As I'm reading all these threads and all the talk about the old editions, I get nostalgic. Heck, I'd kinda like to whip out the Rules Cyclopedia and the Gazetteers and try my hand at BECMI.However, when I get the rulebooks out and start going through them, nostalgia give place to remembering some of the clunkiness of those editions.So here is a list of stuff I would like to KEEP in any future version of the game:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Same XP table for all classes (minor point but simplifies a lot)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">No THAC0: linear calculations</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Uniform mechanics. Related to previous point but applies to everything or close. Higher is better.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Precise and standardized terminology. MTG's gifts to DND. Precise words with specific definitions.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">No racial level or class limitations</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Class and race treated seperatly</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Standard bonuses for Attributes. BECMI had this, AD&D did not completely. I like that 14 is always +2 etc.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Saving throws that make sense (For, Will, Ref) instead of RSW/DM/PTTS/BA</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Effective Rogues ( I was really sad as a thief in BECMI, level 12 before 50% chance of hide in shadows...what do I DO for 12 levels?!?)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Well balanced classes. 4E's only real advantage, IMO</li> </ul>This is just off the top of my head. What are yours?ADDING:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Balanced classes</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Different, non-homogenized classes that act, feel and work differently</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Rituals</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Minions</li> </ul></blockquote>
