[QUOTE="Psion, post: 48331, member: 172"] Okay, I may sound like an echo below. However, I really must ask: have you PLAYED 3e? It sounds like you are describing 2e in many places below. Oh, yeah. I remember reading my folklore talking about type I-IV demons. Not. If you want authentically named demons, see if you can dig up a copy of Stephan Michael Seechi's Atlantis setting. It is more true to the folklore than anything D&D has done to date. You mean like 3e's [i]summon monster[/i] spell (which unlike 1e's version is actually useful) and the [i]planar ally[/i] and [i]planar binding[/i] spells, which are far more useful that the silly [i]cacodemon[/i] spell. Druids have a separate spell list. Again, are you sure you are talking about 3e? If you say so. I'll take Reynolds over Trampier and Otus 7 days a week and twice on sunday. Actually it has 5. And unlike 3e, there is little rhyme or reason behind them. Nope. The players and DMs are ultimately responsible for providing the feel. The mechanics must be funtional. And 3e is much more functional than 1e's, IMNSHO. Uh... hello! Wake up and smell the new edition. That was second. So does 3e. The difference is that unlike in 1e, they are balanced. And from all appearances, I could go on an on. Or at least I would if it didn't appear that you are laboring under the incorrect assumption that the current edition is 2e. Uh, want mine? :) At least you are comfortable in your closed-mindedness. [/QUOTE]
