[QUOTE="oreofox, post: 7613905, member: 6776240"] I wanted to attempt to make 5e closer to 2e, with a big part of that being the ability scores. The drawback of that is all the numbers on monsters needing a huge redo. Since a creature with a 14 Con wouldn't get +2 hp per hit dice/level, or deal +3 damage with a 16 Str, etc. I did make one change, and that being no ability score could go above 18 without magic. I get the desire to do it every now and then, but I quickly lose that desire because of how daunting of a task just that little bit is. It might honestly be easier to start with 2e AD&D and add in 5e bits, than do the opposite. I haven't read about 100 of the replies to this thread, having jumped to the end after reading about 40, so apologies on that. If you want to run 2e, then run 2e. It could be nostalgia, or not. Only way to find out is to do it. People like to throw around "nostalgia" as a perjoritive, but not everything old is bad, just like not everything new is good. Sometimes it is the opposite (though 5e is overall good, to me). [/QUOTE]
