Introduction

Complete Adventurer is a rules accessory for the D UNGEONS

& D RAGONS ® game. It is primarily a player resource

focused on skills and other game elements that charac-

ters of any class can use. It looks at nearly every aspect

of the D&D game with skills in mind, and it allows

characters with the proper number of skill ranks access

to new combat options, new spells, new equipment, and

new classes. DMs can also use this book as a resource for

creating or optimizing single creatures or even entire

campaign worlds.

Three new standard character classes—the deadly

ninja, the masterful scout, and the versatile spellthief—

provide players with new ways to approach highly skilled

characters, and each class has a unique approach to

combat as well.

The large number of prestige classes in this book is

deliberate. Every character class (and nearly every character

concept) is represented, each with a focus on skill use.

Whether you’re a spellcaster with a few levels of rogue or

ninja, a ﬁghter feeling a lack of skill points, or a highly skilled

character looking to further specialize, you’ll ﬁnd exciting

options and classes throughout these descriptions.

Many of the spells introduced in this book interact

with skills—opening up new uses, providing special

bonuses, or producing powerful effects for characters

with the right skills. In addition, many of the spells

focus on using existing abilities in unusual and inter-

esting ways. These spells allow spellcasters to occupy

a signiﬁcant place in campaigns that emphasize skill

use and give advantages to those characters with a large

number of ranks in many skills.

The last chapter of this book provides information on

several organizations open to player characters. Some are

related to the prestige classes introduced earlier, while

others stand on their own. Each organization has guide-

lines for membership, beneﬁts for joining, and realistic

reasons for adventurers to belong. Any one of these

organizations could become the focus of a campaign,

since each admits members from a diverse selection of

character classes and concepts.

EVERYONE HAS SKILL

What does it mean to be a skilled character? Really, the

term is just a matter of degree. Even a character who gets

a measly 1 skill point for each new level he attains can

become better at a particular skill than other characters

he might encounter (or travel with). Much of this book is

potentially relevant to any character—from new uses for

skills to new equipment that can help even an unskilled

character make a crucial skill check, Complete Adventurer

provides exciting options even for characters with very

low levels or very few skill points.

WHAT’S INSIDE

Complete Adventurer is structured similarly to its compan-

ion volumes Complete Warrior, Complete Divine, and Complete

Arcane. It provides the same kinds of game information,

emphasizing certain topics in a way that best suits the

theme of the book.

For instance, a full chapter in Complete Adventurer is

devoted to skills and feats, beginning with an extensive

discussion of new applications for existing skills—the

largest single expansion of the rules in Chapter 4 of the

Player’s Handbook that we’ve ever published. The chapter

also includes a long list of new feats, many of which are

suited to characters with a large number of skill points

per level or a large number of ranks in a single skill.

WHAT YOU NEED TO PLAY

Complete Adventurer makes use of the information in the

three D&D core rulebooks— Player’s Handbook, Dungeon

Master’s Guide, and Monster Manual. In addition, it includes

references to material in the Epic Level Handbook, the

Expanded Psionics Handbook, Complete Warrior, and Complete

Arcane. Although possession of any or all of these supple-

ments will enhance your enjoyment of this book, they

are not strictly necessary.

The changes we make to previously published material are

intended to create an improved version of that material—to help

out prestige classes that were formerly suboptimal choices, to

adjust feats or spells that were simply too good, or take whatever

steps the D&D v.3.5 revision made necessary for each individual

class, feat, spell, or item. Of course, if you’re playing with older

material and it’s working fine in your game, you shouldn’t feel

compelled to change.

SOURCES

This book includes material from other previously published

work, including Dragon Magazine and earlier supplements

such as Defenders of the Faith and Song and Silence. This mate-

rial has been picked up and revised to v.3.5 based on feedback

from thousands of D&D players comparing and debating

the strengths and weaknesses of characters and options at

gaming conventions, on message boards, on email lists, and

over the counters of their friendly local gaming stores.
