[QUOTE="Shadeydm, post: 3686456, member: 44243"] I miss Weapon Speed which was an excellent balancing mechanic to add value for those who use smaller, lighter weapons vs. big slow high damage weapons. I miss almost never needing to look up rules in the book because I pretty much knew them by heart. I love minis and have used them from AD&D to the present day, but I liked it when the rules focused less on them. Combat in the current edition seems to focused on moving x amount of squares and tumbling y amount to avoid attacks of opportunity and to gain flanking. It does at times seem to mirror chess more than the DnD I grew up playing in the early 80s. Ultimatly though the only edition I play these day is 3.5 and it gets the job done well enough that I have never felt the need to dig out my old books and look for people interested in the first edition. * I almost forgot I really miss being able to whip up npcs in mere minutes. The process is very time consuming in the current edition. [/QUOTE]
