    AD&D 1E What was the reason for Demihuman level and class limits in AD&D?

    Because multiclassing was more immediately beneficial and more powerful than Dual classing where you had to stop doing any of the old class till you passed it in level. it was an attempt to balance out in the long term the wierd multiclass/dual class mechanics

    GMing: How to fudge NOT using the dice.

    well that's a nice black and white way of looking at it. Over the last 40 years I've had far more players lose it when I didn't fudge and just killed them, ( Not counting the dragon lance player that kept losing his naughty word because the players weren't doing what the books did.), than players...
