[QUOTE="3catcircus, post: 1583482, member: 16077"] Actually, we don't really *know* if they were sorcerers or not - given the ruleset, the intent still may have been a sorcerer (for instance, all of the "Southern Magician" wizards from Mulhorands, Unther and Chessenta might have been intended as sorcerers...) Well - in keeping with the idea that, other than FR and the *initial* conversion of Greyhawk, WoTC *didn't* do the conversions of old worlds, RPGA members did most of it for Greyhawk and Paizo did (at least partially) in Dragon, for example - I don't see this as a problem. As to "suddenly changing," I don't see it this way at all. They *did* direct port FR and Greyhawk, looked at new 3e stuff, and if it made sense, they modified the 3e version of the world. Once again - you completely missed my point. If the 2e version *works* as-is, after 3e conversion, then don't go adding new stuff or doing "change for change's sake." Well - I think that many of the 3rd party conversions are excellent - Ravenloft and Dragonlance turned out pretty good. The Al-Qadim 3rd party stuff is pretty darn good. I expect Planescape will go well, as will Mystara. The only question is for the guys who were doing the Maztica update - the website hasn't been updated in a long time, so I suspect that the project is either dead or severly behind schedule.
