majority and it won't be the last.The only thing I said I hate is liars. WOTC has met my criteria for being a liar, 3.5, as a game, has not. 3.5 is what it is, and it is useable. I have even said I use the class re-writes from it. So I am obviously not a hater of 3.5, I am a hater of how it was presented and marketed. So I do the only meaningful thing I can do. I refuse to buy 3.5 when WOTC would receive profit from it. Simple as that.edit:Sorry, but when I write about such contentious things I refuse to use specific names. I trust those who read this to figure out if what I say is in response to anything you have written to me. And to realize I am not trying to insult you. If you think I have insulted you please wait a little while and then re-read it again, to see if you can correctly understand what i have written. If you still think i have insulted you quote it and ask me to rephrase it in a way you won't find it insulting. You should also be able to e-mail me, if you prefer.</blockquote>
