Message: <blockquote data-quote="Voadam" data-source="post: 8960680" data-attributes="member: 2209">For me when 3e came out I had been DMing AD&D for more than a decade, I had tons of material for it, worked material from other games into my AD&D, was comfortable with it, enjoyed it, and expected to play it for the rest of my life, occasionally incorporating some stuff from other games into my AD&D ones.Nevertheless I still had issues with AD&D.3e surprised me in addressing a number of my issues with AD&D with innovations I liked, enough to try it out then to switch.1 Having an explicit design goal of all classes being balanced for combat.2 All classes being designed to be balanced against each other each level for combat.3 Universal xp chart so the party can remain equal.4 Universal xp chart so xp tracking can be dropped and go with group milestone levelling5 Races being designed to be balanced with each other.6 No non human level or class choice limits.7 No classes having level limits.8 Stat bonuses working off a steady progression instead of a reverse bell curve.9 Thief skills not being their own one off thing.10 Thieves being designed for combat.11 Level one hp being maxxed out so that one shot death was less of an issue.12 Energy drain changes.13 Changing save or die poison effects to stat damage.14 Cantrips as an option for low level magic-users to do more than one spell (and to do more than the 1e UA super minor effects).15 Monster templates.16 Ascending AC.</blockquote>
