I have read all, but the books excepted those noted with an *.
I have been accumulating quite a list of Pathfinder books and I plan on getting to reading them all, but that is going to take a while.
If the book is a Paizo product, but not listed on this page and you want to use it then ask me about it and I will probably allow it.
Texts NOT Used in the Game
I want to stick to the basic Pathfinder system. I am trying to get back to the Pathfinder roots, so I am not using many 3rd party books. The DM may draw from various 3rd party books at will though, that rule holds for 3.5 edition and 5th edition as well as Starfinder (don’t worry Starfinder is a different game system and I won’t be including much from it).
When using D20PFSRD be sure to check the bottom of the page for the source, if no source is listed then it is assumed that it is found in the Pathfinder Core Rulebook. If the book listed is not included on this page: then you must ask the DM if you can use it. For example the special material Silversheen is only found in PC:Qadira, Gateway to the East is not in this list so it may not be used.
Most things found on www.d20pfsdr.com website that were produced by Paizo are acceptable to me, however I have not read all the rules on the website so if you are going use something that I am not familiar with then please run it by me first. The best way to do that is to find a link for it on www.d20pfsrd.com, copy that link and email it to me. If you check at the bottom of the page you will find a copy right notice. If a page is not given a copy right notice then, you can assume it is found in the Core Rulebook. Almost any Paizo books found on this list are acceptable. I plan on reviewing your character sheets, when you make changes to them, prior to the game. That is why I require that all changes be done before Friday, so I have time to see them. With that in mind please don't make nonstandard abbreviations, like "pally" for paladin. I may not be able to understand those abbreviations.
