06-17-04, 01:27 AM Alright guys, I need some serious help here. Me and my friends recently began playing DND seriously and are playing under the 3.5 rules. Well, I want to get some of the accessory books to help make the game more diverse and exciting, but I don't want to buy 3.0 accessory books. Although I can usually tell just by looking inside any of the books for only a few pages if whether or not they have been updated to 3.5 rules or not, I would like to know from my list below what books are 3.0 or 3.5 (if they are available in both formats, let me know that also.)
Arms and Equipment Guide
Book of Exalted Deeds
Book of Vile Darkness
Complete Arcane
Complete Divine
Complete Warrior
Draconomicon
Fiend Folio
Frostburn (will it?)
Libris Mortis: The Book of Undead (will it?)
Monster Manual III (will it?)
Planar Handbook (will it?)
Races of Stone (will it?)
Races of the Wild (will it?)
Arms and Equipment Guide
Book of Exalted Deeds
Book of Vile Darkness
Complete Arcane
Complete Divine
Complete Warrior
Draconomicon
Fiend Folio
Savage Species
Unearthed Arcana
Frostburn (will it?)
Libris Mortis: The Book of Undead (will it be?)
Monster Manual III (will it be?)
Planar Handbook (will it be?)
Races of Stone (will it be?)
Races of the Wild (will it be?)
Thanks guys!

06-17-04, 04:29 AM The following books are 3.0E:

Arms and Equipment Guide
Book of Vile Darkness
Fiend Folio
Savage Species

The following books are 3.5E:

Book of Exalted Deeds
Complete Arcane
Complete Divine
Complete Warrior
Draconomicon
Frostburn
Monster Manual III
Planar Handbook
Races of Stone
Races of the Wild
Unearthed Arcana

The fiend folio is a somewhat special case since it was the last 3.0E book releases it already incorporates some minor rules changes from 3.5E IIRC. All books released after the Fiend Folio and all future releases are 3.5E.

06-17-04, 05:09 AM On top of what vanamir said: Monster Manual II, Fiend Folio, Deities and Demigods, Epic Level Handbook, and Manual of the Planes are 3.0, however you can update them to 3.5 by downloading the D&D v.3.5 Accessory Update Booklet (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/dnd/20030718a). Fiend Folio in particular has only some minor adjustments.

Among books you didn't mention:
Unapproachable East (a Forgotten Realm supplement) is tecnically 3.0 but is really 3.5 compliant.

Ghostwalk is updated to 3.5 in the Ghostwalk v.3.5 Update (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/we/20031225a) web enhancement.

Oriental Adventures is updated to 3.5 in Dragon Magazine #318, except for those feats and prestige classes that have already been revised in other 3.5 products.
