3.0 books' relevance/update? [Archive] - Wizards Community

I was wondering if anyone could tell me if it's still fair to use the 3rd edition accessories with a 3.5 campaign. I know the final judgement is up to the DM, but have any updates been done to, say, Masters of the Wild? I know that there were a few articles on the Wizards site that updated some of the Psionics Handbook stuff to 3.5 rules.

Which feats/spells/classes in the Masters of the Wild are plug and play ready in 3.5 and which ones need adjustments?

Thanks for the help.

Realistically, there's no real reason you can't just run the 3.0 stuff as-is. It is completely compatible with the revision (though converting from 3.5 back to 3.0 is a bit tougher).

I play in a 3.5 game and i'm about to take the Deepwood sniper PrC.

I wish they would have updated deepwood sniper in the complete warrior or complete adventurer.

Just go to the Update (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/dnd/20030718a) section and convert your existing books.

And there's always there errata (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/er/20040125a) section as well.

All you have to do is replace Wilderness Lore with Survival and viola. ;)
