[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 9521140, member: 7030563"] When I was playing 1E the formula was simple for choosing your class. Unearthed Arcana were official rules, unlike today. When they were published they changed character creation and you automatically qualified for a class if you were a human. Assuming you were going to play a Lawful Good human here is what you did: [B]Before UA:[/B] Before UA you rolled your stats and if you qualified for a Paladin you played a Paladin (I don't think I ever saw this in play). If you did not qualify for a Paladin but did qualify for Ranger you played a Ranger. If you did not qualify for either you played a fighter [B]After UA:[/B] Under the rules for UA single class characters chose class before rolling, they had a pool of dice based on the choice and anything below the minimum was raised to the minimum. After these rules came out the Lawful Good martials were all Paladins, and the non LG martials were mostly Cavaliers. Occasionally there was a Ranger thrown in there, but usually only on Elf or Half-Elf characters. [/QUOTE]
