[QUOTE="mmadsen, post: 49482, member: 1645"] Obviously the people who stayed with D&D through the ages didn't mind its "issues", and those who moved on minded them quite a bit. Just about anyone who moved on from D&D to another game system gives hit points and armor class as examples of wackiness they finally couldn't take. My point is that the argument then becomes this false either-or situation: [List=A][*]Heroic, simple, high-hit point, unrealistic play, [i][b]or[/b][/i][*]Gritty, complex, low-hit point, realistic play.[/List] We can keep it just as simple and just as heroic without some of the wackiness. (I shouldn't have to spell out all the examples everyone gripes about: hits that don't really hit, but do damage that has to be healed by potions that don't heal that damage as well as they seem to heal low-level non-heroes, etc.) [/QUOTE]
