[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 7108624, member: 15700"] Basic opinion poll (stress: [B]opinion[/B]). When you think of an archetype that a class is supposed to capture, which edition do you think did it best? This is not about which edition had better rules, or fit and finish, etc. It's about which edition in your opinion did the best job emulating that archetype. I am very curious to see how 5e did in capturing them. You have a total of 12 choices (one for each class). And I do realize that there is no warlock or sorcerer in AD&D core, but I had already set the number of options, so just live with it :) And note, this thread is NOT meant to bash any other edition. It's meant to talk about the good parts, and why you think particular edition did it best. I.e., an opportunity to see what people liked, and talk about how that can be used going forward to modify to 5e. For example, if I select 3e for the ranger and give my reasons, how can I implement those best features into 5e now? *Edit* Well crap. I selected up to 12 options to choose, but the poll actually only allows one. Pfft. That sucks. So I guess the question now becomes, "What edition did the best job emulating your favorite class?" adapt and overcome... [/QUOTE]
