[QUOTE="Lamoni, post: 1814104, member: 12680"] No crime at all. I am someone who was introduced to the game during 3rd edition and upgraded to 3.5 and I have found combat to be quite simple and straightforward. Most encounters we don't bother with any miniatures or a grid. 3.5 does leave a lot of options for you to do in combat, but 95% of the time we just move and attack, full attack, or cast a spell. The timing and initiative hasn't ever come up as anything hard to grasp and seems to make combats simple. Therefore it is hard for me to think that it could have been more simple than it is now and I am curious. Could you or someone else who is familiar with 1st edition give a more detailed description of its combat system? I was just curious what things were easier in 1st edition and what is easier in 3.5 Don't say that nothing was easier in 1st because I think it is hard to find two systems where one is inferior in every way... The majority of ways usually, but rarely every way. [/QUOTE]
