    Darkvision Ruins Dungeon-Crawling

    you can hide or stealth against darkvision. (leaving invisibility out entirely here). No reason you can't scout even if you dont' have darkvision and they do. Rolls would suck but you could very quietly and slowly slip past someone with dark vision. They can still be distracted, sleepy,or...

    D&D General Alignments in a sentence/phrase/whatever

    My take: (note in my experience CG can be just as scary an alignment as CE or CN. Doing the right thing without regard for other people's reality is quite disruptive even when good is the intent. and LE played intelligently is very often taken for a G alignment. While LN played harshly is...

    Darkvision Ruins Dungeon-Crawling

    I agree to a point. Dark vision doesn't let you see past the limit of it's vision. Unlike your normal vision. imagine the world if everything at 30ft, 60ft or 90ft was just hidden behind a black inky wall. If you couldn't see more than two or three houses down your street, or even driving...

    Someone with aspergers autism could have any skill set just like any other person. they can be low int, ave int, high int or same with any other ability. it would be more of a roleplaying exercise than a character building exercise. There i no one size fits all methodology

    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
