[QUOTE="Quasqueton, post: 2135101, member: 3854"] Let's see: the I charge up to the orc and attack with my sword; roll d20, add in my bonuses, compare to the orc's AC; roll d8, add in my bonuses, remove damage from orc's hit points; orc falls dead; loot corpse; get xp. Take D&D3, remove skills and feats, and you have the same bare bones that you can find in any other edition of D&D. I'm rather amazed at how quickly some people are to point out the differences in the systems. I find comfort and enjoyment in the vast similarities. Actually, D&D3 is a [i]fundamentally[/i] similar game to any earlier edition. D&D3 is no *more* different from AD&D and B/ED&D than AD&D is different from B/ED&D. In fact, D&D3 includes most of the best parts of all the previous editions, and removes most of the worst parts. So many stories told on this forum (or on the Story Hour forum, by god) can pass for any edition of the game. Its only when you look down at the details of the mechanics do you see the differences.
