[QUOTE="ExploderWizard, post: 6709117, member: 66434"] Forgot your class? Must have been a house rule. We used the actual rules. You forgot nothing, but if you used your old class abilities on an adventure then you didn't earn any XP. That made perfect sense to us. Elven fighter/magic users could wear any armor and still cast. That is why they were popular. The level limits seem restrictive but the benefits compared to a human were huge. Another thing that is seldom mentioned was that 7th level in AD&D is no where close to 7th level in 5E with regard to the actual play time needed to attain the level. Unless the campaign gave away huge amounts of treasure, an AD&D campaign could go on a long time before reaching 7th level. Not a few months, more like a few years. In that context, the level restrictions were not as bad. I wouldn't use such restrictions in 5E, they would be far too limiting. [/QUOTE]
