[QUOTE="Particle_Man, post: 3012062, member: 892"] [b]If one were to play OSRIC as a game...[/b] Some amusing differences between OSRIC and AD&D 1st ed: In AD&D1ed, there were "npc class race combos" like halfling druid, dwarf cleric, etc., that players could not take, but which existed in the world. OSRIC made two changes here: some race/class combos (like halfling druid) are dropped entirely, while others (dwarf cleric) are made accessible to players. This leads to two consequences: a) Halflings are hated by the gods (well, we'd always suspected this, right? :) ). No halfling clerics or druids exist. b) Half-human races suck at cleric abilities (they make great assassins, though) :) . I mean I can see half-orcs sucking at it, but half-elves are the second worst, since dwarves, elves, and gnomes have a higher maximum level. There are not even any half-elf druids. [/QUOTE]
