WeaselGuy's Index of Handbooks and Guides (3.x Ed)

[Bavarian itP]

I'd say it may be better to add the individual threads ordered by tackled alignment rather than just linking the superthread, but ymmv.

I disagree, just for the record.

[WeaselGuy]

And I'm going to humbly submit my mini-guide to the Inlindl School feat.

Added it under Melee. Thanks!

ooh, snazzy. Added, thanks!

[Waazraath]

Fantastic, thnx for the effort WeaselGuy!

Few things:
- Lists of stuff (https://forums.giantitp.com/showthread.php?454553 ) is now under "items & weapons" but it is much larger in scope (prolly a general resource);
- Umbral disciple handbook (here on GitP): https://forums.giantitp.com/showthre...ciple-handbook
- few other handbooks (on other fora) in my sig (I'll try to port them over soon).

I'm thinking of doing a "heist" campaign and wanted something other than a rogue. There's the Beguiler class, which is a rogue/arcane caster. There aren't any class guides so I found some to add.

Something I also came across while looking for other things:

- Full list of all natural weapons in D&D 3.5 (103 entries!)

Now you can ab/use Warshaper even more than you already do.

[daremetoidareyo]

I have a number of optimize this feat threads. Do these count as handbooks? Or are they just niche clutter?

[flappeercraft]

Great compilation! So many handbooks I didn't even know existed. Nice to see some of mine represented in there aswell!

[Crichton]

Ability Damage Resource 2.0

[Saintheart]

Just filing my Energy Drain, Negative Level, and Level Drain Resource in here.


EDIT: Well, also depositing some other guides that don't seem to have been touched yet, mainly around Tome of Battle:

Tome of Battle: Tricks/Combos/Library – really ancient, this one via Wayback Machine is from when Wizards decided to delete its entire forums about 10 years back by Tleilaxu_Ghola. Still a good list of options for Tome of Battle generally.

Tome of Battle for dummies from ENWorld.


Lastly, a short handbook for the Arcane Duelist from the minmax forums.

There is yet another Shapechange handbook out there : https://forums.giantitp.com/showthre...hange-Handbook

A resource I use quite often is the list of creatable Undead in the Collection of Necromantic Oddities : https://bg-archive.minmaxforum.com/i...hp?topic=181.0

A pair of mine from Minmax:

https://minmaxforum.com/index.php?topic=17898.0

Travel Magic (a survey of spells and items for traveling far, far, away)

[Saintheart]

Not sure if Minmax's Tripping Handbook has made it here yet, but if not, it has now.

[pumpkaaboo]

There's another Ardent handbook here: minmaxforum.com/index.php?topic=19229

(I would make it clickable, but I haven't posted enough to be able to do that yet, so you're going to have to manually paste it into your URL bar, sorry about that. Downside of being almost exclusively a lurker.)

[Beni-Kujaku]

The list of ways to assess an opponent's power level probably belongs here as well : https://forums.giantitp.com/showthre...CR-power-level

I find disappointing not to find the easiest method - just inform the dm that you are CONSIDERING casting trap the soul on the target.

I don't see a Hexblade Handbook in here, so I went and rescued DictumMortuum's old thread from the BG archive (Wayback link is here): https://web.archive.org/web/20101121...p?topic=7412.0
