[QUOTE="Kylas, post: 4488744, member: 58233"] Sorry if this seems like a edition comparison. I can't really judge other editions as I never really played any others except for CRPGS like BG1, BG2, Icewind Dale etc. WOW I cannot belive no when mentioned the switch from THACO to 'higher is better'. Yeah I know it's not that hard to understand THACO once your used to it. Bbut being baptized into the Temple of DnD, during the 3.0 reformation I never had to mentally calculate THACO. And every year or so my 2.0 buddies gotta remind me how to do it again. I have to completely agree here. My group splits campaign time between me and another DM. He has his own 2.0 inspired house rules mixed in. I used to cringe whenever our groups rouge would fail sneak attack because of facing. It wasn't until I read a 2.0 PHB that I began to understand. Almost every rule has a variation of the phrase "remeber to use Rule 0 as needed" inserted somewhere or another. -As I mentioned earlier flanking, flat footed and bacstab. I do like the specialization and cover and concealment. Though I wish those were standardized in a way that was easier to remember without looking it up. Uh oh...Magic from bows and arrows stopped stacking in 3.5??? Where is that rule. Looks like I got some 'splainin' to do. [/QUOTE]
