AD&D 1E What was so bad about unearthed arcana 1e?

Count me as a half-ogre super-fan. If it were up to our group, half-ogres, anti-paladins and witches would all have been in UA.

Anti-paladins and witches come up often as well.

Maybe the purge of anything “naughty” in 2e was already happening for UA?

The new druid and illusionist spells in particular made those underpowered classes a bit more capable.

I consider druids to be quite powerful. Illusionists are too, but they do require a creative player and a DM who is willing to let them shine.

Drow get the glory but deep gnome was the most broken.

From memory, they had a lot of abilities. I think they showed up in 3e with a large level adjustment.
