(There's a notorious Ryan Dancey review where he calls D&D 2e "a clever derivative of 3rd edition" despite every single reason he calls it that being a system that had been carried through from WFRP 1e in the mid 80s). I think it's one of those systems where the default action is "challenging" and you should frequently give the PCs bonuses when they try to do things.The one place 2e is vastly superior to 1e is the magic system. 1e uses a generic spell point system where wizards can just do stuff, 2e uses a system where every spell cast is a risk that might end up summoning a demon.</blockquote>
