[QUOTE="SHARK, post: 392668, member: 1131"] Greetings! Well, I played 1st Edition D&D for some ten or twelve years, and it was a great system. However, times change, new developments form, and better ways of doing things have come along. I certainly think in most things, 3E is far superior to 1st Edition. It is cleaner, more elegant, and gets rid of all of the odd nonsense rules that we had to explain away with house rules so many times it became tedious. Multiclassing, racial limits, and so on. The list is huge. So 3E has done it right. 1E definitely had the edge though in flavour and atmosphere, as well as not being swallowed in political correctness.:) But happily, those things are elements that I can easily change in my own campaign world, so it's not a problem.:) As for Cavaliers, what can't you make an effective Cavalier in 3E with? What is a Cavalier if not a specially trained mounted knight, with a aristocratic background and a particular world-view? I suppose I don't get how if you liked the 1st Edition Cavalier you can't simulate the same wonderful class concept in 3E. I certainly do so all the time in my own campaign!:) Semper Fidelis, SHARK [/QUOTE]
