View Full Version : SRD Doesn't Work for Me?

I always see people linking to the SRD with exactly the information people need, but whenever I try to search for it on the SRD, all I can ever find is Core stuff; but I know for a fact I've seen non-core things that people have linked to.
So, what am I doing wrong?

Are you checking out the Variant and Psionic rules as well? If you already do, then all I can say is to search harder. I know I've missed things more than once or thrice.

The "Psionic Rules" section is stuff from XPH.

The "Divine Rules" section is stuff from Deities and Demigods.

The "Variant Rules" section is stuff from Unearthed Arcana (and is not technically in the SRD).

d20srd.org contains the System Reference Document information, which is most of the core books less flavor text, examples, some important details like how Experience works, and just in general most of the non-rules text.

It also contains Open Gaming Content information from Deities & Demigods (under Divine Rules), the Expanded Psionics Handbook (under Psionic Rules), and Unearthed Arcana (under Variant Rules). Also, I believe the Epic Rules section is a mix of the 3.5 DMG and 3.0 Epic Level Handbook.

Any questions?

EDIT: Ninja, like other Japanese loanwords, is both the singular and the plural. In this case plural.

@Jasdoif:They're all on the website, though you are right about that.

Oh yeah, I forgot, the stuff in the Epic Rules section is from the Epic Level Handbook, if I remember right.

This is a useful site: http://www.systemreferencedocuments.org/index.htm?about.htm

Has links to every web version of the SRD.

The best web SRD is probably this version http://www.systemreferencedocuments.org/35/sovelior_sage/home.html

What you're probably thinking of however is http://realmshelps.dandello.net/, a nasty site with noncore stuff.

Does that last one violate copyright laws? I'm always a bit tentative about directing links there.



Either way, that's probably the one you're seeing. I see it referenced quite often.

I swear that I've seen some people posting non-core stuff, most specifically spells from the Spell Compendium and feats from Libris Mortis and Complete Adventurer.
