When I went back and ran Ravenloft again using the original books, they didn't have NWPs in many of the books (in fact, would have to check, but I believe the whole npc section of the boxed sets didn't have them). And the modules didn't feature them the way current ones feature skills.But to address your central point, they were still optional even if they had wide representation through the rules. That was the beauty of the 2E design, you pretty much saw the game you wanted. For example I used NWPs religiously but was barely aware of the weapon type rules. I knew of them but ignored them. They reappeared elsewhere too but just looked like white noise to me. For people who didn't use NWPs they just came off as white noise.</blockquote>
