Here's my theory on Judith. By being in her mother's womb, she was protected somewhat by the virus, but exposed to it in a lower dosage, so that she's become immune to it, and can pass this down to her children. They can also synthesize a cure from her blood. I can't believe they didn't call...

Roll a dice to level 9(ish), a set small amount per level after that. I.E., AD&D rules.

None of the above. 1 hp per night's rest. I could live with 1hp per character level.

I'll echo the previous two posters. 3e is not my game of choice, but if I were to play it, 3.0 is the way I'd go. But 1e still rocks my socks.

I use checkpoints. If there is a tpk, the game resets to the last checkpoint, which is back in town before character generation.

Right, I'm not saying either claim is correct, but when both groups get a complete opposite impression, their grand goal of unification has already failed.

This is why 5e will fail. You see a "mishmash of the old" and I see almost nothing from pre 3e save maybe some terminology. All I see is 4e mechanics reworked a bit, maybe mixed with some 3eisms and some old school flavor text. They are uniting the old and new fans all right. By giving us...

Again, try reading my post. I'm saying it's an outlier. Very few people see hit points as morale or fatigue points. Else, why are they called hit points? Every game calls them hit points or health, not morale points. Catering to a minority view of hit points is one reason 4e failed to net...

Sigh. Not this again. No. The high level fighter turns the sword through the ribs into a graze. The point is, the warlord still yells the scratch, however minor, away. until 4e, all hits were SOME damage. Now it's only emotional damage. I absolutely don't mind that as as an option...

I never said they should exclude it. Try actually reading my post. I said it shouldn't be the default. Include all the "Kiss the booboo and make it better" options, I just don't want it as the default.

Sorry, I call 'em like I see 'em. You get hit with a sword, you bleed, you lose hit points. Someone yells at you, you regain hit points. That's yelling wounds away. I'm not misrepresenting anything. Unless the dm says "the barbarian's sword goes into your rib cage, and suddenly you just...

Why can't you just allow it in yours? I want to be able to run a game without magic. I want to ban Clerics and Wizards and still run the game. Why is everyone so dead set against me having the option to do that? We're not. I just don't want it as the default. It's fine as an...

1: Only fighter subclasses such as ranger paladin, barbarian. 2: The fighter, and possibly barbarian should be better than the others. all they do is fight, they should do it better than others.

I was referring more to the entirety of your post, not simply that one statement; however, I'd postulate that pre 3e, the game made no assumptions as to whatever level a game would go to. Originally, there was no maximum level.

Speaking of flawed assumptions...

I'm not familiar with Football Manager. And yes, many times. I simmed one league from 1901 to 2000-something.

Out of the Park Baseball 6 with the Cincinnati Reds.

They lost me when they turned the dwarves into elves with beards.

*snip* I think we should work hard to ensure new players a fun experience, but I don't think having a character die is anathema to that experience, either.

80%? That's way too high. Here's a 1e comparison of a fighter and an npc warrior - a non special npc, not a henchman, or otherwise stronger npc. Fighter S16 I9 W10 D14 C14 CH12 +1 damage. 6 hp Warrior S12 I10 W11 D12 C12 Ch12 4 hp The fighter has a 5% better chance to hit. I used an...
