[QUOTE="TwinBahamut, post: 3917485, member: 32536"] First, I'll disagree that THAC0 and BAB are identical, simply because they [i]are[/i] reversed. If they didn't change anything, then they would still be usig THAC0. Also, my main point is that what they did keep the same, the fact that different classes get different progressions, is actually a source of severe problems, since then classes get more and more unbalanced the farther they climb in level. Changing the mechanic to a unified progression is a change, and is an improvement. I don't play in the Realms, so I won't comment on the changes they are making to it. My justification for using new flavor, even [i]if[/i] it is bad flavor, is that newness [i]is[/i] always good. New ideas are inherently better than old ideas, simply because they offer a new opportunity for inspiring someone. Also, it is impossible to see if new flavor works well or not unless it gets developed and tried, and I think the potential benefit of getting a good new idea outweighs the potential harm of getting stuck with bad flavor.
