With a negative armor class and 80 hit points, I don't see how pre-3E editions stand a chance. Especially with 3.5E fighters rolling up to the battlefield with 200 hit points and attacking at +25/+20/+15/+10 for like, 1d10+8 damage....Y'know what? Someone should hold an actual edition war - Roll up a set of stats, then for each character class, make a character from each edition and have them face off against each other to see which one wins the fight.
It would come down to 4E and 3X. Those are the craziest editions across the levels. I don’t know enough 3X to say where it would be competitive with 4E, but it’s certainly not at lower levels.Y'know what?

This is true, and while at least some people will have preferences one way or the other, the differences really aren't all that major.Pepsi and coke are not the same
