That's a lot for just "off the top" of your head! Thanks for the clarification, 3.5 it is then. I plan to check out the used book store at lunch today and will update you all if I find anything. Thanks again.
Thanks again for the responses. I just had a duh moment due to Steven's post. I remember seeing used copies of the books at one of the chain used book stores in my area for less than $20. So I'm going to go check that out asap, although it could be it was only 3.0 stuff, not 3.5. Speaking of which, is it possible to just get 3.0 materials and then download and print the errata? Or is 3.5 more than just 3.0 plus errata? Or at least if this would work for the core player's handbook then that would be great. Thanks,
Wow, I didn't expect this sort of response! I appreciate it. I am aware of the supply and demand factors for out of print stuff, but just didn't think the demand was that high. I figured most would be going 4e and the people that don't like it would already have 3.x You live you learn. In my younger days I'd just buy it all and be damned to the cost. But now I have a budget and want to get the most for what I spend. Or at least know that it'll keep getting played. For now I will take the advice of using the SRD. I didn't know it had 3.5 stuff, since I thought that was copyrighted. I thought it was just Pathfinder material. I only just played 4e this past Sunday and had read prior to that about it "being like WoW". I had an open mind, but was disillusioned quickly when our party didn't even get hit once due to all of the action point use, marking, etc. Plus I like the strategy of spell use when they're finite, rather than having "at will" and encounter based magic that replenishes. I can see the appeal, but it's just not for me. Again, thanks for the input!
I don't currently have any materials for anything. I haven't played since a brief stint with D&D 3.0. I am about to join a new D&D 3.5 game based in Eberron. The GM said that I could borrow his materials for the time being. My question is whether I could buy the Pathfinder core rulebook and use it to create characters for this 3.5 campaign. I know there are differences, but it's too expensive to buy 3.5 books on the Internet to my great surprise. I've read enough of Pathfinder to think it's a great continuation of 3.5 and would like to play it long term. I guess the other option is to ask the GM to use Pathfinder rules and adjust his 3.5 campaign upwards. I found the game through a local gaming group, so didn't want to ask this if I didn't have to. Thanks,
