	Among the five major editions of D&D, Third Edition is famous for releasing [[dakka\|way too many books]] in rapid succession, usually one but sometimes two ''per month'', many of which were written by people who didn't have a very clear grasp of the rules and none of whom were looking over each others' shoulders or reading all of these books to ensure that everything would work together correctly. As a result, the big selling point of 3e is that it has record-setting numbers of playable races (over 200), base classes (52, or 53 if you count the [[erudite]] as its own class rather than a variant [[psion]], or 54 if you count [[samurai]] twice since there are literally two classes named samurai that have nothing to do with each other), and [[Prestige Classes]] (782 according to Wizard's official index, and that's missing ''at least'' the ones introduced on their website, though it does include a few redundant entries that were updated from 3.0 in a 3.5 book or otherwise reprinted), while the big drawback is that it permits a lot of [[skub\|rules lawyering]] and [[Pun-Pun\|insane brokenness]]. Just to give you an idea of how screwed up things were, the Arctic Dwarf, Frost Dwarf, and Glacier Dwarf were three completely different races. If [[Chaotic Stupid]] was a D&D edition, it would be 3e.

	The system turned 20 on August 10th 2020. Despite the system still having considerable popularity for something its age, this went completely unnoticed. Even Wizards of the Coast didn't give it a token mention. Stay tuned to see if anyone notices when its older than 1E was at 3E's release (June 2022) or 3.5 turns 20 (July 2023).		The system turned 20 on August 10th 2020. Despite the system still having considerable popularity for something its age, this went completely unnoticed. Even Wizards of the Coast didn't give it a token mention, apparently too busy trying to figure out which of its old products were "racist". Stay tuned to see if anyone notices when its older than 1E was at 3E's release (June 2022) or 3.5 turns 20 (July 2023).

	The third edition of the '''[[Advanced Dungeons & Dragons]]''' game, albeit dropping "advanced" from the title to make it more accessible to new players. Though initially published in the Fall of 2000 by [[Wizards of the Coast]] (as the version commonly referred to as "3.0e"), a "3.5" revision was published in July 2003 with significant changes to the action economy and some relatively minor changes to damage resistance and the skill points system, and it is the 3.5 revision that most 3rd edition players use.

	3rd edition introduced the now ubiquitous "[[d20 System]]", where almost every action with a chance of failure is resolved by rolling a d20, applying relevant modifiers, and comparing the result to a set difficulty (or, in some cases, another character's roll) to determine success, referred to by the system as the "Core Mechanic". For example, a fighter attempting to hit a monster with his sword rolls a d20 and may add his Base Attack Bonus, Strength bonus, relevant Weapon Focus ~~bonuses~~, magical enhancements, etc. with the objective of beating his opponent's Armor Class. Rolling equal to or over the target's AC means he has successfully hit and gets to deal damage. In a similar vein, a rogue attempting to pick a lock rolls a d20 and adds his skill ranks, dexterity bonus, any relevant skill ~~bonuses~~ from feats, modifiers depending on the quality of his equipment, etc. in an attempt to beat the target DC (Difficulty Class) of the lock.		3rd edition introduced the now ubiquitous "[[d20 System]]", where almost every action with a chance of failure is resolved by rolling a d20, applying relevant modifiers, and comparing the result to a set difficulty (or, in some cases, another character's roll) to determine success, referred to by the system as the "Core Mechanic".

	This was generally regarded as a significant improvement on the systems used in 1e and 2e, where many different parts of the game were governed by vastly different mechanics. Restructuring the game around the single core mechanic made gameplay much simpler and easier to pick up for new players.

	===Characters and Creatures===		===Characters and Creatures===
	Characters and creatures in the system are structured around Hit Dice and ability scores, wherein ~~bonuses~~ and traits from various hit dice are stacked together and combined with modifiers derived from the base ability scores to determine the other statistics of the entity. For example, a 2nd level Cleric/3rd level Fighter would have a +1 BAB for his two cleric hit dice and a +3 BAB for his three fighter hit dice, combining to give him a total Base Attack Bonus of +4, which would then be modified by other abilities such as strength or dexterity to determine his overall bonus when making an attack. The hit points granted to him by each of those hit dice would be added together and modified by the constitution score to determine his overall hit point total, and so on.

