[QUOTE="Water Bob, post: 5545548, member: 92305"] Yeah, thanks for posting. That looks like a worthy book. I'll check it out. Yes! Items saving throws! How about FIVE types of character savign throws instead of three? Here's one I really miss....[COLOR=blue]In 1E, 1st level Rangers used a d8 Hit Die, but at 1st level, Rangers got 2-16 hit points![/COLOR] Talk about surviving that 1st level dungeon! And, I know it's sick, but I think I'm one of the few people in the world who actually liked having a [I]chance[/I] to roll low HP for a character. In a game not too long ago, I had a 2E game with a player who rolled up an elf fighter with ONE FRIGGIN' HIT POINT at first level. We all thought the character was a goner, but the player did an excellent job of keeping the character out of face-to-face fights, supporting the group with a bow. Then, second level came along, and the player rolled 1d10 for the HP increase and rolled....no kidding...a "2". So, at 2nd level, the character had THREE FRIGGIN' HIT POINTS! Again, for the entire time the character spent at level 2, the player turned this elf into a heck of a bowman. Finally, at level 3, the elf rolled 9 on his d10, for a total of 12 hit points. When we ended that mini-campaign, the elf was still alive! Never died and was brought back by magic, either. It was fun. I'm not sure too many players would see it as fun, though, but we liked it.
