3.0 out of 5 stars not updated to 3.5, January 4, 2007

For all those that do not want to do the research themselves: The Monster Manual II and Fiend Folio books included in this set have NOT been updated to the D&D 3.5 rules. All three books are hard-covers though.

Note: I have not purchased this set (for the abovementioned reason), but this review was based on posts on the WOTC message boards from people who actually owned this set.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great deal on Great books, July 8, 2007

I haven't purchased "the set" but I do own all the books. There are some monsters in the Monster Manuel 2 that are over-powered, but overall these books bring a great assortment of monsters. I wouldn't worry too much about two the books being 3.0 versions. There's not really enough of a difference between 3.0 and 3.5 to worry about in my opinion. However, if you really want them up-to-date, you can download files that do just that for free from the wizards of the coast website.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not so bad, February 26, 2007

One of my very good friends owns this set and she says that the conversions from 3.0 -> 3.5 are not difficult at all. WOTC actually provides an update manual in PDF form (completely free) that shows you how to update the Fiend Folio and Monster Manual II to 3.5 so this is actually a good deal considering you get a massive amount of new monsters to play with and conversion is fairly quick.
