Message: <blockquote data-quote="Greg K" data-source="post: 4430104" data-attributes="member: 5038">Basic DND (Holmes): It was my introduction although I only played it for a week.- Modules B1, B2, X1- Gazateers 1-141e: The edition that got me into the game. It introduced me to the Demon Princes and Arch Devils, beholders, drow, kuo-toa, and mindflayers.- Several Modules: C1, D1-D3, G1-G3, I1, I3-5, I6, N1, L1-L2, Q1, S4, T1,  U1-U4, WG4 - 1e Forgotten Realms- FR 1-162e: - Cleric Spheres- The settings: Al Qaudim, Darksun, Ravenloft- Kits: good idea, but the patchwork mechanics of pre-3e DND made many of the kits wonky- Complete Thief's Handbook- Viking's Sourcebook-PO: Combat and Tactics- PO: Spells and Magic:  I like the spell point system and variant styles of magic based up on it.3eIt brought me back into DND.- Unified Resolution- (edit) Unified Experience chart- 3 Save Categories- Skill ranks are purchased- the breakdown of skills (except for Use rope).- Removing Race and level restrictions- 0/0 level multiclassing (3.0)- feats.  Although, imo, several of the combat feats could have been standard maneuvers.- Higher AC is better- Monsters have stat bonuses- the customizing a character section in the PHB although I would have liked to have seen elaboration.- Unearthed Arcana- OGL and d20STL allowing 3rd parties to play with the system. Without the 3pp support and their material,  I would not have stuck with 3e.- MM2, Fiend Folio, Fiendish Codex I, Lords of Madness, Dragonomicon, Stormwrack Stormwrack, Heroes of Horror, Book of Vile Darkness (as a DM resource). 4e- Removing most of the nonbiological aspects of race and making them feats. This is one of only a few things from my pre-3e questionaire feedback that did not make it into 3e.  I would love to see a 3pp do this for 3e.- Armor proficiencies, weapon proficiencies and save bonuses for a classes are bonuses only apply at to first level characters.  This was already a house rule of mine.  - Class based defense is official another one of the few things from my pre-questionaire feedback that did not make it into 3e.  Maybe somebody can adapt this to 3e.- Unified Save progression- Action point are core even if I don't like the 4e mechanics compared to other mechanics I have seen for d20/OGL games. - Passive Percepton. Already a house rule.- spellcasters are balanced, but I still dislike per encounter and daily- trimmed back the "Christmas Tree Syndrome"</blockquote>
