[QUOTE="Non-Proficient, post: 8229853, member: 7030127"] I hear ya. That explains why I didn't catch on. I only played a few games in that edition. An unoptimized ranger that picked up a Grey Render companion that I didn't even know at the time what it was. It was explained as sort of a blue slaaad, but friendlier & gray. That's when my bowstrings would always be breaking on nat 1's. I never bought a single book from that era. 5e is my first WotC D&D purchase. I played more isometric 3e video games (gasp) than in-person. WHFB consumed my gaming time. It toughens your skin to "WAAC" play. Far more wailing and gnashing of teeth in that realm. Nothing I've seen or heard in 5e would get more than a smirky eye-roll out of me. There was army comp. scores if you were trying to be competitive to consider. I took fluffy armies that got steamrolled and picked up best sportsman pity awards lol. Nothing like a comp. score to in 5e to curtail poor form besides bent feelings of other players I suppose. That's not gonna cut it with some types of players. [/QUOTE]
