[QUOTE="pemerton, post: 5435759, member: 42582"] If it's Ok to respond to your reply to Hussar - I agree with this. Even when playing "classless" versions of Rolemaster - I don't think a classless version has ever been officially published, but there are various ideas floating around in the Guild Companion and other places as to how this can be done - there were still de facto classes, because of the differing suites of spell lists, and the fact that the development rules make it impossible to be expert at everything that an adventurer might hope to be expert in. In my experience this feature of a character build system can help facilitate party play. Just to reiterate - I'm not here to bag 1st ed AD&D. It - together with Moldvay/Cook and 4e - is one of the three versions of D&D I would ever have any interest in playing. I'm just denying that 4e's character build rules are obnoxiously constraining on PC development in a way that marks a radical break from earlier versions of D&D. [/QUOTE]
