[QUOTE="Grabuto138, post: 5987343, member: 61053"] I don't ask this to be confrontational, but how much of 1e/2e did you play? For me 3e was the hugest, most ginormous change in my role playing experience. It was the first time that the game had a more or less unified rule set. In the old days, joining a new campaign was really tricky because, in my experience, each group ignored a large part of the rules that your previous game didn't, and emphasized rules that your previous group ignored. And there were always tons of house rules. Try firing into melee using 1e rules: "Assign probabilities to each participant" (you've already lost me, Gary.) Half-value for s, 1.5 for L, "Total the values for each group and ratio one over the other." ..."Thus, 4/7=56pc or 60pc chance per missile..." (1e DMG pg63) Did you know that the first time you listened at a door you may "keen-eared"? Neither did I. Edit: Even with grognard nostalgia, I have not heard a call to start using "segments." Or, my personal favorite, the randomly generated prostitute table. The distinction among Sly Procuresses, Saucy Tarts, and Haughty Courtesans can be game changing. [/QUOTE]
