Message: <blockquote data-quote="Zardnaar" data-source="post: 6201903" data-attributes="member: 6716779">I played 3.5/Pathfinder up to the end of 2012 and then went back to 2nd ed and retroclones. Right now we are kind of playing a d20 2nd ed AD&D/retroclone hybrid using things like ascending ACs and fort/ref/will but plugged into an AD&D atmosphere. Most of my players are d20 types but they do not seem to mind even pure 2nd ed although they did not like THAC0 and things like that. Anyway I have started to prefer the old TSR classes leveling at different rates. I'm basically in the market for a d20 AD&D 3rd edition or a fixed 3.5 (Pathfinder is not it BTW) and in either case I would actually prefer the old school class progressions. It doesn't mean I think the xp tables were perfect by any means (Driud and Wizard xp tables come to mind from TSR days) just the basic concept. For example if I played 3.5 again I would not mind if the tier 1 classes advanced on a slow table, the tier 2-3 classes used a medium xp table and the tier 4 classes and lower leveled up faster. Or I could go with 2nd eds idea with the various classes having different xp tables or shared in some cases (Paladin/Ranger, Thif/Bard etc).  In theory a unified approach is better but after seeing the balance problems caused in 3.x, 4E homogenization of the classes and D&DN take on things I'm leaning towards ye old school approach. Just posting it to see what people prefer and if some WoTC D&D prefer different xp tables or if some OSR players would prefer a unified approach.</blockquote>
