[QUOTE="theredrobedwizard, post: 3689198, member: 21340"] I hated things like "frequency" and "number appearing in lair". Gluh. If you want the monster to appear, it happens to be there. If you want it to be by its lair, then it is. There aren't need for rules about this. To be fair, I agree with him. I've been playing for 16 years or so now. It's not just younger kids that disliked ye olde d&d, ya know. Do you really have players coming forth to play characters like this? Really? Or is this some kind of thinly veiled attempt to bait people into another board spanning edition war? At least format your entry right. :p Half-Fiend Gelatinous Cube Weretiger Paladin of Tyranny 5/Dragon Shaman (Black) 5/Assassin 3/Mystic Theurge 1/Witchhunter 1. This character would be very much evil, or he'd lose about 60% of his class features; not at all appropriate for most D&D games. Such a character would never refer to themself as a Paladin/Dragon Shaman/Assassin/Mystic Theurge/Witchhunter; they'd most likely refer to themself as "The Chosen of Tiamat" or some other descriptive name. Look, I appreciate where D&D comes from, and I try not to bash older editions of the game; I really try. Just try to keep that in mind about us "young kids" and "whipper-snappers" before you go doggin' on our fun. ;) -TRRW edit: I found something I miss about older editions of D&D; Reversible spells. Saved so much space in the PHB spells section. Cure/Inflict Light Wounds as one spell was good times. [/QUOTE]
