[QUOTE="MPA2000, post: 7755041, member: 6682107"] I believe that BX might mean Basic and expert editions? Bas was introductory and was meant for play at very low levels. Expert was for experienced players. The BECMI, I think may have revised rules, but I know it was developed by Frank Metzner. This included the Basic and Experts (BE) and Companion and Masters (CM). The C and M were for veterans with high experience levels (up 36th level)! Immortal was something completely different, as Frank decided make Immortals playable characters. There were two ways to get an Immortal character your high level character can attempt to get his Immortal to sponsor him, or the DM can just let you role one up. Regular mortal characters can attain up to 36th level, but Immortals were NOT 37th level and higher. Nope they were an entirely different kind of player character altogether. Of course then Aaron Allston came along and revised things further with the Rules Cyclopedia, which was equivalent to a hardcopy BECM. The Immortals part was replaced with Wrath of the Immortals rulebook. [/QUOTE]
