This ties to the meta-plot (Times of Troubles! Faction War!) and to the multiverse (A kender, a athasian priest, and a red wizard walk into a bar...) that, while making Athas, Ansalon, and Toril seperate worlds, FEEL like one giant game (akin to the Worlds of Darkness, for example).(Slightly) less emphasis on the dungeon/combat. Spells like Know Time and Conjure Spell Component. 2e took a more leisurely pace to combat, so not every class was optimized for it (hello thief). NWP that (while never improving) allowed your character a variety of options that 2 skill-points a level cannot.Variety. Kits, Specialty Priests, etc added local color to a game without the hassle of balancing PrCs or feats. The downside? Balance varied from weak (Comp Priests) to Uber (Faiths and Pantheons).Thats the best I can manage without diatribing rulesets.</blockquote>
