[QUOTE="Psion, post: 2048444, member: 172"] I think what you'll find is that folks here almost universally prefer the 3e ruleset over the 2e ruleset, but many find that there was idea material in 2e (like Planescape, Dark Sun, Ravenloft, etc.) in 2e that has not been matched by WotC under 3.x e. I personally was very reluctant to switch at first, having a pretty thoroughly defined set of house rules for my game world which I was comfortable with. But after I saw the approach of the 3e MM (which did some things with respect to customizing monsters not easily done in 2e), I was persuaded to actually try running a few games of it. I started a "side game" of 3e while I continued running my main 2e game. After a month, I was hooked and ditched 2e in favor of 3e for my main game. So you might consider giving it a try. Some things are different and daunting, but really work well once you get used to them. (Multiclassing was one of them. I had already house ruled out the distinction between multi and dual classing, but was still comfortable splitting XP, and was reluctant to go to the 3e method. Now I don't know how I could stand the 2e method.) [/QUOTE]
