The Nature of the Core Rulebooks Changes
The purpose of this booklet is not to provide a compre-
hensive list of everything that has changed with the 3.5
revision. The changes are too large in number and
varied in scope to be able to provide an all-inclusive
inventory. Instead, what we want to do is to show you a
broad picture of what has changed and to provide you
with support for updating our most popular product.
Do you need to make these changes?
No.
This booklet is for players and Dungeon Masters who
value rules precision and need to know whats changed
so that they can continue to enjoy their 3rd Edition
products.
You might choose to make notations in your existing
books, photocopy and cut up this booklet to add book-
marklike inserts to your books, or simply use this book-
let simultaneously with your books.
We provide a brief, general overview of the core
books and detailed revision notes for Deities and
Demigods, Epic Level Handbook, Fiend Folio, Manual of the
Planes, and Monster Manual II.

Fiend Folio
The monsters presented in the Fiend Folio used the revised method
of calculating skill points and feats, and require very little adjust-
ment as a result. The only 3.5 rules not incorporated into the Fiend
Folio were the new damage reduction system and the new method
of pricing constructs. Table: Fiend Folio Monsters provides revised
damage reduction statistics for every Fiend Folio monster that has
this special quality. Following that table is a list of constructs with
revised construction information.
