Message: <blockquote data-quote="JoeGKushner" data-source="post: 3073387" data-attributes="member: 1129">Elric was well versed in summoning gods at the start of the series. In the first book he summons the king of water elementals to save him from drowning. He's still using an artifact sword at that point, but it's the old Eternal Champions, Eural Aubek (misspelled that first name.)Heck, in the first book, while he's still king, he gets Stormbringer. Am I misremembering the series here? Elric, in the first book, is still king and now has his blade and has Arioch as his patron. And career? Hell, back in the day you'd multi-class, and that in and of itself is a solution to the problem of no warrior mages/rogue-warriors/rogue-wizards in the core rules. The elimination of multi-classing was useful in streamlining the book when couped with the ease of "classic" dual classing (going from one class to another.)And what assumptions were built into the system? That the GM had to do a lot of hand holding in order to avoid issues like that cropping up in the first place. Issues which are going to be far more in need of rapid hand waving in 3e if you mess with the basic assumptions.In the officially published adventurers, if there was just as much if not more treasure, that would indicate that by the book, the advneturers required just as much equipment no? are you just handwaving away part of TSR's publishing history with one hand and trying to cling to some part of it with the other?I don't disagree with your philosphy, but  it doesn't hold up 'officially'.</blockquote>
