[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 9197997, member: 4348"] For the original options, I'd probably normally almost always choose 1e over 2e for those two. Interestingly enough, in response to some statements in the thread...the 1e versions of the Assassin and Monk were available in a slightly tweaked form in 2e via the Scarlet Brotherhood book. Also the 1e Ranger was in the Complete Ranger and the 1e Druid in the Complete Druid. I think the 1e barbarian may have been available in the Complete Barbarian (not positive, would have to go back and look at my copy). The 1e Cavalier was not available ever as far as I know it from an official 2e source. However, if you HAD the 1e books and used the grandfather clause, all your 1e stuff could be used in 2e...if you wanted it to be. The one thing I missed in 2e was Wild Elves/Grugach. They may have made an appearance and I just forgot about it, but my memory kind of tells me they just used Wood Elves from then out instead and erased the Wild Elves from Memory. Pity as I loved Wild Elves. [/QUOTE]
