Message: <blockquote data-quote="diaglo" data-source="post: 2309417" data-attributes="member: 2885">the character with the least amount of change as compared to previous editions IMO is Wizard (the newer editions)... aka ... Mage (2edADnD)... aka ... Magic-user (OD&D, 1edADnD, 2edD&D, and 3edD&D).the big change for that class includes spell selection and how they work. but otherwise the class is very much unchanged.Fighter (newer editions, 2edADnD, and 1edADnD)... aka Fighting Man (OD&D, 2edD&D, and 3edD&D) has changed. to build an effective fighter requires learning skills and feats. and tweaking your stats and race to make it work.Same with Rogue... aka Thief. skills become important. and class abilities have become skills.the class with the biggest change over the editions is Cleric(most editions).... aka Priest (2edADnD). each edition changed the class in some form or fashion. alignment, domains, turning ability, weapons, etc...other classes with moderate to heavy change would include from heaviest to lightest change: Monk, Paladin, Ranger, Barbarian, and Druid.Assassin is not even a class anymore as it once was. nor is Illusionist.and then you have the new classes. Bard (no longer a PrC since 2edADnD) and Sorceror.</blockquote>
