Some of our group thinks if its 3.0 you can't use it since its outdated but my argument was that wizards obviously aren't going to reprint every book just for a few updates (thats what the erratas are for. However how do things like feats, classes ect. that might have been missed in an errata and don't have 3.5 replacement fit into the game? Are they still playable or is it a DM's call?

This revision is compatible with existing products, and these products can be used with the revision with only minor adjustments. So make the necessary "minor adjustments" like changing Pick Pockets to Sleight of Hand, and you're good to go. Just remember that if there's a newer version of something with the same name, even if it's completely different except for the name, the newer version replaces the old feat/class/spell/whatever. One example: the 3.0 Expert Tactician feat in Song and Silence is nothing like the 3.5 Expert Tactician feat in Complete Adventurer, yet the 3.5 version officially replaces the older 3.0 feat.
dwarven_bezerker 06-15-07, 12:19 PM	what about feats like the different toughness' (dragon dwarven, giant, ect.) are they replaced by improved toughness since its a toughness feat and sword and fist and masters of wild became complete warrior?
