There are so many people here that know every possible class, skill and feat. I just wonder how you gained access to all this information. Did you buy all those books? Download them as .pdf files and print them all off? Or are you all part of some coven that owns a complete communal library of every 3rd edition D&D publications to date? I only own 4 books. The PHB, DMG, MM and SpC. All those suppliments are so expensive, how can you justify spending hundreds or thousands of dollars on them all!? :eek:

I've bought quite a few, but there are a lot I don't have as well. And, geek that I am, there's a lot of stuff that I no longer need to look up. We all know that fighters get feats at 1,2,4,6,8,... After a while, you'll know more, especially if you judge a lot, and have to read through the appendices in the back of the mod every time.

At that point, spending $20-30 on a book isn't that bad of an expense. One of the aspects of LG I really like though is unless I have good access to a feat/magic item/etc..., I don't need a huge number of books. I bought PHBII/Complete Mage/Scoundrel when the LGCS came out. I probably didn't really need either Complete Mage/Scoundrel though, but people often ask me for help and they're common enough that I should know what I'm talking about. Tome of Battle? Big book of Swords? Modules except for ADPs? Dragon Magazine? Dungeon Magazine? Faerun books? Books not in LG? Nope.
