[QUOTE="BroccoliRage, post: 2787679, member: 38402"] personal opinion: 3e = anime and video game tainted sacrilege with some excellent ideas that get bogged down in a ridiculous rules-lawyer system that defiles a game that never truly needed to be revised. the flaws were easily dodged around. i agree with you entirely on the other matter, about races dont need to be interesting. too many people want their characters to be amazing creatures from entirely crazy backgrounds. call me old school but i like playing your good old human fighter who took up his pitchfork and set out from the farm when he came of age to seek his fortune in nothing but leather armor and a wagon wheel shield. to me thats a hell of a lot more exciting. makes you think about where that grizzled ole veteran you meet in the tavern came from. my group used to only play elves but i did away with racial adjustments after the next TPK and told them (amidst whining and complaining) that i want them to play a character because they want to. to this day they congratulate me and their character are not nearly as bland. too many people want to play strategically and not enough want to truly role play, which is the heart of the game.
