This was esp. the case with 3E. With 5E, I feel like I need to do this less. But it does not only work in that direction. Me and my friends may have not liked 4E but we did steal/adapt a version of Second Wind for our 3.xE game, for example.I also think that the majority of "problems" pointed out on these boards, with current or even former editions, have a lot more to do with our obsession than the games themselves. Most of the people I have played D&D with don't really care about the nitty-gritty of the rules. In my current 'newbie' group, even the person playing a ranger does not care about what rangers can do or not do or how they work compared to other classes (the current topic du jour) because she is having fun immersed in the game they are engaging with as are the other players.</blockquote>
