I've stated this before but I want to reiterate the point. D20 products DO
NOT require the PHB. They simply cannot include the character creation and
level advancement rules. These COULD come from the PHB but they could also
come to Bobo's Big Book of Fantasy Character Creation which could include
rules that are similar to those found in the PHB or a completely different
system for character creation; or they could come from some other source.
While I like what WotC has done with D&D3E and will use the PHB in
conjunction with D20 products, there is no requirement that you use any WotC
product with D20 products. At this time, there are just no alternatives to
use (at least none that I am aware of).
