I have more than a month to read up if there's anything needed. (Sorry if there's a topic like this already.)

EvilDeathBee 04-28-07, 08:56 PM	I've got the Campaign Guide, and am broke because of it. Is the Players Guide an absolute neccesity?
Dielzen 04-28-07, 09:23 PM	FRCS is a 3.0 book, Player's Guide is 3.5. However, only about 10% of the FRCS is redone in PGtF. All the revisions were for crunchy (numbers/stats/feats/PrCs/etc) items, not for lore/flavor/fluff. If you're looking for more info (beyond the FRCS), there's a recent topic that should help -- http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=831269
EvilDeathBee 04-29-07, 12:50 AM	Thanks for the help. Another question: I've got all 3.5 stuff. Is there a "Changes Book" like with the 3.0 to 3.5 conversions in the core set?
DM_Rennick 04-29-07, 04:18 PM	The Player's Guide to Faerun is the book that does conversions for 3.0 to 3.5
