Message: <blockquote data-quote="Salamandyr" data-source="post: 7360192" data-attributes="member: 40233">D&D--searching takes 10 minutes per 10' square searched.  It's even worse when the DM doesn't know the rules (most of them) that players have a 1 in 6 chance (2 in 6 chance for dwarves) of detecting a trap (and even if undetected, then traps only have a 2 in 6 chance of triggering).AD&D--a few things, but the biggest: 1 minute combat rounds.  I guess one could say initiative in general, but no one understands it.2nd Edition--too many to list, but could be summed up in the number of rules that sounded great from a narrative standpoint but made doing it darn near unplayable in game.3rd Edition--that there is no diminishing return to skill improvement ruins what was otherwise an absolutely great theft of the Rolemaster mechanic for D&D.5th Edition--the pillow fight phenomenon; everything has too darn many hit points.GURPS--character creation; all of itTRUE20/Mutants & Masterminds--the Toughness save/too many stuns.Marvel Superheroes--there's no defensive effect.  A high Agility (like Spider-man) just hads his Agility points to his health.  Unless he actively dodges (and loses his action, he's no harder to hit than Aunt May.Traveller--if you're not trained in a skill, you have a -3 penalty to all rolls against it.Rolemaster--just too many skills, and too parsed out.WEG Star Wars/D6 system: I don't like the wild die.Trying to think if there is anything else I've played enough to have an opinion on.</blockquote>
