2nd Edition was the worst of all worlds. It lacked the cool fluff and atmospheric writing of the Gygax era (when demons and devils were actually called demons and devils) yet it also lacked the insane multi-classing possibilities of 3rd edition.

You beat me to it. I was gonna say this is too oldsk00l for these popamole codexers.Hobo Elf said:Clockwork Knight said:Lol, did you guys hear? Elves and dwarves are a race now, not a class. Fucking hell, ad&d
I still have my old D&D manuals where Dwarves, Elves and Normal Man are character classes.

Agreed. An elf mage who gets turned should be an elven vampire mage, not an elven vampire.
DraQ said:Vampirism is neither a race nor a class. It's an affliction. TES did it right.
Undead cannot be considered a race because undeath can be a condition of about every organic being and undeath, at least corporeal, doesn't generally override a good subset of racial traits including size, morphology and so on.Mastermind said:DraQ said:Vampirism is neither a race nor a class.

Actually they should be an undead subrace (assuming undead is considered a race, and arguments both for and against it could be made).

What else is new?various people said:Wow, D&D 4E sucks!

3.5 was so wonderful.
Actually it does, because that this matter used to be organic life is what defines undead.Mastermind said:DraQ said:Undead cannot be considered a race because undeath can be a condition of about every organic being
Actually undead is just animated dead matter. That the matter used to be organic life doesn't have to matter.
How about, for example, undead dragon?The same can be said for a great deal of broad "races" used in RPGs like lizards, demons, beasts, etc. Or even individual members of the same race. Undead Conan and an undead midget are more distinct than a beefy undead elf warrior and a run of the will undead human merc.
Right on Ebonsword. The First edition DM's guide and PH are works of art, and the later versions are pale imitations. I won't begrudge 2nd edition players, though. The two versions weren't all that different, not compared to 3.0, 3.5, and the steaming pile that is 4.0. Second edition did have some neat classes and features, and still rolled characters, all that.Ebonsword said:2nd Edition was the worst of all worlds.
