[QUOTE="Flexor the Mighty!, post: 207319, member: 1013"] We picked up the 2nd edition books when they came out and they never really hooked us. The group didn't think it was any improvement on the 1e game so we kept playing that. They got rid of the assassin, & the fiends. That sucked. It also had that horrible Monsterous Compendium that was in a binder. Seems like a good idea but I didn't like it in practice. Pages would get their holes ripped and it wasn't a easy to carry around as the 1e MM. Never played it when Kits and the powers and skills stuff was released so I can't comment on that. I do prefer the 1e combat system and the 1 minute round. I think it was quicker and more "cinematic" for the player. In the imagination it was a minute of blocks and parries and swings and feints. Then the one gets through. One thing I kind of wish 3e had incorperated was the automatic dodge or parry like GURPS or the Palladium systems. That way heavy armour isn't as necessary and great swordsmen can wear normal clothes and still battle armored foes and beat them if his skill is high enough. [/QUOTE]
