[QUOTE="DND_Reborn, post: 7831414, member: 6987520"] Well, I would argue if AD&D was considered more complicated it was simply because it [I]actually[/I] had rules to cover a lot of the stuff 5E is lacking in. Um, yeah. I was five when I started basic D&D and well into AD&D by the time I was 10. Granted, I am smarter than the average ogre but, well, all of the friends I played with were the same age and understood the game, so... Well, I said our SP are still limiting, and by more versatile I mean in what level spells I cast not which ones, just in case there was any misunderstanding on that. I can burn through points by casting high level spells only or conserve them and last for dozens of rounds by sticking to 1st and 2nd level spells. Didn't I say HP are the limitation (i.e. are limited???). You can't have infinite HP after all. The lethal weapon to kill is limited only by the amount of time in the adventuring day. You never tire from swinging your weapon... [/QUOTE]
