[QUOTE="Hereticus, post: 4810867, member: 83093"] [COLOR="Silver"]I just started a first level 3.5E character, the first in many years, and it really hit home how much more survivable my 4.0E character was at first level. The more I play 4.0E, the more it grows on me.[/COLOR] [COLOR="Silver"]Every system I played in that I enjoyed was heavily house-ruled... AD&D, 2.0E and 3.5E.
