Message: <blockquote data-quote="Henry" data-source="post: 3917230" data-attributes="member: 158">Minor nitpick - those were races in 1974, too - the whole "race as class" thing didn't come until Basic D&D in 1981. Otherwise, all the other stuff is dead on.However, from 1974 to 1978, all of those were just add-ons to the existing system; spells still worked the same, AC and to hit was same, etc. Now, we're dealing with a LOT of different subsystems, some just tweaked from previous (defenses instead of AC and saves), and some are radically different (the spells, powers for classes, per encounter focus, etc). I can completely understand the apprehension out there - I've got some of it myself.</blockquote>
