The Handbook Compendium

[Logic]

I was thinking, it would be nice to have all of these user-made class guidebooks in one easy to find location, so I am starting this thread with the intent to link to all of them.

BrilliantGameologist Handbook Index (http://brilliantgameologists.com/boards/index.php?topic=12678.0)



Some stuff that I use which may or may not be on that other handbook list:


Tier System for Templates (http://brilliantgameologists.com/boards/index.php?topic=7044.0)
Tier System for Classes (Original JaronK version) (http://brilliantgameologists.com/boards/index.php?topic=5293.0)
Tier System for Prestige Classes (http://brilliantgameologists.com/boards/index.php?topic=5198.0) (there may be updated versions of this list out there somewhere)

Tier System for Classes (http://brilliantgameologists.com/boards/index.php?topic=11714.0) (possibly error prone, semi-Comprehensive version)

Example: I've heard the Totemist commonly classified as T3 and Incarnate as T4. Then again, few people have played both from levels 1-20 to properly comment on them. Sha'ir should also likely be T1. I'm interested in hearing explanations of why it should be T2 instead.

The handbook index has a fair amount, though many more have come out since.

I have one in progress right now: what X should have been (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=254023)

A good few to add would be the one's made by Urpriest and PersonMan if you can find and link all of them

Do note that BG has moved and will be gone soon. This is the new handbook index at MMB. (http://www.minmaxboards.com/index.php?topic=399.0)

I'm working on an update for this. (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=214115) Not a major overhaul, mind you—just a new section. It's not the fastest progress I've ever made, though.

You guys are reinventing the wheel - just follow the link I posted, all this has been compiled already.

(We need a new Fighter Handbook though.)

The MMB doesn't include quite a few of these. It's the problem with these compilations :P Consider the Guide to the Class Guides (http://paizo.com/forums/dmtz3shy?Guide-to-the-Class-Guides) over of the Paizo forums; it's got some overlap with my PF guide compendium, but it hasn't updated in quite a while, and it includes a few guides I didn't for one reason or another.

In that case, it would probably be more efficient to spot its omissions and announce them over there. Spreading this out just is probably just going to leave both lists incomplete.

[Psyren]

What eggs said. The majority of the links posted here are already there. I haven't gone through to see what's missing and what isn't but I doubt there are many.
