I have PHB I

[Imruphel]

And, there's an error in mine. Of nine alignments, they're all either the best or the worst. Can't there only be one best and one worst?

I bet they didn't playtest this! Now every blasted character is going to be min-maxed for alignment as well. How am I supposed to DM around that?

I hear you'll be able to get bonus HP for a con as low as 12!

Did they keep exceptional strength? I like how an 18 to 19 strength has such a big gap now.

Spell madness!!!

I just saw a copy at my flgs yesterday. What's with all the "inflict wounds" spells and "destruction" and all that stuff? What about just reversing the spells when you memorise them? In fact, I don't see anything about reversible spells anywhere in the book. Or about memorisation either. Some stuff about preparing spells, but that's just confusing. The memorisation rules were simplicity itself - why mess with a perfect system? And what happened to spell lists by level? It's all mashed together in one huge bunch now, with cleric and magic-user spells thrown in with druid spells. I can't see any kind of system to it at all!!

Something else I just saw. There are no kits. None at all! Now every PC is going to be like every other PC.

I just finished my first reading of this... Did anybody else notice that THAC0 seems to be missing? Where are the "to-hit" charts? How in the world do you run combats without this?!

It must just be an oversight. They meant to put it in, I'm sure.

Wow, the new Monk sure looks overpowered! They have the best saves in EVERYTHING and a "stunning attack" ability at 1st level that other characters can't even try to get until 8th level. And they become immune to poison. What a broken class.

What about the artwork? Is it true they updated pictures from 1ed? I'd love to see a remake of the dwarves encountering a magic mouth-spell in effect.

 

[Imruphel]

Why did you bother buying it? Palladium is so much better.

No, they used all new artwork. And everyone's armor looks all spikey. It's pretty horrible. I wish they'd go back to the old artwork.
