[QUOTE="cbwjm, post: 8219748, member: 6788732"] I wouldn't mind running a 2e game. I'd probably keep thac0 just because it isn't really that difficult to use, and I think people would pick it up easily enough. Other things I'd do: [LIST] [*]I'd grant mages additional spell slots like a cleric but based off intelligence instead of wisdom to give them a little extra kick at low-levels. Might also give them some sort of magical basic attack that requires a wand or staff. [*]All other classes that have spells would also gain bonus slots, bards, rangers, and paladins would get a few extra. [*]Ignore level limits and minimum ability scores. I wouldn't ignore prime requisites so a paladin still needs good strength and charisma for that 10% bonus (though that 10% doesn't really count for all that much in the long run) [*]Open up multiclassing to all races and maybe get rid of dual classing altogether.

[*]Remove thief skills and make them nonweapon proficiencies any class that gets thief skills gains either specific skills or bonus skill slots to select skills from the rogue group.
