3.0->3.5 Help

[J_Muller]

So I've got a bit of a problem, and I figured the rules nerds (no offense) to be found here are my best bet to help me with it.

A few years back, when I first got into DnD, I sprung for the Player's Handbook, DMG, and MM. However, I failed to find many people around my area to play, and the books were relegated to my bookcase.

However, now I've found this site, and the opportunity presented itself to play PbP games of DnD. Unfortunately, I had the bad luck of buying my 3.0 Edition sourcebooks just before the switch was made to 3.5 Edition.

Which brings me to my question. I've been told the differences are minor. But I'd like to know what they are so I can remember them and play PbP games here with my old sourcebooks instead of putting up the cash for a whole new set of books.

So what are the differences between 3.0 and 3.5? Can I manage with 3.0 sourcebooks if I, say, stick a list of changes written on looseleaf paper in the front of my PH?

Thanks in advance for any help people can provide.

The Wizards website as some downloadable PDFs with the alterations on them, and here is the 3.5 SRD.

Behold, the SRD, in all its glory.

Seriously. You don't need anything else. You already have all the flavour text, so just get the rules text from here.

Edit: *shakes a fist at the Dhavaer Ninja*

If you're just going to play online, using SRD and other Wizard's erratta should be find. But if you plan on playing table top at all, I'd suggest sucking it up, and buy the 3.5 books. Unless of course you want to bring your computer with you to every session. Also, I've never heard people referred to as rule nerds before. Rules lawyers yes, but rule nerds, no.

So very, very sigged.
