Exploder, sometimes I feel as if I am posting through you. Sadly, I must spread experience around before I can give it to you.

I'm not sure I am following - Are we disagreeing about something here? I was just stating that I enjoyed the way Wizards played in AD&D and 2E. Surviving low levels was a satisfying reward on its own, although I can't remember playing a Wizard above 10th level in our 1980s and early 90s games...

In my experience with AD&D and 2E, it was definitely more difficult to keep low level Wizards/Magic users alive based on their lack of hit points, inability to wear armor, and small number of weapon options.

I actually always enjoyed the struggle of keeping a low level Wizard alive and the payoff that came at later levels with powerful spells. It was part of the fun of D&D for me.

Thanks for the great information, folks. I really appreciate it!

A Google search for the article brought me to this thread after the article links came up dead. I asked about the link before finding the archive. Simple as that.

Was this review taken down? Edit to add: Nevermind. Found it here: http://www.montecook.com/arch_review26.html

Hi folks, Looking to play some 3.0 while waiting for the D&DNext playtest, and was curious - What issues might I have using 3.5 supplements with the 3.0 rules set? Thanks!

Thank you, sir, and congrats on the baby! :)

Hi Joseph, If we preordered last year, with this apply to us as well? I think I ordered near the end of June.

I have posted my opinions on the logo designs elsewhere. That said, If there is one thing that the D&DNext experience has taught me so far, it's that the style of D&D my gaming group and I have been playing for nearly 30 years is wildly different from the way most people seem to indicate (on...

The way of playing that requires or stresses the use of miniatures or precise tactical positioning. In my opinion, this started with 3E and got worse with 4E. I know some people love miniatures, and those systems/games worked great for them, so it's awesome that those editions exist for them...

Hey Jack, Mind listing the 12 skills you use...And also, how do you insure that a Thief is always better at thief-specific skills than the average person who just picks those skills? Thanks.

I completely agree with this. I would love to see different XP for different classes make a comeback.

I think it totally depends on the way you were introduced to the game and who you played with. I started playing around the time I started listening to certain bands in the early 80s, so a lot of the "feel" of D&D to me is tied up in certain music. Even though it didn't come out until much more...

I would like to see the basic game rules in the 3-book format (PHB, DMG, MM) which include some of the basic modules like skills and feats in a module section at the end of each book. I would like to see Tactical, miniature-based combat (and combat with powers like 4E) given their own combat...

Me.

Very excited.

Hi folks, Do any of you use the Disease Track mechanic to simulate severe or lasting injuries to characters? If so, how (exactly) do you implement this in your games with regards to healing/magical healing just "fixing it" during an extended rest? Thanks!

Hi Folks, Playing my first Pathfinder Barbarian, and I had a question regarding the Rage power. Particularly, one portion of the power description on P. 32. It states: "While in rage, a barbarian gains a +4 morale bonus to her Strength and Constitution, as well as a +2 morale bonus on Will...
