Of course that begs the question as to what was in those old books instead...While there actually is a bit of a valid argument here when it comes to open options vs rigid frameworks, it is lost in the inaccurate & overblown statements.I played a halfling freedom fighter for many years that would gladly have disabused you of the notion that fighter was not a valid option. Not to mention the number of halfing priests who are wondering what in the heck you are talking about.Perhaps you should have found a less predictable group rather than blame the game for their behavior.I give out individual XP awards to this day. It's not an issue of competition or favoritism, but of course maturity has a lot to do with that.If the rules didn't change it would still be called there wouldn't be a ".5" tacked on to the end.I just hope you realize that there are quite a few folks still playing OD&D/Rules Cyclopedia/1E/2E who would find this to be not only grossly inaccurate but also bordering on ignorant condenscension.</blockquote>
