[QUOTE="Zardnaar, post: 6760564, member: 6716779"] If you skipped 3E and 4E though you are not really going to know about most of the stuff you listed. COntro was not as good in AD&D as boom was a lot better all things being relative. 2E did not really have muchin the way of copmbos at least not without throwing splat books at it to get access to kits. In AD&D you oculd build a decent fighter that used dagger, longbows/shjort bows, sword and board thats what I meant with 4E being hard coded relative to 2E. You are a defender and you have a choice of sword and board or two handed (in the PHB anyway) and that is it. 2E was more fluid in that regard. It had roles in a loser sense.
