    [spin-off] 3E is NOT "dumbed down."

    On combat orientation, 3e vs. 1e: pages on combat in the 1eDMG, 23/169; in the 3eDMG, 23/246. Pages on combat in the 1ePH, 2/109; in the 3e PH, 19/274. I disagree that 1e was only concerned with combat. Gary included an abundance of information on world-building and establishing a believable...

    [spin-off] 3E is NOT "dumbed down."

    And I thought this was the line you were trying to correct. The two assertions made with "not into" and "enter...square" are contradictory.

    Favorite Wizard/Sorcerer/Arcane Magic Sourcebook?

    Since you're willing to consider "The Complete Wizards Handbook" I'll add KenzerCo's HM "The Spellslinger's Guide to Wurld Domination: Crushing Empires for Fun and Profit". How can one resist a title like that? Haven't read it yet, but I'm looking forward to it. :D

    The coolest, classic D&D BBEG!

    Asmodeus. Well because...he's Asmodeous! As a DM my players would have a tiny chance against any of these BBEGs. Against The Man himself, they'd need a miracle!

    [OT] Who has the coolest sig?

    Canadians are Americans. As to sigs, I opt for utility. Several posts of mine have simply said, "read my sig." Elegance in action. :cool:

    Rolling characters...what's your favorite method?

    AD&D: 4d6, drop the lowest die 7 times, drop the lowest stat. Repeat twice for 3 sets of stats, pick the best set, arrange as desired. HM: 3d6, in order.

    20th level?

    In 1e, playing that character's (F/MU) campaign 4, maybe 5 months out of the year, about 6 hours per weekly session, it took approximately 10 years. In 3e, got a wizard to 7th level, 4 hours per weekly session, in less than 2 months.

    EN World Members Map!

    Bah! Doesn't work for me. Down in the "status bar" on the bottom of the page, it says "javascript: void (0)" instead of "Done." Any clues?

    You know you need a new group when...

    Munchkin re-defined OK. I got that #98 a little wrong. Looking at this player's sheet a little more closely, I see scattered around that this is a multiclassed character to the tune of: #98 (revisited): Monk20/Rogue20/Fighter20/Wizard20/Cleric20/Adept20! The guy says he actually played this...
