[QUOTE="MeepoTheMighty, post: 390529, member: 3216"] [b]Re: Re: Re: AD&D First Edition inferior?[/b] [B][/B] On the surface, they were fine, but things got to be a little wonky. What happens when you get hit with a flesh to stone spell? Is that a save vs. spell, or a save vs. petrification? What about if the spell was cast from a wand? [B][/B] If anything, 3E made it unneccesary to have seperate classes in order to replicate historical ideas. You want a cavalier? Put some skill points into ride and diplomacy, take mounted combat feats, and roleplay him like a cavalier. No need for a seperate mechanic. [B][/B] Meh? They need to overhaul this RIGHT NOW because it doesn't please you? Err, okay. And from what I've seen, more cash customers are pleased than displeased. My FLGS owner's only complaints about 3rd edition is that he can't keep it on the shelves. [B][/B] Nobody's been shunned. The RPG police haven't taken away your books. [B][/B] What do you mean by this? Ignorance and hype? You lost me. [B][/B] It's as much of a thinking man's game as you want it to be. [B][/B] Well, money, for one.
