[QUOTE="Jefe Bergenstein, post: 6521862, member: 31506"] He doesn't PLAY 5E. He's just ranting and yelling at clouds. Its overpowered because its different than whatever random rule Gygax made up when his mind was younger and more flexible. Different = overpowered! You wanna talk overpowered? Nothing beats the cheese of 1E/2E's broken ass multiclassing rules. So... I could be a wizard. Or I can be a cleric/wizard and be on average, a level behind in exchange for way more spells, better saves, turn undead, more HP, better THAC0... Where do I sign up? The good news for him is AD&D didnt go anywhere, and he can still play it. The good news for us is others who don't want to wont have to explain its backwards mechanics to new players anymore because game design has improved beyond +1 armors LOWERING your AC because... reasons! Hey my dex reaction adjustment of +2 LOWERS my initiative, which is good! My charisma reaction adjustment of +1 RAISES my reaction with NPC's, which is good. High/low, by bother with consistency! AD&D was needlessly convoluted and the rules were frankly a barrier to getting people in the hobby. [/QUOTE]
