[QUOTE="Minigiant, post: 9225315, member: 63508"] My point is you would need a reset to insert the more mechanical versions of these. Skills weren't in 1e and they were integrated into the gameplay loop in 2e. Feats didn't exist. Maneuvers didn't exist. Different types of rest didn't exist. [LIST] [*]Does a ranger get a bonus to their Woodcraft or Animal Handing NWP compared to a wizard? [*]Which level do you get a feat? [*]What schedule is Pact Magic, Psionics, or True Naming work? [*]How does wildshape work? [*]What is an aberration or fey or giant? [*]Are you doing a ton of bonuses, a feat sets of bonus categories, or reducing things down to advantage disadvantage? [*]Is the fighter just +1 to hit per level but the paladin gets a class feature every level? [*]How does balance work if you add feats or skills or full caster bards or wildshape druids? [*]Is Challenge rating a thing? Do you have encounter building tools. [*]How do you add magic or martial to a monster? [*]How do you swap a monsters race if they only are ability adjusts and Charisma doesn't do anything for monsters? [*]Are races just static ability score adjusts? [/LIST] You need a reset to answer these questions. [/QUOTE]
