[QUOTE="Holy Bovine, post: 59437, member: 203"] I just about fell out of my chair when I read this one :D Can't say I'll ever miss THACO or 2E save tables. I even had two players in my group who, after 8 years of playing 2E AD&D STILL hadn't mastered THACO (even with nifty little tables that I had printed out just for them - maybe they were just stupid ;) ). They aren't in my campaign now but I think they wouldn't have had as much trouble with BAB. I picked up on it pretty fast (as did my less-than-mathmatically-inclined group). About the only thing I can say i miss was the specialty priests but the new domains in Defenders of the Faith and the Divine & Defeated Scarred Lands book have more than made up for it IMO. As far as weapons lists and such I too found that the vast majority of them were ignored in favour of the high/damage/speed weapons like swords, flails and daggers. And I like the 3E artwork (certainly more than 1E and about the same as 2E) but that is a very subjective thing. [/QUOTE]
