[QUOTE="AkaKageWarrior, post: 7501637, member: 67010"] I also started with 1e, in 1986 or so? I played through all editions, the worst for me and my gang was 4e. 2e was a big jump towards player friendliness in terms of character building, 3e really good for streamlining some stuff (does really anybody miss thAC0 and saving throw tables? I don't), 3e5 repaired some of 3e. 4e - let us not talk about that horrid construct. "Encounter powers", no thanks, what a crap. Pathfinder = 3e75: best in complexity and possibilities and power level (as ridiculous as 3e/3e5) And now 5e - and I really like it! Reduced "power level", but they kept the streamlined "d20 vs DC", and the ability improvements by level. So about the original complaint: ASIs Yes, if you roll your character stats, it might happen that characters become too powerful. I see the ASIs more for the point-buy character building - which is in a way the most fair one when comparing characters. Another thing: Why shouldn't a fighter become stronger? If you start boxing now, I guess that not only your technical boxing skills (or level) will improve, but that you will probably be stronger in a few months (and con, and dex, okay int might suffer ;) ). I have no problems at all with ASIs, quite the opposite, I really like it as an on-going character- building/development tool. [/QUOTE]
