[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 3449616, member: 22779"] Oh of course. However, that's the point. Just because I chose to spend time adding to the adventure doesn't mean that I had to. That was my choice. It always was in any edition. The idea that you can't run 3e out of the book is just wrong. Granted, you lose out on a lot of the customizability that way, but, you certainly don't have to any more than you had to in any other edition. I wouldn't blame edition for bad module design. All editions have seen some bloody foetid piles of stinkiness. :) However, this isn't limited to edition though. You can do that in any edition. What you cannot do in earlier editions is customize the mechanical aspects of your character after 1st level. Well, that's not true. There are a few things you can do, but, by and large, not a whole pile. 3e encourages players to spend time outside of the game working on mechanical changes to their character. These options simply weren't available previously. Now, whether that's a good thing or not, depends on you POV. :) [/QUOTE]
