3.0--->3.5 Reference

Post by fbmf »

Link!

A reference where rules that are now core in 3.5 came from in 3.0.

Thanks, Zherog.

Game On,

Yeah, but it says that the Complete Warrior version of Exotic Weapon Master is somehow a revised version of the Master of Chains. Umm.... no it isn't. The EWM from Complete Warrior is a short list of bonus feats that people who fight with Exotic Weapons can take - the Master of Chains is a prestige class that transforms you into Pin Head from Hellraiser. The two classes aren't even remotely similar on any level.

There's a lot of stuff like that. Like where it claims the S&F "Master Samurai" has been revised as the Complete Warrior "Samurai" base class. Hogwash. The CW Samurai is a watered down version of the OA Samurai, and the Master Samurai is a prestige class based on chopping peoples' heads off without even caring. There is no connection except the word "Samurai".

And then when things actually do get simply renamed in the new edition - like the Divination Domain -> Oracle Domain switch, the chart incorrectly says that it has not been revised at all.

In short, the list is interesting, but repeatedly and willfully inaccurate to the point of Complete Uselessness (which is where they are going to revise all of their gamebalance tirades and Fighter Nerfs for 3.5).
