I like realistic looking weapons and armor, none of this silly spiky stuff, wierd shaped shields, and so on.  It may look "kewl and fresh" to some people, but to me it looks stupid.  Warriors used the gear they used because it was effective, not because of how it looked.  Remember when books would by mostly black and white with some full-color image plates scattered throughout?    I'd rather have more products of my imagination <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> (as long as the rules are good), than overpriced glossy four-colored books with a lot of bad art.I'm kind of mixed on the whole cleric/specialty priest issue.  I remember towards the end of 2e, specialty priests started edging out clerics.  I think 3e did what it did to bring the basic cleric back.  And specialty priests were horridly imbalanced, you had over-nerfed priests from the Complete Priest's Handbook compared to overpowered priests from Faiths and Avatars.  Spheres were imbalanced to some degree, you had some great spheres, and some that were utter crap.  However, the base cleric simply doesn't work for some types of gods.   Not all faiths I see as having militant priests, and some diversity would be good as well.No wierd spells aren't really a problem for me.   Spells aren't really that hard to convert.  PCs can still find those old spells IMC, with some exceptions.  No find familiar, not needed anymore.  No  metamagic spells, that's covered by feats.Don't miss crumbling drow magic items, because I never used it that way.  I never bought into the "strange magical radiation" of the classic Underdark.</blockquote>
