[QUOTE="Caliban, post: 7237668, member: 284"] Yes, they are evoking a 1e/2e "feel" with the 5e rules. That doesn't mean you have to (or even should) have specific knowledge of those editions in order to play. All that's included in the 5e books, you don't need to do any additonal research. :) What exactly is the point you are trying to make? Because just saying "tradition" over and over again has rendered the word meaningless to me. I honestly have no idea what it is you are trying to say here. Mainly because...the scenario you are talking about simply doesn't happen for the majority of the new players I've encountered. They don't roll dice for their stats, at all. No one talks about the good old days of rolling 3d6 to make crippled characters and liking it. It just doesn't happen. Sorry. [/QUOTE]
