Not back in the day, but it is AMAZING. Though I would probably still tweak the spellcasting rules if I ever ran a AD&D 2E game using it.

Did anyone use the Favored Class rule by enforcing experience penalties in 3.X? I never even thought about it, but I can only recall one character who was ever multiclassed last time I ran a game.

2e and 3e Ravenloft blows 5e loft out of the water.

Have you tried giving Fighters all good saves? Or at least two good ones.

We have had rules creep in from computer games. Back when I regularly played 3.X one "rule" we had was that summoned monsters took XP from the party. I think this came from Everquest where a pet could take XP from the player if it did most of the damage. As a result no one used summons.

No. EDIT: Honestly I am a player who just runs with whatever is going on and will try and always bite the obvious plot hooks.

Railroading is when I don't get to do what I want, and the more I don't get to do what I want the more of a railroad it is.

Gond might very well be a greater power in such a world.

What are the D&D Archetypes that spread out to other D&D settings from their original setting or even to other media. I know there are a lot, but the one I am going to mention is of course, Tinker Gnomes. They spread from Dragonlance to Spelljammer, to the Forgotten Realms, Mystara, and even get...

Dragonlance details Half (Tinker) Gnomes and Half-Dwarves in Races of Ansalon, a 3.5 sourcebook. So there is a source for those two if anyone is interested.

Maybe Fireball should be changed to D10s...

It really feels like WoTC went crazy with CHA casters once they made the Sorcerer back in 3e. I would rather have the Warlock be an INT caster. Or even change the Sorcerer to a CON caster. Also, back in 3.5 I felt that the Dread Necromancer should have been an INT caster but they got slotted...

Until he eats their brians.

I would let Sorcerers "research" new spells in between levels so when they gained a new spell they could get the new spell they were researching for free. So a players tells me they want their Sorcerer to make a spell to polymorph their arm into a weapon that attacks at 3/4th BAB for 1/round a...

I would bring back Shapechanger being a main monster type instead of just a subtype. Why? Cuz I like it.
