[QUOTE="Sadras, post: 7556727, member: 6688277"] We played AD&D a very very short while, before getting into 2e AD&D. We were much younger, less experienced and there was no internet. 1) Yes we used them. Both, but since I have to choose, I'd have to say it was for the balancing factor. 2) No one played the class at our table, but yes the Barbarian would have been allowed as written. We were younger, I'd have to relook at it the class now to make a judgement call. 3) Into the teens (highest was 13th-14th) as long as the campaign (group of players) could last. 4) No we did not. We would now as we are doing something similar in a current RPG. 5) We did not use henchmen (sadly). 6) Funny enough balance was not a concern at our table and most preferred to play fighters. 7) No issue with XP costs. 8) No they did not. 9) Yes we did. 10) No 11) We stopped AD&D a long time ago, but if we were playing it now, I'd imagine we would port over many ideas/mechanics. 12) We must have had, I was always tinkering away, but surprisingly nothing important/striking comes to mind. EDIT: I remember there were those unofficial handbooks which we used on and off and Comeliness - if I recall correctly that came from UA. [/QUOTE]
