That was two more points into your weapon of choice, giving you +1 to hit and +2 Dmg.  Sound alot like what you can get now for two feats? Yep, sure does!3e was in large part a huge redesign that brought everything back into balance.  2e was way out of whack towards the end.  With the Arms Race back on... some people are saying that Balance is again becoming an issue.  However, its nothing like it used to be.  3.X is still pretty nicely balanced.Err, missed that line. :/Before all the stuff I mentioned above... we faked it. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />As to that elitist BS about having imagination back then... speak for yourself berk!  Every min/maxed and powergamed character I make even now is rich with imagination.  The day Imagination goes out the window (whether Imagination is borken or not <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />) is the day I lay down my dice and pick up shuffle-board.You're either...1) A Crazy man with fuzzy memoryor2) one of those who just never subscribed to the 2e Arms Races <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />)Dex-fighters owned in 2e.  Back before the stats were made equal, Dex was king (now that title goes to Str).  I can still make a 1st level 2e Fighter with an AC around -2 without wearing armor.  Kits and whatnot. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /></blockquote>
