Okay, so I'm trying to catalog all my game material, and for some reason, I decided to list edition versions for the D&D stuff. So, which ones are 3.5, and which are 3.0?

Please, if you don't mind. I tried to Google this info, but either my search-fu isn't up to the task, or it's hidden deeper than I felt like looking... |

Races is like half and half actually, if I recall right. It was a change over book that was a middle ground between the two rule changes, so it has some of each. |
For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

As for core material,
3.5 All "Complete XXX" books. (Warrior, Adventurer, etc...) All "Environment books" (Sandstorm, Frostburn, etc...) All "Races of..." books. (Stone, Wild, etc...) Book of Exalted Deeds Cityscape Dungeon Scape Draconomicon Dragon Magic Dungeon Masters Guide II Expanded Psionics Handbook Libris Mortis Lords of Madness Magic Item Compendium Magic of Incarnum Monster Manual 3 & 4 Planar Handbook Players Handbook II Spell Compendium Tome of Battle, Book of Nine Swords Tome of Magic: Pact, Shadow, and Truename Magic Weapons of Legacy
3.0 All soft cover class books (Defenders of Faith, Sword and fist, etc..) Book of Challenges Book of Vile Darkness Deities and Demigods Epic Levels Handbook Fiend Folio Herobuilders Guide Manual of the Planes Miniatures Handbook Monster Manual II Psionics Handbook Savage Species Stronghold Builders Guide
If I missed a few I'm sorry. These are all I could think of.
Edit: Moved Exalted Deeds to 3.5 list and added Epic Level Handbook which was previously ommitted in error. |

VERY minor nitpick here, but the Book of Exalted Deeds is 3.5, otherwise I think your list is perfect.
And Kuje, I believe you're thinking of the Fiend Folio. That was the release at the center of the change, IIRC. /d |

No, I'm not. I'm specifically thinking of a FR book, which is why I said Races of Faerun, which is true since there's a passage that references the revised core books. However, Unapproachable East is also another because it has some passages that reference the 3.5e core books, which weren't printed till a few months later. |

Hey Kuje, I thought you were talking about the races of series, not the R.o. Faerun specifically. Sorry about that.

No problem. My fault for only writing Races. :) I should have wrote Races of Faerun. So, no worries. |

unapproachable east is actually a middle ground too, it was in the same month as 3.5. But according to wizards its almost completly 3.5 |

I'm quite certain that one is 3.0. |

Aye, and the two modules that came out before the FRCS are also semi-3.0. The modules are Into the Dragons Lair and Pool of Radiance:Attack on Myth Drannor. I say they are semi-3.0 because the rules hadn't been hammered out all the way when they were printed. The Cormyr module is also missing from the list, but it's 3.5e. |

Why is Book of Exalted Deeds 3.5, but Underdark is 3.0? Both were first printed in Oct 2003, which is three months after 3.5 came out. Neither book references 3.5 in the first few pages that I found. |

If the Underdark is 3.5, can you price/build the Bracers of Blinding Strike that are listed within that book, under 3.5 rules? I'm not being contrary. I was in a discussion on the WoTC boards and people said the item couldn't be built in 3.5, and it was priced incorrectly in the Underdark book. |

I have to agree with Wenin, Uunderdark sure looks 3e and not 3.5e. |

The Players Guide to Faerun as the official update to 3.5 for all 3.0 FR books states: “Underdark actually came out after the revision of the D&D Core rulebooks. You should be able to use all the material from these three sourcebooks [i. e. Races of Faerun, Unapproachable East, which both have anticipated much of the 3.5 changes, and Underdark] without difficulty.” |
