[QUOTE="painandgreed, post: 3429857, member: 24969"] They've certainly produces a changed system. If it's better or not is in the eyes of the players which depends on if you agree with the changes or not. I like 3E better, but it still seems for every three steps forward they took two steps back., often changing the game into one I don't want to play. I was thinking about it the other day, and thinking of going back to 1E (if I had to). Static rule set. Tons of books and modules which I already have. Simipler. Easy to modify. in fact, most of the modification I want was already done back in the 80's in what could be considered years of playtesting. Spells weren't nerfed in 1E as they were in 3E or at least transfored so they had no use except in combat. Polymorph, for example, had uses outside of combat because the 1E duration was in the area of hours by time a magic-user coudl cast it. In 3E it's in the matter of minutes and not good for transportation or subterfuge, only combat. In fact, most of my gripes about 3E is that many rules have been molded to only be reveant to short close combats. While that's an important part of the game, I'd rather go for other things too.
