ZeronHitaro 07-05-06, 11:24 PM	Yet again I find myself at a quandry about which book to buy. I am a player and am interested in DMing (although have never done so before). Here are my top book interests currently. Complete Adventurer Manual of the Planes Fiend Folio Draconomicon Races of Destiny Which one should I go with? (Can only afford one until late September) The question is also not so much "which one is best?" as it is "Which one will give me more options as a DM?" Books I have and enjoy- PHB DMG MM MM2 MM3 Lords of Madness Complete Warrior XPH CP Magic of Incarnum

Of course, if you're going to be running a planar campaign, get a planes book. If you're going to be using a lot of dragons, or are focusing your campaign on them, then by all means by Draconomicon (it's also a great read). Personally, I don't like the Races-of series. They're not bad, but there are so many other books out there, I don't see myself ever deciding to buy it.

The Complete Adventurer is good, and full of useful feats and whatnot. But the long-range usefulness of the Draconomicon to a DM is quite high. Unless, of course, the campaign doesn't use many dragons. Dave
