Or it would be something the DM had come up with and let the players play. Much like the two listed above, which are very deviant additions to D&D, it was fairly common for a 1E game to use home brewed stuff made by player or DM. I've seen talent trees, alternate magic systems, skill based mechanics, and much weirder stuff (such as mecha combat rules) integrated into 1E campaigns. I'm completly unfamiliar with the examples you gave, but I suspect they can be converted to 1E mechanics or to otherwise used with such mechanics. So, knowledge to your players would be to take the book to you and say "I want to play one of these. How can we make it work?" It may not be the answer you're looking for, but that's 1E flavor IMHO.</p></blockquote><p></p>
