[QUOTE="Thunderfoot, post: 8459001, member: 34175"] Yes. It took some work, sure, but many of the differences were easily rectified (once you learned how. I mean yes there was a learning curve there.) But at the end of the day, their similarities out weighed their differences if you looked at them objectively. Most of the power differences fall in that middle zone that we talk about for 3e. 5th (4th for Pallys and Rangers) though about 9th. If you used a 1e wizard things got interesting at about 12th level because 2e spells capped damage dice and 1e didn't. Fireball is an effective spell, but in the hands of a clever player Lightning Bolt was far more dangerous and deadly.. Specifically the bounce/length/start point of the spell. You had to "throw" the Fireball, you could cast Bolt on the other side of a closed door. So both had their perks and nuances. BTW glad to see you're still around. [/QUOTE]
