[QUOTE="Mokona, post: 1863993, member: 24891"] [b]3rd Edition Won Me Over![/b] AD&D 2nd edition soured me on D&D completely. I stopped playing D&D for a long time and was convinced that level based games with character classes were the problem. Vampire: the Masquerade was my game of choice; I enjoyed it and I thought that Vampire's point buy character creation/leveling system was the solution. I was wrong. The problem had nothing to do with level based characters versus point buy characters. The problem was that I didn't like AD&D and I didn't like the (IMO) few character options. D&D (3rd edition) brought me back to D&D and keeps me into roleplaying because I am excited that no matter what character concept I'd like to portray there is an easy way to do it in a unique way. D&D is better than point buy systems, I've become convinced, because character classes are somewhat limiting and unlimited choices hinder my ability to figure out what (obscure) archetype my character embodies.
