#1 Thunaer Jul 02, 2015 4:25:51	Was just curious if anyone trie to modify any of the 2nd edition complete books for use in the 5th edition
#2 Ath-kethin Jul 02, 2015 5:52:32	I think it would work, but I also think that for the most part it's not necessary. Was there a specific kit you were looking to use? Most of the effects are flavor and maybe swapping around some skill proficiencies. Even major changes (stuff from the Complete Sha'ir's handbook, for example, which changes the way spells and magic work) would still port pretty easily. You could even use Complete Psionics if you wanted, you would just need to make up a bunch of new skills.
#3 Thunaer Jul 02, 2015 8:03:25	I was actually wonderign if anyone used the kits for flavor/ options and how it worked for them.

Some of the stuff I discovered in Complete XYZ books.
