Message: <blockquote data-quote="cbwjm" data-source="post: 7154188" data-attributes="member: 6788732">Out of curiosity, did you change up the classes in any way when you simplified the XP tables?I was thinking about 2e a few weeks and I'm not sure how much I would bring in from later editions that I didn't already have while playing 2e (or at least thought about when playing). Things I would have if going back to 2e would be the following with NEW besides the items that I'd bring in from later/other editions. Everything else I was already using.Bonus spells for wizard based off the cleric bonus spells from high wisdom but using intelligence instead.NEW Spell repertoire from ACKs but more flexible. I'd allow spellcasters to have a number of spells of each level prepared (1 per spell slot of that level, +1/spell level for Int 13-15, +2/spell level for Int 16+). I'd allow them more flexibility in changing them. This would be kind of a cross between spell preparation of 5e and the ACKs spell repertoire.Expanded race/class choice. I'd probably do away with them altogether. If players want that dwarven wizard then I'd be fine with them playing a dwarven wizard.NEW Multiclass PCs taken from castles and crusades:1. Combined XP table of all classes. An elven fighter/mage would need 4500 xp to reach level 2 instead of becoming a fighter 2/mage 1 at 4000xp.2. Single hit die. Since they level up their classes at the same time I would use the closest average hit die, rounded down. A fighter/mage would use d6 for hit dice. Mind you, since you are levelling up at once, rolling all hit dice and then averaging the result wouldn't be much of an issue.3. If using level limits, then the lowest level limit is used, but...No level limits. We pretty much never saw them while playing since we never hit those high levels and the campaign with the highest PCs were human anyway.NEW: Spell failure chance and concentration. I would definitely bring these in. If a fighter/mage wears armour then they can still cast spells but there is a chance that spell would fail (don't want them to have all the benefits) elven chain would still be a coveted item for a fighter-mage. If a spellcaster is hit while casting a spell then they can make a concentration check which would likely be a constitution check or system shock roll or something. I'd have to think on it.</blockquote>