The hit points granted to him by each of those hit dice would be added together and modified by the constitution score to determine his overall hit point total, and so on.

	Almost all entities have six ability scores: Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma - that describe basic qualities of their character. The human average ability score, as the baseline from which all other ability scores are referenced, is 10 or 11. Ability scores higher than this grant ~~bonuses~~ to their relevant checks, and lower than this impose penalties. Every two points of score results in a +1 modifier, such that a score of 8-9 is a -1 penalty, 10-11 is +0, 12-13 is +1, and so on. Different races generally have ~~bonuses~~ and penalties to some ability scores to represent how they differ to humans; for example, graceful but frail elves have a +2 to their Dexterity (giving them an extra +1 bonus to Dexterity-linked checks) but a -2 penalty to their Constitution, whereas stout but surly dwarves receive a +2 to their Constitution but suffer a -2 to their Charisma.

	In general, having any ability score reduced to 0 (by magic or other effects) results in incapacitation or death; a 0 Str or Dex character is unable to move himself, a 0 Con character is dead, and a 0 in a mental ability stat results in a coma. Some entities are lacking certain abilities entirely, a situation explicitly different from having a 0 in the stat: for example, a mindless magical construct that cannot think for itself both has no constitution score, as it is not a living being and is not subject to poisons, diseases, and other such things as living beings are; it also has no intelligence score, as it is generally incapable of making its own decisions and instead acts only on the orders given to it by its master.

	Finally, later that year, [[The Book of Weeaboo Fightan Magic]] came along and added a '''tenth''' magic subsystem, wherein spells were renamed "maneuvers" and casting them was called "initiating". The [[Crusader]], [[Swordsage]], and [[Warblade]] used this system. It arrived far too late to get future support of any kind, but it had a solid enough fanbase it was remade for Pathfinder as ''Path of War'', which got plenty of support.

It arrived far too late to get future support of any kind, but it had a solid enough fanbase it was remade for Pathfinder as ''Path of War'', which got plenty of support.

			Of course, then it was decided that there still wasn't enough systems, so they went and published an 11th system to remix the regular spellcasting rules called the [[Sha%27ir]], with which a spellcaster doesn't prepare their spells or have a bunch of known ones on command, instead having access to a special familiar who goes out to grab them, with the time and difficulty of it depending on the spell. This essentially meant you had a spellcaster who got to prepare spells as they went throughout the day, doing whatever whilst their familiar was off grabbing more. Oh, and they could prepare from the entire wiz/sorc spell list. And they also got a bunch of cleric domains as spells too for free as part of their list, making them a simultaneously Divine and Arcane class.

	There's some other, lesser, magic systems out there. Unearthed Arcana introduced a few, explicitly variant, rule options for spellcasting. "Spell Points" is really just the Psionics mechanics attached to the Cleric and Wizard spell lists. Incantations are ritual magic that first showed up in d20 Modern's [[Urban Arcana]]. Unlike d20 Modern, where these were the only way to access spell effects of greater than 5th level (or at all in some campaigns), nobody bothered with these because while thematically nifty, it was just a GM's tool kit for homebrew than anything usable outside of fiat. Recharge Magic made magic even more stupidly broken.		There's some other, lesser, magic systems out there. Unearthed Arcana introduced a few, explicitly variant, rule options for spellcasting.

	Among the five major editions of D&D, Third Edition is famous for releasing [[dakka\|way too many books]] in rapid succession, usually one but sometimes two ''per month'', many of which were written by people who didn't have a very clear grasp of the rules and none of whom were looking over each others' shoulders or reading all of these books to ensure that everything would work together correctly. As a result, the big selling point of 3e is that it has record-setting numbers of playable races (over 200), base classes (52, or 53 if you count the [[erudite]] as its own class rather than a variant [[psion]], or 54 if you count [[samurai]] twice since there are literally two classes named samurai that have nothing to do with each other), and [[Prestige Classes]] (782 according to Wizard's official index, and that's missing ''at least'' the ones introduced on their website, though it does include a few redundant entries that were updated from 3.0 in a 3.5 book or otherwise reprinted), while the big drawback is that it permits a lot of [[skub\|rules lawyering]] and [[Pun-Pun\|insane brokenness]]. If [[Chaotic Stupid]] was a D&D edition, it would be 3e.
