Message: <blockquote data-quote="delericho" data-source="post: 3313947" data-attributes="member: 22424">Ask the DM if I can use it, but prepared for him to say "no".(As an aside, I would strongly advise DMs to not allow anything into their campaign that is from a book they don't personally own.)I have an 'approved sources' list that I generate before the campaign. After the start of the campaign, that list doesn't change. So, until the next time I'm starting a campaign, that book sits on the shelf, or is perhaps loaned to interested players.In the specific case of the "Complete" books, these are added to use in 'sets'. So, Complete Mage and Complete Scoundrel won't be added to my game until Complete Champion and Complete Warrior II are available. In fact, I won't purchase any of those books until I can get all four.Retire the character and switch. Or just stick with the Cleric. It would depend on how much fun I'm having with the Cleric, and how strong a concept for the Swashbuckler/Rogue I have, and how the DM feels about me switching. (I always build characters from concept -> stats, so the publication of a new feat, no matter how sweet, is unlikely to make me want to generate a new character just to use it.)If I'm already playing a Swashbuckler/Rogue, and the DM has introduced Complete Scoundrel to the game, I may well ask to ret-con my character to have that feat.</blockquote>
