[QUOTE="Musing Mage, post: 8518968, member: 7025552"] Things I hate about the various editions... BECMI - This set got me hooked on D&D in my tender teen years... I HATE that I didn't find it sooner, all those wasted years from the time I could read... AD&D 1e - What I hate most about 1e is how perfectly perfect it is, don't you just hate an overachiever? Level limits for Demihumans, Weapon type vs AC... chef's kiss! Oh, and I guess I hate that 1e makes me do a chef's kiss like some effete snob! AD&D 2e - I hate that it's not 1e. 3e - What do I hate about it? Yes. 4e - It didn't even make me curious to open the book for a glance. Wait, that's a lie - I did flip through the PHB once at a store. :unsure: I hate that it made me curious enough to flip through it at a store once. 5e - I hate, hate, HATE the 'take two aspirin and have a good night's sleep' school of healing. Edit: oops - you were looking for a specific rule that I hate from each :unsure: ... let me ponder... BECMI - Smash rule... adding strength score to damage at only the cost of -5 to strike... I say smash that rule. AD&D 1e - Okay, despite how perfectly perfect it is, I'll concede I don't like the DMG unarmed combat rules. AD&D 2e and 3e - I stand by what I said! 4e - Surges. Ugh. 5e - Stand by what I said! [/QUOTE]
