[QUOTE="Incenjucar, post: 1814031, member: 6182"] Oh bloody. 1) No designer in D&D's history, not even ol' Gygax, has been infallable. 2) No edition of D&D, nor revision of it, has ever been perfect. 3) Even if that edition or revision were to ever be perfect for one person in this world, for one style of game they play, it would find flaw by others, and have to be modified. 4) Canon is not automatically correct or perfect or the best. Otherwise diaglo would be very happy because there would be no new editions, ever. 5) The earlier designers are not automatically better than the later designers. 6) Being personally involved in old rules will make you more aware of why they were put in place, but it sure as heck doesn't encourage an objective viewpoint on it. People tend to agree with themselves. 7) THAC0 was, at one point, intended to be the one true way to roll attacks in D&D. To argue sneak attack is correct because it was intended is to argue for THAC0 and every past thing in the game. They were all intended at one point or another. [/QUOTE]
