Now that would make certain critters bad ass again.

prestige Classes would not be bad if they were... well...prestige. You can only have one. You can’t leave it once you start it. It’s a real hard decision to make for your character because it’s what you will be until you complete it. And absolutely no more that one prestige class. Can’t...

If you can run adventures the way you do and don’t really like most published adventures or are like warm to them. I think you might be the kind of person to run your own sandbox. I think guy might enjoy it more. Build the campaign and adventure that excited you.

Bingo

I really don’t think the vast majority of players are really into the forgotten realms Or any setting. They are primary there for whatever adventure is being published these days. Not saying they aren’t good or Ed Greenwood isn’t great. But I think there book adventure structure is the perfect...

I can agree with that. But I love to hear people talk about house rules designed to make their setting unique. I don’t mean a new power attack feat or someone deciding 2E specialization needs to be a feat. But things that flesh out the setting. One example being kingdom rules. Another being how...

yes. We all need the same shared experience in a game originally designed to create a plethora of worlds and settings and adventures. More forgotten realms please. Stay true to the setting and don’t change anything. Well maybe import greyhawk adventures and put them in the forgotten realms. We...

Yup. Got it.

Lol. Puritanical yeah. Got it.

They are now so Victorian and Puritan towards women.

I’ve often thought the bard and monk should just be an archetype for the fighter rogue, cleric, and wizard. Think that over a bit. Lol. Just an opinion.

I don’t even see a paladin as a choice, except one to walk away. They are just given gifts from the gods because they are such an exemplar paragon of virtue. Not like a bureaucracy can teach that lol. I laugh at the concept of paladin having knightly orders. Paladins are not knights. They would...

Yes because the paladin just doesn’t have enough already

that would most likely just end up being used for Combat purposes. But I think the purpose of this thread was to give them things outside of combat. I kind of think the best ability that could be given would be something along the lines of leadership and kingdom building. Just my opinion. I may...

Birthright had good specialty priests too. Most of the later specialty priests were good. The complete priests handbook just came about early before the books started taking a different direction. Although there were still very good things in both books.

Most 1E monsters didn’t have the hp that 2E monsters had. And 2E monsters generally had more magic resistance than 1E monsters as you raised levels. So with weapon specialization in 2E giving fighters some more damage and magic resistance lowering the wizards it really balanced it out in my...

Personally I miss aging attacks. I can see why some don’t like energy drain because it was kind of meta. But aging was a legitimate attack from various fairy tales and myths.

Yes we played that you could memorize the same spell multiple times. Most modules had wizards memorizing the same spell several times. I saw magic missile memorized several times quite often.

I never saw gauntlets of ogre power of girdles of giant strength ever when I played ad&d. And it disappointed me when I started playing 3.x/PF and they were just common gear to keep up with the game. i really liked old School specialty priests better than the current domain system. It had much...

and I also remembeR a million different things (not necessarily magic items) raised your charisma to 18. That got to be an in game joke that eventually something would raise your charisma straight to 18.
