[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 7416956, member: 15700"] I'll even go so far to say that 3e isn't that complicated to begin with. It's just adding and subtracting integers from a single die roll--pretty much the same rule to resolve most everything. D20 + x + Y - z, etc. 1e is way more complicated. Just look at the DMG. Pretty much everything had it's own equation that wasn't like the others, and then after figuring all the modifiers, go look at a table. Because I prefer 1e to 3e doesn't mean I think 3e fans are newbs and/or not able to handle 1e. The only way in which 3e has more complexity is on character progression, and that's only really because 3e did a fairly poor job avoiding trap feats and avoiding system mastery from wrecking the experience of anyone at the table who didn't memorize the best builds. So no, I don't think 3e is all that complex. Again, IMO, it's tedious. And I'm fully aware that's personal taste and not some objective declaration. If someone prefers that system, more power to them. Game on. Just don't act like you're somehow superior to other people. [/QUOTE]
