[QUOTE="SavageRobby, post: 3701442, member: 51573"] Hmm. In no particular order: I like the modern unified mechanic. I like C&C's version of it based off primes even more. I don't like the d20, though - I'd prefer to see something with an actual curve, like 2d10. I like defined spells. Not necessary the spell system (Vancian, or whatever), but I like having a large library of set, quirky spells that can be difficult to learn (1e's Know Spell % roll - or changed to an Int roll with the unified mechanic) and have strange, not always optimal spell effects. I don't like the "construct-a-spell" style of spell casting, where all spells are (basically) optimized. I like XP measured in hundreds and thousands, not in 1s and 2s (giving some granularity to advancement). I like the unified XP table of 3e, but I liked earlier versions slower XP progression of 1e. I like flat XP calculation, not scaled by level/CR/EL/whatever. I like grouped weapon proficiencies and armor proficiencies. I love the fast speed of 1e combat. I like many of the tactical options of 3e and the focus on miniatures/visual representation. (Again, I go to C&C for a nice middle ground.) I like the lower HP scaling and general power level of 1e.
