[QUOTE="Henry, post: 1686270, member: 158"] Seconding Spoony Bar'd post to keep it civil. As for me, it wouldn't work. A lot of the rules seemed basically, [I]"you can't do this, you can't do that, this is gone, that doesn't exist,"[/I] etc. While I enjoyed 1E and 2E, I used to house-rule the heck out of it to DO the things being denied here. If one wanted to simple path to making a hybrid game, it would possibly be simpler to keep WotC's "10 things you can do to play 3E right now" than make a large corrective rules set. Examples include: 1) AC scales UP. All bonuses add a + to your THACO, not subtract it. 2) Clerics can spontaneously swap cure spells 3) Mages and Specialist Wizards get INT bonus for spells per day I don't recall the whole list (it was in a Year 2000 Dragon) but someone may know it and post it for me. :D That way, one could keep the rest of the rule set coherent, and make only the neatest changes without altering the whole kit-kaboodle of AD&D.
