Paladons in AD&D came from the PH1e in 1978

TY for the explanation! I apologize for my typos as I am typing fast using my phone's keyboard and it fat-fingers a lot. Taking yhe alignment restrictions is just as bad as the removing the level limits on demi-humans and the class restrictions removal, in my opinion. In the B/X and 1st ed...

I know what u r talking about. I have that exact same booklet and both B/X box sets with thr Dragond on yhr covers of the red and light blue covers and the cream colored Rules Cyclopedia. I know exactly what u r saying about the classes having different XP tables. I made that transition from B/X...

I agree on the Morale checks being better. I actually forgot about that till u mentioned it.

Yeah, I know it is shocking. I was just explaining how the Race of Elves can only be F/MUs in B/X for when first started out. It made no sense to me, even as a 12-yo boy starting out with these crazy rules. I was like why can't I be a Thief or a Ranger as an Elf. Lol A Dwarf can only be a...

Yes, I agree with Phatsakk. A Dwarf being a Paladin would b difficult. I use the UA rules gor a Paladin build because it makes the most realistic sense. After my L18 Fighter reaches L20 I am going to switch him over to the Cavalier class and get him to L16 and then make him a Palladin. He is LG...

However, with the rules explsining the classes from the B/X is exactly why a lot of people got away from using the B/X box sets bc they were confusing people about what classes a chosen race could play as. This is is why AD&D 1e is much better at explaining and alleviating this confusion. When I...

Yes, but it does not say Class of Elves, Dwarves, or Hwlflings. It says Demi-humans as a race of Elves, Dwarves, Halflings,. Clerics there says Humans, but it doesn't say Clerics are a race. It is the class chosen by the Human. Just like Fighters is a class chosen by a Human or a Thief, etc. So...

There is no race in D&D B/X that was a class. I have the B/X box sets and playefd by those rules when Infirst started out. I have already explained this. Elves were F/MUs dual class, Dwarves were Fighters, and Halflings started out as Fighters. The PH1e and UA added more classes for races and...

The rekoval of alignment restrictions on classes. WHAT? Is this for every class? Because that sounds nuts too. It is my understanding, that anything goes as to what class u can build with any number of ability scores u can muster. It is also my understanding, from someone I know who only...

Ranger is a Class and not Race. So no it does not make sense. I understand the modifications to the Class u r describing, but for what Race?

I read your posts to my opinions on 2e and 4e and 5e. Here is my response to all 4 of your points. Point #1 Even Fiction in any game has rules and limitations. One cannot make a Bishop move like a Knight in Chess, 1 cannot choose to skip over going to Jail in Monopoly, 1 cannot put a square...

Maybe I am confused by what you are saying about being a Ranger instead of a Halfling. One cannot mix races with classes, just like in a real life. For example, you cannot be Asian in its of being being a Magic User or any class for that matter. Even the B/X/M rules did not do that. Instead what...

Your thoughts and opinions are greatly appreciated! I have 2 HIE Thieves and 2 HIE F/MUs that are from the B/X box sets that moved oved over to the 1st ed rules, which, for me work out properly. Changing the rules for these already mid- to high-level characters does not make much sense. I will...
