[QUOTE="Zardnaar, post: 6852932, member: 6716779"] I have played with AD&D style MC as recently as a week ago and tomorrow I am playing 5E with a Monk. I have come to prefer it over WotC MCing. It is used in Castles and Crusades but you add the xp togather and add a bit more so you can be a level 5/5 Fighter/thief with a d8 hit dice. No more AD&D Fighter/thief6 with 1d110/2+1d6/2 (rounded down in both cases) and add half your con modifier. I also do not mind the different xp rates for the classes either after using it again. Some classes like Thief could still do with a buff as I thought something like the 3.0 thief in a 2E campaign with the thief xp table would be fun. My players prefer 5E but I can usually talk them into a one shot or small campain for a module or 2 of C&C/AD&D/ or ACKs on occasion and I get to play 1E on rare occasions as a player. I like the 2E balance (nerfed spellcasters compared with B/x and 1E) but some of the innovation in clones (tweaked classes, xp tables). Oh I miss the 2E speciality priest system although 5E domain system is the best since then IMHO. [/QUOTE]
