Yeah. It's almost like that 1e Bard made no sense at all. If you're one of those people that hates puppies, joy, and the cold side of...

This is true, but for my post above, I gave the benefit of the doubt that each time the bard had XP to level, they would level. But...

There's a big yes, but ... to that. Levelling in 1e could never be done in media res. By this, I mean that trying to compare exact XP...

Here's where you're not making the right connection. That 10th level bard isn't really a 20-24th level AD&D character at all. If a...

The great saving throws as you leveled really made a difference too.

True. After all to teach dramatic pacing can often take a great deal of time. And the more general skill of "not just playing your...

Eh. Again, it depends what skill. Yes, the skills connected to long-term resource management are hard to make central to play with...
