    I mean c'mon having to buy all THREE book again for what? a litle changes for druid and monks? I did played the 3E for a years, now and when some rule are unclear are just plain useless and weird, I change 'em. And beside, it will even more expensive and longer untill the translate them in french. So far I've got 5 book (the core book + The manual of Plane and the Deities and demi gods) they are all in french (more expensive too) and they worth 250$ (CDN but still about 177 $ US ) what now? I would have to buy for another 100$ for "revised book"

    If you'd ask me 3.5 is just a trick to make more money...

    Yes, it is a way to make money. Wizards needs all the money it can get. But since you like money, you don't have to buy it. Ergo, you can play 3E. And consult 3.5 rules on the SRD. Of course, no one wins but you, but hey, you're the customer.

    I heard that you could print all the changes online, but I don't know where. At first, this didn't make since to me, but then I heard that it was to get more people in the game.....I don't know.

    I belive that would be here opengamingfoundation.org . But here are all things and not just changes.

    Ofcourse there is another option where you just get the new 3 books for free. But then we would be talking about warez and we shouldnt do that right? :p
    And even if you would get it like that its not good, unless you want to reprint the whole book. And even then it doesnt look fine.

    So, 3.5 will be compatible with 3E campaign settings and adventures? :hmm: I really don't want to buy all books again, just to get some minor changes to rules.

    More or less, Harkle. Unless the adventures include mummies, in which you'll probably have to de-advance them. Darn MM revisions. :mad:
