[QUOTE="Remathilis, post: 4826068, member: 7635"] You're absolutely right (and I'd give you XP if I didn't have to spread the love) that the problem lies with "what gets fixed/ditched" and what doesn't. Everyone's got an opinion. For example, I couldn't go back to a game with downward's AC and Thac0. My friend could, but he hates multiple XP tracks. So for me, a game like C&C fixes my complaint but not my friends. But C&C opens it own can of worms for me (I don't like the SIEGE system for saves) so we're back to square one. I guess its the natural extension of trying to improve the game; it took nearly 26 years to flip AC, and now its one of the most common retro-game "House Rules" (only LL & OSRIC use downward AC?) No one will agree if these improvements help or hurt (and specifically which do which) so some people will continue to use their 1e rangers in 2e, or convert Against the Giants to 3.5, or crave an official 4e "assassin" base class. Progress is funny like that. [/QUOTE]
