Like negative ACs, worthless skills, and the THAC0, these ancient and decrepit problems of the old editions have gone the way of the 8 track, killed for a superior way of thinking.

When a Paladin needlessly dies, the causes of Evil and Chaos are advanced.

WOTC said several times late last year that they had no plans on doing a 4th edition.

No. You'd have to spend a move action to moveo ver the terrain.

I don't really qualifiy that as a "world shaking event". I mean, you could easly change that story to say "he cast the spell from the scroll" and everyone should be able to accept that and move on. Something like the Time of Troubles is the ultimate in lame world shaking events to explain...

I sorta looked at that when I started, but the MM doesn't come even close to what I have in mind, and Savage Speices is an utter joke when it comes to anthromorphic animals. And it's not Redwall I am making, the races aren't polarized like in those books. Rabbits are no more good and noble...

*starts up a Scroll Store and has a "Banned Spells!" sale.*

Why? Can't we just say "Yeah, the rules changed. We're going to pretend that this is the way the world has always been, no more explination required." WHY do you have to create some nonsense in game reason for a change like this? Just continue playing and pretend the new rules have always...

Here are my own ideas, though I think what I have come up with is weak and not very interesting. Badgers: +2 CON, -2 INT. Hardy and sturdy, but their culture neglects literacy and learning, considering it to be a waste of time. Low light vision, stonecunning as a dwarf, +2 on crafting checks...

I need some help coming up with stat adjustments and racial abilities for some home brew races. They are all medium sized LA+0 anthromorphic animal races. I already have general histories and other "flavor" done for them, I just cannot seem to come up with a set of balanced and sensible...

That brings back the sense of the old AD&D games, where it was the all powerful DM against the hapless players who couldn't ever trust the guy running the show. I like the level playing field of 3rd edition. When the DM is working against the players, now I can recognize it. EDIT: RPGs are...

No where in any D&D does it say a Focus is a Material Component. And never assume the rule books say something they do not.

Somehow, I have a feeling to have some assinine world shaking event to explain system changes would break my immersion more than just converting the characters and playing on like nothing happened would. We're all supposedly intelligent people here, why do we have to have things like this...

While I think it's hardly perfect, and other systems do certain things better, I think the d20 does the most things well. Easy to understand, easy to use, lots of flexability, good power scale, mostly balanced...

Exactly! My friends and I had all figured that Wizards was going to mess the game up, and make it a hack and slash power gamers paradise. But the day the PHB came out, we bought copies and played. And I suddenly realized how much frustration and contempt I had for 2ed edition, now that I was...

When the various class splatbooks from Wizards were released, they were good books, and were pretty well recieved. However, our tastes have changed, we want more than just new rules to tack onto the core books, we need a complete product. Complete Warrior is much better, and much more useful...

I say review the book as its own product. That can give us a good idea about weither or not its value as a suppliment has dropped since its original release by subsequent products.

There are really a ton of little changes, and only a few really big ones.

The group I played a lot of my early 3rd ed games with did 4d6, rerolling 1s. Made for some high powered characters, but it was a high powered game, so it worked out.

I like the new system, and would never, ever touch 2ed edition, even if it were the last game on earth. I -like- having a coherant system where I don't have to hope the DM isn't an idiot rulesmaker when I ask him if I can jump a gap or try to attack someone's weapon. I know the rules, I can...
