[QUOTE="pming, post: 7524418, member: 45197"] Hiya! I think it's in the "modularity" of 1e. Nothing is really "glued together" with 1e...if a DM wants, they an rip out the Proficiency rules and replace them with the ones from Powers & Perils (and old, early 80's fantasy RPG by Avalon Hill). Nothing else in the game will really be affected. Same with pretty much everything else. With 3.x/4e/PF, it's all so..."tight" with tendrils of one area snaking into others, it becomes more of a chore to consider the consequences of mucking with a major aspect of the game. With the advent of 5e, however, it has sort of severed many of these tendrils...almost like they are lego pieces. They can be shifted around her and there and still remain attached. You can even outright remove a piece and the system doesn't just implode (e.g., the OPTIONAL rules of Feats and Multiclassing; we don't use them, and the game runs just fine...). ^_^ Paul L.
