[QUOTE="Grog, post: 3865620, member: 6183"] I think there were a few fundamental flaws. The big one I can think of right offhand is multiclassing. 3.X multiclassing works just fine - unless you're playing a spellcaster. Then, it's totally broken. It was broken so throughly that it warranted the release of PrC band-aids for it with the 3.5 revision, but that really didn't do anything to address the flaws in the system. Another problem is the power imbalance between spellcasters and non-spellcasters (the game is too heavily weighted against spellcasters at low levels, and too heavily weighted in favor of them at high levels). Though, in fairness, this isn't unique to 3.X - it's been a problem in every edition of D&D. And then there's the matter of CoDzilla, and the fact that high level characters are FAR too dependent on magic items.... So, yes, while I think 3.X D&D was a good system, it definitely had some fundamental problems. [/QUOTE]
