[QUOTE="JiffyPopTart, post: 8566138, member: 4881"] Everyone who says 1e is less complex than 5e invariably means 1e (but ignoring a bunch of non optional rules nobody ever used but that are written in the book) is less complex than 5e. Did you know that a spellcaster being attacked while casting a spell can't add their DEX bonus to AC or they will automatically lose the spell (DMG 65)? Of course not because nobody has probably ever used that rule. The only reason I know about is is I have the full 20 page document of how to run an ADnD combat with every small rules exception noted in it saved on my phone to reference and bring up every time so eone says 1e was less complex than 5e. Search for the DnD document called ADDICT if you want to see for yourself. Bonus question: How do you adjudicate surprise when a party with a ranger encounters a band of duregar? It's in ADDICT. Hint: it requires converting fractions to percentiles. [/QUOTE]
