[QUOTE="David Howery, post: 7887371, member: 17239"] I admit to not being totally satisfied with any edition I've seen. 1E was the classic, of course, but lord... those 'run backwards AC', screwy surprise and initiative rules, poor organization, eventual suffering from too many added on rules books. 2E was an improvement in organization, but... no change to AC, took some classes out instead of fixing/including them, and the eventual slow death from splat books. Still, 2E did introduce some neat stuff. 3E had some stuff I liked... finally fixing the backwards AC, removing level limits... but a lot more stuff I didn't like; a lot of it struck me as a slide into munchkinism. Never saw anything to do with 3.5 or 4E. I do have the books for 5E.... it's a well set up set of rules, but again, I find that it seems to be a real slide into munchkinism. That said, it does a lot of things well, some things I wish 2E had done... [/QUOTE]
