[QUOTE="Blackbird71, post: 6599190, member: 6794081"] Possibly; that's what I'm trying to determine. The way that magic has become more pervasive within some of the classes makes me question it, but the modular nature of the game may make for better support (if more effort on my part to fill in the missing pieces). I don't seem to recall ability modifiers or leveling of ability scores being in any edition prior to 3.0, so no, it's just criticism of elements from more recent editions. The jury is still out on whether it would be as/more difficult in other editions; so far I see more modifications that would have to be made to 5E than with 2E. It's just a question of whether what remains after those modifications makes the effort worthwhile. The purpose in the theorizing is an attempt to evaluate the extent of that effort. I guess I'm a harder sell. I'm definitely still considering it, and as I said, I've got more to learn before making a decision. I've seen enough that I really want to like 5E, but at the same time I see a lot of problems that would come from using it as well. There are definitely a lot of problems from previous editions which it solves nicely. 5E does appear to be a good system, I'm just uncertain whether it is the [I]right[/I] system for what I'm trying to do.
