Which isn't really the argument here.And the list would be far shorter than the list that 1e could not simulate. No system is perfect at this sort of thing. Some systems are better than others.Considering that Gary didn't design the 1e ranger class, that would be hard to argue (it first appeared in The Strategic Review, penned by another author, I can't remember who). In point of fact, the 1e ranger is a virtual clone of Aragorn, with almost every single one of the class's abilities easily traceable to some action the character took in LotR.And it is a much better game when it allows players to emulate characters from myth, legend, and literature, or simply excercise their imaginations concerning characters.</blockquote>
