They might like to see how the game has evolved. Of course, you should ask them beforehand, so this will cause no misunderstandings.Right. My pre-3e knowledge is limited, and my pre-2e knowledge is practically non-existant. I knew that at one time, D&D didn't discern between races and classes, but that was long in the past (a major pet peeve of mine with DSA, our national rip-off of D&D, which only very recently lost this).Ah yes, I remember. One of the most ridiculous things in the whole pre-3e-area. I remember that when I played 2e (didn't read the books too closely, I already knew 3e rules, which made it all worse. I relied on the rest of the party to tell me the rules as we went, so much I know about 2e could really be naughty word house-rules) it took a whole minute to draw my sword, and I coudln't do anything much for other, say 57 seconds. Or I'd cast that magic missile spell - so damn quickly, and just before the other guy got his fireball out, but then I had to wait almost 60 seconds before I could rattle off another quick incantation.But not for small characters, like halflings....Don't forget the rest: Thieves could not be LG. He could be LN, the epitome of lawfulnes, but he could not be LG. Priests, on the other hand, only get spell levels up to 7 (or was that only in 2e?)Well, in 3e, negative levels don't allow a save right away, either. But of course, you can try to remove them just before they become permanent level loss.</blockquote>
