[QUOTE="Ripzerai, post: 2702237, member: 38324"] Not that Gygax hadn't been slowly increasing the powers of deities as well, or that Q1 was written by Gygax. I'm not saying Asmodeus wouldn't have had those cool powers if Gary Gygax had been the one who wrote the [i]Manual of the Planes[/i] - I have no idea. I [i]do[/i] know that the evolution from 1st to 2nd edition was a gradual incline rather than a sudden radical phase shift; although there were of course some radical changes as well, it's sometimes difficult to distinguish between the two (most notably in the [i]Greyhawk Adventures[/i] hardcover and the [i]Hall of Heroes[/i] accessory for FR, both of which managed to use 1st and 2nd edition rules simultaneously). So Asmodeus probably should have just said "brave new era," but there's no arguing with the Dark Lord of Nessus once he gets a way of organizing things in his head. He likes to break things up into parts, ideally groups of nine. [/QUOTE]
