Like the fact the bard wasn't in the first PH. Like how they turned a delicate nature spirit (the dryad) into a tree monster. A lack of non-combat illusions. Little details like that that just turned me off. Again, I'm not saying that it was a bad game. I'm saying that it left a bad first impression on me, which didn't make me want to buy it. And since nobody I knew at the time bought it for their own reasons, I didn't get to read it. Um. 2e (my first edition), 3x, and 5e contained all the elements I'm talking about. All three of those editions contained tons of stuff that weren't geared solely to combat encounters, as well as many very social traits. Whether or not the rules were actually good is a different matter entirely.</blockquote>
