[QUOTE="Larcen, post: 733286, member: 2406"] WOTC has a lot of that old stuff free for the download at their site. Plus there are fans sites that still support 2E. PLus you can get books cheap on Ebay, real cheap, or at old bookstores. Or ask all the 3E players you know to box their 2E stuff and hand it over to you. You would be amazed. I am talking sheer volume of materials here. Which, I suppose, eventually turned out to be a BAD thing. :eek: You missing my point. My point is that if Elves, for instance, COULD go up unlimited why are they not ruling the world? The gods would prevent it? Lack of desire? Sailing into the West? What? I makes no sense to me that long-lived races, with their ability to plan over the course of centuries, would not be exceedingly powerful if they had no limits to how powerful they could become. If you must have an in-game explanation of level limits, how's this: The gods, when dolling out the advantages each primary race got at the creation of the world, gave elves long life at the expensive of high power. Humans, on the other hand, were flash-in-pans by comparision. How's that? [/QUOTE]
